Butterflies always fascinated me by their sheer beauty, elegance and magnificence. Noiseless and weightless, yet arresting and disarming at the same time: true creatures of creation and they undergo a process of transformation that seems utterly unfathomable and inconceivable, and when they emerge they live fully and freely but for such shortness of time. There…

There is something redemptive about chaos and confusion; it brings things into focus for it prevents us from doing anything really, except being present. Without clarity, we seem unable to move and the chaos adds to the frustration and agitation. We are compelled to stay the course and be that solidity in the sea of…

Yoga is a great practice and one of my favourites. All the poses and salutations, all the movements into parts of the body that are closed and creaky that are holding energies and keeping us stuck. It is powerful in many ways. One of my yoga teachers is so effusive and animated; he literally sings…

Too often I have heard of horror first dates or even horror divorces. You hear of no-shows on a first date, or of leaving a date without letting the other person even know they have gone, or of insults levelled or remarks made that make you wonder what it is about people that makes them…

Owing to patterns and programs, conditions and beliefs, we can think anything, including things that are utterly incongruent with or opposed to what is. With issues, people argue with reality and indeed with possibility. The obvious can be in plain sight but invisible to us. Waiting for things to dawn on some, or for the…

Self-deception, self-delusion, self-sabotage, self-revulsion. The ego and its need to keep up appearances is a powerful thing. Aligned to this reality, the ego is a fragile voice that can wage war within and even prevent us from looking in the very direction of those things that would most benefit us. It is clever and relentless…
