Creative Meanderings

I do not have much to say today. Overall, I feel pretty good. My mind is a bit quieter and calmer than it has been. I am not sure as to why but it could be a number of things: Immediate bills paid up Taking vitamin B again Sleeping Routine returned Or, it is a combination of all of the above. I finally feel as if there is a light at the end…

I seem to be having respect issues with my husband. It is not a really serious one, but it is something that I will be keeping my eye on and seems to relate to my posts this week. When someone works in a predominantly male environment where ‘man-talk’ is the norm I can understand that it might be difficult to draw the lines between work and home. Now I am a fairly open…

This morning I sit here trying to figure out what to post about and find my mind drifting. More signs that the ups and downs are definitely on the up causing my brain to go into rapid fire mode. Most of yesterday I felt as if I had a load of energy bottled up inside that was much like one feels from a caffeine overdose in a day. Although I was happy, there…

This weekend is a long one to celebrate the Prophet’s Ascension much like we rejoice in Christ’s rising for Easter. How they differ I don’t know…. Anyway, it has been a full weekend of socializing and a couple of late nights.  One evening we spent talking with a friend about human nature and our expectations of people.

And, I…

Our current political climate feels as if we have gone back in time to an era when women were objectified and respected for how they best serve their men. However, this feeling that we have gone backwards is a lie. The truth is that we never progressed. Instead, we merely sugar-coated, appeased and pretended that women have made progress in the world.  Sure, women have much more freedom than they ever had. Women…

One of the things that we talk a lot about in yoga philosophy is the idea of detachment. This refers to detaching from images, sense of identity, expectations on: self, people, results, etc., and even from others. Now some people dislike the interpretation of detaching from people because it may seem like a lonely or cold way to live, but perhaps that it itself is an attachment to some unknown idea of what…

Do you ever feel as if you are could possibly be walking the thin line between life and death? I do not mean this in the sense of suicide or premonitions of some dramatic accident occurring. I mean in the sense that perhaps some great awakening, change of a life season or maybe, yes, even actual death is about to happen to you. This is somewhat how I feel lately.  I feel as…
