So, what protects a man from insanity if he chooses to have a wonderful life? Answer is: Friendship. An open heart where love flows, and this flow of love among men, this not only safeguards a man’s spiritual journey and protects him from chaos, it also allows the wonder to propagate backwards from the periphery to the center of the community where not just one man but all men are elevated to a better plane and perspective. Our friend Socrates is a great example of this kind. … More The Saving Grace of Friendship: The Ultimate Life Hack
Widen your perspective and see that the soul’s journey is always an upward trajectory, that suffering is both transient and necessary if beauty and transcendence is the goal. From within this new perspective, gratitude is not more a chore but rather an obvious and spontaneous response to the path. Love all that is, for all is serving your fine end. … More The Attitude of Gratitude
To express and realize the desire of the heart, one must call the beloved into presence with one’s all being. All organs, subtle and gross, must call on the beloved: the heart by prayer, the tongue by speaking the truth, the eyes by seeing beauty, the ears by active listening, and the body by selfless service. When all of a man’s being calls on the same thing, that’s well-being and harmony; when there’s divergence and each organ wants something different, that’s disease. … More Of Fratricide, Love, & Prayer: Pleas of a Restless Heart

My memories are living experiences of parts of me that are still living in the places and situations I have visited. I have left them there because they didn’t want to leave but they are still living. And it strikes me that if I am still living everywhere and at all times at once, then all places and times must be living within me! … More On Hell & The Late Afternoon Sea

To move out of the looming chaos, we can pay attention to the loudest call that’s drawing our attention to itself; in most cases it’s very simple and is something in our most immediate environment and time-zone. Perhaps cleaning something up, writing the next blog post, renewing the car’s annual inspection, etc.. It’s only when our immediate environment (both mental and physical) is in a state of relative order that we can get a more stable long-term vision of our life and the next right step toward it. When we make our day a relatively clean day, not only do we allow the next layer of possibilities to shines forth, we also create more positive emotions through these meaningful actions, emotions that are conducive to more meaningful actions that can exponentially improve our situation. … More How to use our inner chaos to lead a better life and become who we’re meant to be
When your mind is set on something, the universe will take you to it. When your heart is set on something, the universe will bring it to you. Mind makes stone monuments; love breaks through them.
