Dear world, Why are you so scared? That was a rhetorical question. No need to analyse fear to give me a well thought out answer. No need to tell me about Amygdala, Hippocampus, fight or flight programming and all that jazz. Dear world, see how beautiful you are. I mean really. Come on. With so… Continue reading Dear World, Why Are You So Scared?

Lone Horse In The Field
I am a lone horse in the field. I gallop in the wild open meadow of my mind, where ever I please. Lone horse in the field. Wedded no one, and yet I did. I birthed nobody, yet I did. His power burns in my belly I gallop in his arms, free. Lone horse in… Continue reading Lone Horse In The Field

“Achieve! Achieve” But Why?
Discussions on productivity just sound like another form of the litany “ACHIEVE! ACHIEVE” to me. This voice only grew louder and meaner as I found myself unable to continue in the corporate and academic world and was left wondering – “So then, now what?” So what if I get 78 on 100, or 85 on… Continue reading “Achieve! Achieve” But Why?

Suck away at the mango of life. Suck away at its pulp. Drink in every drop of its juice with awareness. Grate your teeth in its reshaa and on the guthlee. Take in the bliss.
