Surrender

Most of us think of surrender in negative terms.  It’s associated with loss, loss of sovereignty, loss of control, loss of the goal we were striving for, possibly loss of dignity, loss of self-esteem.  Surrender is something we see mostly in terms of conflict: war, politics, rivalries, and business.  People try to dress is up…

Kintsukuroi

“Everything happens for a reason” Well, that’s a lovely thought and I know it has really helped people through horrific times.  Unfortunately I find, over and over again, that it isn’t the truth.  I look in people’s soul books seeking an answer for why this or that happened, what the person is meant to learn…

In any relationship there are at a minimum two people.  While it may be an oversimplification, in general one of those two people will have been the seeker and the other will have been the sought.  These categories are less about the act of looking for someone to be in relationship with or the willingness…

Life Is Short

On the one hand, no opportunity is truly lost.  The specifics may change, the timing, but if it’s something you really want, it doesn’t matter that you didn’t get there 10 minutes ago or 10 years ago, you can have it now.  Yes, it will look different than it would have before, but you are…
