A little digression

Ok, going off subject for just a moment, I love Shakespeare in the park.  It’s a delight of summer like ice-cold beer and baseball and hand-made ice cream and hotdogs on the grill.  Acting groups everywhere are setting up in parks with makeshift costumes to play out the comedies of Shakespeare. …Details

People are so Amazing

I don’t think people realize how amazing they are.  When I read for a client the first thing I do is look at who they are within their body.  I’m always awestruck by how beautiful they are and how unique.  Because I’m like every other human and like order I can place them in broad categories like Healer, Builder, Seeker, Teacher, Seer, but each person I meet is unique in how they experience and manifest this. …Details

So what do I do?

Common enough question.  What do I do?  And my answer is usually, “What do you want to do?”.  Which is not what people want to hear.  People asking that question want someone else to be in charge.  They want someone else to be responsible. …Details

Seeing the patterns

We have amazingly analytical brains.  We’re constantly looking, in taking information, then making patterns out of it.  Especially other people’s behavior.  We can fairly easily see an acquaintance pick the wrong type of man over and over, the boss making the worst decision for the department, again, or actor in the horror flick reaching for that closet door. …Details

People’s Expectations

Human beings are amazing at information gathering and analysis.  You do it every day.  You look at something in your house and you categorize the shapes and colors into types of furniture, decorations, useful tools, things to enjoy, things to use, things to do, what affects you and what you effect in the now and in the future plus you instantly recognize their relevance to your past. …Details

They don’t know motivations, or lack thereof, and they don’t understand the full picture the way you live it. …Details

Trust is a small word for a huge concept.  For some it is something given automatically and then either flourishes or dies a slow death from abuse.  For others it’s something that is earned through good intentions followed by good actions repeated over time. …Details

What if my GPS says “recalculating”

Being human means making mistakes. If you are making them then you’re not alive.  That’s just the deal. You’d think that making them, possibly daily, we’d get used to it, stop being worried about it, or even become ok with it, but not so much.…Details

Interconnected

Everything is interconnected.  No I’m not going to start singing “The Circle of Life”.  That movie makes me a bit crazy.  However being a human being in a body means that you are connected to everything around you.  The plants in your house create part of the oxygen you breath. …Details

Have a good 4th of July

We just got through Canada day and now it’s 4th of July.  I’m not into nationalism or indulging in drunkenness and excess just because we have the day off.   And I’m not sure how helpful it is to meditate on all that this country has done for us because ‘this country’ is a huge theory that really doesn’t impact most people. …Details
