lost

stand still. the trees ahead and bushes beside you
are not lost. wherever you are is called Here,
and you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
must ask permission to know it and be known.
the forest breathes. listen.
it answers,
I have made this place around you.
if you leave it, you may come back again… Read more 

a question

a voice said, look me in the stars
and tell me truly, men of earth,
if all the soul-and-body scars
were not too much to pay for birth? Read more

data points

Lately, I’ve been let down by some people. At work. It’s been one of those stretches where it feels like every time I start to trust someone, they show me something… rather shocking. And it sucks. Read more 

the guest house

this being human is a guest house.
every morning a new arrival.a joy, a depression, a meanness,

inner peace

At 35, I’ve come to realize something mildly tragic but also kind of funny: I’ve had not one, but two major blind spots about inner peace. And the result—spoiler alert—was that I hardly ever felt at peace 🙃1. First off, I completely missed the point that inner peace is... well, inner.You’d think t… Read more

the road not taken

two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
and sorry I could not travel both
and be one traveler, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim,
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for… Read more 

the mountain

if the mountain seems too big today then climb a hill instead

if the day ahead weighs heavy and your plans feel like a curse
there’s no shame in re-arranging don’t make yourself feel worse
if a shower stings like needles and a bath feels li… Read more 

desiderata

go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
as far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
avoid loud and… Read more 

what then?

his chosen comrades thought at school
he must grow a famous man;
he thought the same and lived by rule,
all his twenties crammed with toil;
'what then?' sang Plato's ghost. 'what then?'
everything he wrote was read,
after certain years he won
sufficient money for his need,
friends that … Read more 

if

if you can keep your head when all about you        are losing theirs and blaming it on you,    if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,     but make allowance for their doubting too;    if you can wait and not be tired by waiting,     or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, or being hated, don… Read more
