“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused … And yet when we choose to embody Love fully; when we choose to give it raw, without holding […]
“No matter what people will tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” … I ended my last post about Robin Williams’ death with this quote, and over the course of the few hours since then, it has got me to thinking … Was this quote actually from Robin, or was it one of […]
In ancient Jewish tradition, a person was only considered truly “passed on” on the fourth day after their body stopped living (Interesting, isn’t it, that Jesus was less than three full days in the tomb … But I digress). Well, today is the fourth day since Robin Williams was found dead in his apartment, meaning […]

“Fundamentally, helping, fixing, and service are ways of seeing life. When you help you see life as weak, when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. From the perspective of service, we are all connected: all suffering is like my suffering and all Joy is like my […]
