Dreaming A Life

How am I to know what to do? So many stories floating by, which one is true? Overwhelming paralysis, a deepening psychosis; The inevitable entropy of total half-heartedness.   Afraid to open and let my voice come forth; To speak from the heart and let the truth show its worth. I try to listen and calm the chatter; But the silent voice remains unheard, what does it matter?   My […]

Five Traveling Insights: Nomadic Truths From One Perspective

Five Traveling Insights: Nomadic Truths From One Perspective   For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed the adventure of traveling. The notion of a two week vacation over the entire year seemed absurd to me when contrasted with a childhood of nomadic summers. Now, the entire idea of “vacation” is something that I have let go of. I discovered that I was using the excuse of being […]

Lunar Chakra Cleanse Lessons

Lunar Chakra Cleanse Lessons   A couple weeks ago I completed a cleanse that I created and named the Lunar Chakra Cleanse. It involved eating foods matching the colours of each of the seven chakras (ROYGBIV) during one moon cycle, four days for each colour for a total of 28 days. My main intention was to ‘mono’ eat (only one or two foods at a time) in order to isolate […]

Ripples of Effect

Ripples of Effect  “How wonderful that no one need wait a single moment to improve the world.” – Anne Frank A question that I often ask myself is, “how can I make the biggest difference in the world?” The magnitude of change required now to steer humanity back onto the path of natural balance is calling forth each of our individual gifts. Indeed, the steps required to repair our home […]

Ten Teachings From My Dad

Ten Teachings From My Dad I often sense the impression that a quest for inner truth and personal growth is taken to reflect mistakes made during youth. I want to make it clear that this is in no way the case and that I harbor no resentment or hard feelings when I look back on my childhood. In fact, I have nothing but fond memories of that time of my […]

The Story of Eden’s Cove: Insights and Experiences into Urban Community Living

***** The Paradox of Our Age We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more information to […]

My Quest For Fulfillment

My Quest for Fulfillment This will be my final online posting for two weeks as I will be leaving tomorrow for Merritt, British Columbia for a 10 day silent meditation retreat, called a Vipassana Meditation. I am really excited and a little nervous for the challenging journey ahead, but I am mostly looking forward to the opportunity to totally unplug from the growing snowball of life’s to do lists. For […]

What Happened to my Education?

What Happened to My Education? A Graduating Student’s Final Request My inspiration for this entry arose out of some personal disappointment and frustration during my Strategic Management class at the University this afternoon. The disappointment I am feeling is due to succumbing to fear and my resulting inability to speak what I was really thinking about in my class. Instead of going deeper with what I was really asking I […]
