Writing is part of my meditative process to clarify my thoughts, to align my actions and to focus on my purpose. I write about my emotions, my shortcomings, and my ideas for a better world through poetry, prose, and what I call rantifestos every day, some of which I post here on my blog and on social media.

My Obsession With Potential
May 15, 2023

We always have a few lines in the water looking for some bites and nibbles on better opportunities. Hoping we catch something. Something big.
Train station of thoughts
January 23, 2023
Our minds are like Grand Central Stations. Or Union Station in LA! They are busy, busy places where trains are coming and going.

And sometimes we jump on the trains and sometimes we jump off the trains and sometimes the trains overwhelm us when we are tired and sometimes we are able to navigate seamlessly through the train traffic when we are present.
Let your fire burn brightly in 2023!
January 3, 2023
Each of us has this incredible flame within us, this fire that we’ve either nurtured or ignored. But there’s a fire within, that is unique to each of us. It’s the essence of who we are. It is something that has been determined by the generations, by the genetics, by the generosity of others. And gratitude is an essential fuel for that fire.
Let that shit go

Disappointment and achievement are inextricably tied together. They are complementary. You can not have one without the other. There is no real disappointment without passion and love. When you care deeply about something, and you construct a trajectory of expectations, you are destined for the land of disappointment.
What if this is the best time? Because it is.

We say things to impress ourselves and others. We blow smoke where there will never be any fire. We verbalize our aspirations to show we off the breadth of our interests. But interest without intention and ultimately investment is just irresponsible illusion without integrity.
The axe for the frozen sea
October 5, 2022
The only way we can evolve/develop our ideas about who we are and why we’re here is to seek difference, discomfort, something that challenges the way we see things. It’s about finding out how wrong we are along the way. It’s not reinforcing what we think is right. It’s trying to understand how to test and update our truths that guide our lives.
The Game of Life
September 6, 2022
The ego interferes with your full presence. The craving for status needs to be monitored and minimized. This opens your mind, your heart and eyes to a much bigger world that can never be reduced to dollars. Compassion and love become new scripts.
