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. I share them to help others move along their paths to live and lead with compassion.
Whether the first time or the last time, everything we undertake is new. It may not be literally the first time but it is a different time. It may feel similar or even identical and our brain will start to blur because we think we know what to do, what we see. We miss the moment as we relive the memory and miss the new reality.
Our minds are like Grand Central Stations. Or Union Station in LA! They are busy, busy places where trains are coming and going. Ideas and thoughts are arriving and departing on a regular and irregular basis. 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.
Our attention is all we really have and all we really give. We try to listen, empathize and care, but we are often distracted by the past and the future.
Every week I send out a list of things I think are worth sharing—to kick your ass—new posts, resources, and recommendations straight to your inbox.
