A friend shared this with me today and I thought that I’d pass it along. It’s a reading taken from Ekanth Easwaran‘s book, Words To Live By…it’s his take on the ancient Arab Proverb of the Three Gate Keepers and is pretty powerful (I think)…if only I could remember this every time my often sarcasticContinue reading “The Power of Words”

>The Plank Of Gratefulness
>Sometimes I forget…I told myself I wouldn’t, but sometimes I do. Often it takes a little tug or a small “pang” to remind me. And sometimes when I’m pushing the Mundo up this plank I remember. Sometimes it stops me in my tracks…literally. What I’m talking about is being able to move nearly pain-free. I’veContinue reading “>The Plank Of Gratefulness”

>Deepak Chopra Interview
>This is an interview with Deepak Chopra (conducted by Dennis Wholey) regarding his book Life After Death. While the book does have a somewhat ominous title, it is more about life than it is about death…so is the interview. Mr. Chopra is very well spoken and inspirational and it is definitely worth the 26 minutesContinue reading “>Deepak Chopra Interview”

>Mystical Candle
>I took this short video about a year ago and forgot about it. Then tonight while looking for something else on my hard-drive I came across it again and thought I’d share it. I was writing one night and had a candle and incense burning (yes, I burn candles and incense sometimes) and the heatContinue reading “>Mystical Candle”

>Living Simply and Simply Living
>The act of living simply in an urban environment is trying at times to say the least. There are so many distractions. Like faith, it takes work. I find that reading what others have to say inspires me. As the author of this book points out, living simply does not necessarily mean that you haveContinue reading “>Living Simply and Simply Living”

>It’s tiny and it’s beautiful…and I realize I was a little anticipatory by plucking it from its plant so early…I was just so surprised when I looked down and saw it hanging there. I grew it from seed…amazing. It’s the first actual vegetable (opposed to an herb) I plucked from the garden this year, exceptContinue reading “>Virgin Pepper”

>Urban Beauty
>This morning I woke feeling extremely stressed about various things. I know deep down everything always seems to work out OK, but when I’m stressed it’s as if I have blinders on and can’t see the beauty right in front of me. For that reason, when I went to the gym I chose to walkContinue reading “>Urban Beauty”

>Complicated Life
>I love this video. It’s a great leisurely bicycle video…more importantly, the music is excellent. It was filmed on Decatur Street before hurricane Katrina. If you’ve ever been to N.O. you’ll probably agree that it captures that city’s essence. The video is a little over five minutes long; I encourage you to watch it, itContinue reading “>Complicated Life”
