Still Sundays.
There is fair weather, great weather, and then weather I simply categorize as Wrath of the Universe.
New York City’s weather yesterday was some Wrath of the Universe.
The weather in New York City feels like a curse from the Universe right now. Did winter come late this year?
I know my mother is right and I am not supposed to take it personally. It is just winter. It doesn’t have a personal vendetta against me. It will pass like all the years before. But I do take it personally. In my vocabulary the word cold doesn’t suffice…only wrath of the universe makes sense. I know there are ... read more »

I ate a lot of Internet this weekend. I justified it because I ate healthy and kosher. The meat of the articles was halal. Fresh sources, great nutritional articles, lots of juice for thought. And I usually don’t eat meat: I had not browsed through any of my feeds or online journals in over a week. As is often with most things that happen to me, I had tapped in to the momentum exactly at the right time.
The right place, the right time, the wrong me.
I gathered that social media is going through some mid-life crisis. I thought Internet was only a baby. Don’t you first have to grow up, live ... read more »

Love like my parents. Love like yoga.
I like when I re-read something that I wrote and I find it is still accurate and applicable at large. A favorite t-shirt that never gets old. This brings me immense joy and surprise. Somehow it makes me feel I caught the hand of Time and danced to a short tune barely audible. I don’t feel this way towards most of my fiction attempts. Not yet anyway. I am deaf and Time mute when it comes to fiction. Then I am humbled: authors who passed the test of Time were indeed some gods.

The super bowl of social media and creativity.
I woke up thinking about Wednesday this morning. As if Wednesday was a person I knew.
This last Wednesday was a chaotic morning and no amount of breathing was going to lift me out of the mushroom of frenzy.
Usually calm and steady, on Wednesday morning I was agitated and hyper sensitive to noise. I always try to see what is the longest amount of time I can go without plugging into music with my headphones. This time even music didn’t help. People rushing to some grand nowhere. I joined them to head to one of the most dilapidated parts of New York City. ... read more »

Stillness bypassed my Sunday morning like a breeze you don’t notice because you are out of breath. Except I was in deep sleep breathing. I woke up long after stillness had closed its canteen. Although I realize Stillness is everywhere and available anytime and it is up to us to reach into the hive and retrieve any amount of nectar, certain moments feel like a red carpet walk to the doorway of Stillness. Sunday mornings are such a walk. After noon the zone is narrow even if you are a devout Stillness practioner.
I gave myself permission to sleep in and allow the body to recover. Everything about the status quo seems ... read more »
