Wanderings & Ponderings
Many of us are searching these days. No matter our age, background, or beliefs, we just want to be happy! How can we do this in a constantly-connected yet lonely-and-divided world, where depression and anxiety are at an all-time high and where our planet is bearing the brunt of our humanity? My life, writing, art, and adventures are all an exploration of this question. So far, I’ve found it all starts with inner peace and outer connection. Simple, but definitely not easy. I hope you enjoy the tips, tools, and ideas I’m learning along the way. I’d love to hear some of yours!
Freedom from Our Stories
Human stories can launch liberty, link generations, and kindle love. But many fuel resentments and perpetuate conflict. And that’s why I think we need freedom from our ingrained narratives. As we celebrate 4th of July, how about sifting through our tales – personal and global – and releasing the ones that keep us locked in. That’s real independence!
Freedom Is Blowin’ in the Wind
Socrates and Bob Dylan are orbiting through my brain cells this Memorial Day. They both ponder the power of questions, and, like the beautiful stars and stripes dancing in the breeze at ceremonies this weekend, perhaps the answers really are “blowin’ in the wind.” Regardless of our differences, our flag remains a symbol of freedom, of spirit, of hope for all of us.
