The Buddha taught that we suffer when we cling to or resist experience; when we want life different than it is. As the saying goes: “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.” When painful sensations arise, if we meet them with clarity and presence, we can see that pain is just pain. When we are […]
Love is always the answer hidden beneath the obvious of life, hidden in all things, all people, including us, and all places. Love is always present, always effortless, and ignored, mostly by us. Love is not getting something in return because love returns itself to itself. Love is in all things and is all things. […]
Judging a BIG deal… Why such a BIG deal? Because we do it all day long, from the moment we wake-up. We don’t recognize it as judgments, but they are. We judge the clothes we are going to put on, we start noticing our thoughts with judgments. We judge the kind of day we MIGHT […]

Think about the dream we are living; we are everything and nothing neatly held within the physical container we call bodies. Life here on earth is the biggest masquerade party. We come in all shapes, sizes, expressions, etc. These containers we jumped into have earthly expiration dates that are unbeknown or known to us; who […]
We love to get attention; after all, that is what we have been taught the day we embodied in this world. Whether it’s good or not so good, we crave to be noticed, accepted, and loved. We act out, we dress in a certain way. We are concerned with our appearances. We behave a particular way […]
