Is nutrient rich for the mind

On Mischaracterizing a loving dad

If they want to model you as a bad dad, they will be lying to themselves and they will be victims of their own lies. 

On being grandparents

"You will not be dependent on what we show up as."

Recipe for success

Derek works seven days a week. 

He is successful. 

Evident

The things that are going to go right for people and the things that are not going to go right for people are very evident.

Water

Such a deep affectation when I see water. Almost primordial. It has to be primordial.

Poetry

Poetry has been my absolute refuge

Real

To say that anything is ultimately real is itself a kind of obscurity, not clarity.

Somewhere else

You are of the earth, but you also belong to somewhere else. 

You are your mother and father, but you are also your own. 

You come from somewhere else. 

Somewhere else of the universes 

Somewhere else of the galaxies and stars 

Somewhere else of the  vastness 

Somewhere else of the atman.

Somewhere else is you. 

You are somewhere else 

Early

Don't be on time. Be early. 

Not clicks

Journalistic integrity is not about clicks 

DeMello

"Now keep looking at this unpleasant situation or person until you realize that it isn't they that are causing the negative emotions. They are just going their way, being themselves, doing their thing whether right or wrong, good or bad. It is your computer that, thanks to your programming, insists on your reacting with negative emotions. You will see this better if you realize that someone with a different programming when faced with this same situation or person or event would react quite calmly, even happily. Don't stop till you have grasped this truth: The only reason why you too are not reacting calmly and happily is your computer that is stubbornly insisting that reality be reshaped to conform to its programming. Observe all of this from the outside so to speak and see the marvelous change that comes about in you." 
​— The Way to Love by Anthony De Mello

One

I may not be one with man,

Not two, not three, not even four

But I am one with God. 

-

And one with nature

Nature is home to me
