Most bad behavior is caused by pain. Realizing that makes it easier to deal with ‘difficult’ people.

“Ultimately, what really matters is a courageous spirit and a generous heart.”

My new website is finally (almost) completely functional. Still a few things to fix - the store, some articles, the newsletter archives… But it’s getting there. The creative process is - a process. Three steps forward, two sideways, five back, two to the right. Frustrating and exhilarating at the same time. Who knew the DNS […]
The way I see it, Cactus is the most resilient plant in the desert. If you find yourself stuck out on the desert and you can get past the thorns, its fruit will save your life. The same goes for us human critters. If we can get past the thorns of our own life, what we find in our core will save us and sustain us.
