Conversations with the Heartmind
“Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.” ― Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness Are you happier than you were yesterday? The phrase, “happier than yesterday,” speaks to the core of my own philosophy. This is what I strive for every day, in life, in art […]
Read More“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt It’s a funny way to title a post, I’ll admit. But it sums up the method by which we all experience life. We “experience” experiences. And […]
Read More“One clear moment, one of trance One missed step, one perfect dance One missed shot, one and only chance Life is all…but one fleeting glance.” ― Sanober Khan Life has a precious timing. This inner mechanism often lies sleeping, woven into the fabric of being, beating alongside the heart. But it has a pulse […]
Read More“There is always something to lose. But maybe more to gain.” ― John Christopher, Beyond the Burning Lands Decisions, decisions, decisions… Decision dwells deep.
