Welcome

This blog includes reflections, creative work and resources. It is a glimpse of one person's journey within the realm of inquiry, experience with the human body and spirit. Look for ideas rather than answers. No claims are made. Perfection is not implied. I write as inspired to do so. Take what works for you, leave the rest.

Current Study With My Inquiry Partner: Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle's Power Of Now is the work I'm engaged with alongside my inquiry partner.  I've read and listened to the audio version of this book many, many times.  What's new is that drawing is included when approaching each chapter. It's mere sketching and coloring but it feels as though the creative action is constructive, helpful.

Searching For Sugar Man

If you haven't seen the documentary Searching For Sugar Man, do so!  And resist the urge to read anything about the story prior to viewing the film.  That said, I wish to share a quote from the tail-end of the film:

What he's demonstrated very clearly is that you have a choice.  He took all that torment, all that agony, all that confusion and pain, and he transformed it into something beautiful.  He's like a silk worm, you know. You take this raw material and you transform it.  And you come out with something that wasn't there before.  Something beautiful.  Something perhaps transcendent.  Something perhaps eternal. Insofar as he does that, I think he's representative of the human spirit, of what's possible.  That you have a choice.  "And this has been my choice, to give you Sugar Man."  Now have you done that?  Ask yourself.
