I landed …

We are each a mirror for all the beauty and chaos encompassed deep within our hearts.  We are each shining examples of our one flawed, shared humanity.  When we notice a particular attitude exhibited in the people around us …

Family comes to you or you travel to them. There are late night parties filled with tasty, tasty munchies and lots of opportunities to revel in wine-soaked smiles. That’s all a good thing, and, I’d argue, just another dimension of your practice. Tantric …

We see what we expect to see, people reflect back to us our histories, habits, and ways of being.
