It has become increasingly difficult to tell the difference between a naturally and a humanly created diamond these days. Both can be breathtakingly beautiful. Both can sparkle and shine and dazzle and both can even have value. The difference between the two is the story of their creation. The humanly created diamond is created for … Continue reading DIE MEND
LOST
Sometimes it becomes so very clear that we have lost our way by trying so very hard to find it. We build and build to protect and to guide and to manage and to enlighten and to make wiser and to draw closer and at the same time we limit and confine and diminish and … Continue reading LOST
BE WITH
We have become all so professional. But sometimes I wonder if we have not become all too much so. Sometimes, maybe, all we need to receive, to give, is the gift of presence. Not offering any process towards resolution. Not offering any guidance, assurances, roads to reconciliations, healings or even hope. Just presence in the … Continue reading BE WITH

AND THE GARDEN STILL GROWS
How the world can change in the blink of an eye. A trajectory of fulfilment and hope, stability and security suddenly crashed by words and actions of others and all that is left is ruin. No winner. Just numbness and questioning. And as I sit and hold the pieces of a shattered goal (yet another) … Continue reading AND THE GARDEN STILL GROWS
SHUTTING DOORS
I have aged and life has aged me. I am tired and I am a little more weathered. I have lost much of my edge. And I have found underneath it all, after all the years, a sense of value that gives me the strength to shut and open doors. I no longer will allow … Continue reading SHUTTING DOORS
