In yesterdays’ Sharing Group questions around love came up – universal love, romantic love, lust? This is a great video on the nature of romantic love. Helen Fisher, PhD, Biological Anthropologist has conducted extensive research and written five books on the evolution and future of human sex, love, marriage, gender differences in the brain and how your personality type shapes who you are and who you love.

I feel moved and touched. What an inspiration. This woman is so uplifting, and alive. Beautiful. To me this seems all it needs: a wide open heart for what is.

Looking at what’s been happening in the world the past weeks I came to see once again the insignificance and yet the preciousness of a single life, including mine.
It’s such an easy thing to feel touched by what I read in the newspapers, then make a donation, write a few emails to friends encouraging them to do so too, and yet turn away without really taking it in – all the way.
I have spent hours watching, reading and researching about the Haiti earthquake. Then, I came across this article from Katie Couric “The Human Face of Haitian Tragedy” on the Huffington Post. Read more »
I recently attended a one-day vision summit in Berlin on the subject of microfinance, social business, and social entrepreneurship.
I am not a banker, an economist or a businesswoman but I have an interest in these topics, as it seems that in this realm of activity exciting solutions are emerging that address, with intelligence, some of the world’s thorniest problems; poverty, pollution, inequality, environmental degredation etc. People such as Mohammad Yunus (who spoke at the conference) are re-envisioning the reality in which we live and acting on that vision. Big ambitious aims such as eradicating poverty are gradually being realised in a quiet, practical manner, one bit at a time. This is where idealism and realism meet. Read more »
“The only conductor to ever lead the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Zander is a prophet of human potential and an unrivaled champion of joie de vivre. Watch as he helps unlock the boundless potential of a 15 year old cellist and teaches the entire audience what it means to live in a world of possibility.”
I love this inspiring talk. Zander is radiating and alive, simply wonderful! Just finished watching it with my 13 year old son who is learning to play the bass guitar. He was touched, and I watched him swinging with the music.
My old folks move me a lot these days. Just a few weeks ago they came to stay with us for some ten days, and I loved it like never before. Since I moved into another country something major has shifted in me around them. Perhaps the distance was needed to see with more clarity what was here all the time.
Right now I have a slow-burning ember of presence glowing in my heart. It speaks. Or it simply is. And what it is is undeniable. It is the truth of each and every moment. It is ever-present, always available, now. It has all the right answers. It says “yes” or does not respond. It is quietly not allowing me to deny what is so clearly and evidently true in each and every moment. It is reliable. It does not suggest. It simply is. It is the harmony of all that is. Anything moving outside of harmonious flow is experienced as discord. It is simple. “Yes” is glorious, harmonious energy. I am surrendered.
Last night we had another beautiful sharing group. I wanted to write and acknowledge this amazing meeting that happens every week. We have been meeting every week for nearly eight years now. Each week there is a different set of people. Some have been coming for a while, others drop in from time to time and usually there is a new face or two. Anyone can come. It is open to whoever expresses interest and it’s free.
