Today’s meditation took a very dark turn. The subject was of death. I was asked why I was afraid to die. My response was that I was not ready to die yet. I felt that I had not prepared my soul correctly for death at this time. I am working on preparing my soul. I…

Today was an interesting day. It started out on my morning commute. As I was driving past a field, I saw a coyote in front of me. He ran off a little ways as I approached him. Stopped and looked back at me for several seconds before darting into the nearby woods. I couldn’t help…

What do I want? This question seems simple but can actually be quite perplexing. What do I want? I want to have all my bills paid. I want to have a nicer home. I want to eat all organic foods and enjoy the tastier selections in the stores. You get the point. The problem with…

The concept of “Go with the Flow” emphasizes flexibility while maintaining self-identity. It suggests adapting to changes at work, like grass bending with the wind, but not losing oneself in the process.
