The other night I was out with a dear friend for the 100th anniversary of the Martha Graham Dance Company performance, where I crossed paths with a few other folks I’ve known, as one does after living in the same city for over thirty years, including my old friend Richard Parsakian, proprietor of the infamousContinue reading “#15 – Love Your Community”

#14 – Love Everything
I celebrate three new years: the Gregorian, the lunar, and my birth one. This book started being written years ago (on this platform) so it spans some time, and of course, many new years. With all these new years to observe I can sometimes get turned around with where I am in the course ofContinue reading “#14 – Love Everything”
#14 – Love Your Community
A friend recently shared with a group that I’m a part of that today is “Blue Monday”, something I’d never heard of (and rightfully so, as it got its start in the UK, where my friend is from and I am not!) but have been thinking about since yesterday when I learned of it. WhenContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Community”
#14 – Love the Unknown
This morning I was reviewing my photo library and came across an image for the rules for being human (according to some ancient Sanskrit and that also seem to vary from nine to twelve rules, not surprised there’s a variation on this🥴) and I’m sharing them here, all twelve rather than nine because who doesn’tContinue reading “#14 – Love the Unknown”
#14 – Love Your Self
If only we could do everything…where would we be? What would we be? I look around most days and wonder if where we are as a result of everything we’ve done is merely a result of everything we have become. I think you can appreciate the sentiment behind this statement AND the sheer frustrating realityContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Self”
#14 – Love What’s Fun
The queries I’ve tasked various AI tools available to me over these last few years have mainly been so that I can have another “perspective” to consider when attempting academic/philosophical work as well as creative endeavors; both of which have yielded predictably mixed results, as you too have likely experienced if you’ve been curious toContinue reading “#14 – Love What’s Fun”
#14 – Love The Earth
Over the years I’ve completed a few educational pursuits in Earthly related topics like organic agriculture and “master” naturalist/gardener, partly because of my curiosity and love for all the beautiful and mysterious aspects of our world and partly because of the duty I feel to lessen my footprint during my time here. I LOVE thisContinue reading “#14 – Love The Earth”
#14 – Love Your Work
Last year on September 9th, I approached my local labyrinth and as is often the case I stood at its entrance and considered if there were things that I wanted to bring to the walking meditation before me and found all the swirling thoughts to simply be too much to sort through, so I justContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Work”
#13 – Love Your Community
Being a citizen of the world can often mean that we spend as much time outside of our homes as we do inside. It can also mean that we can go through periods of our lives not having or perhaps even wanting a home. With a home, whether renting or owning, comes even more responsibility…toContinue reading “#13 – Love Your Community”
#13 – Love the Unknown
Throughout my life I’ve been gifted with the presence of at least a dozen or so cats. Never have any of them been given so many additional names…which is telling, for me, given I’ve never cherished these three beings as much as any of the previous pets that have moved in and out of myContinue reading “#13 – Love the Unknown”
