Suffering
In my last posts, I’ve talked a great deal about finding peace and calm within the tempests of life. However, I’ve failed to mention suffering and its utility. Life cannot always be calm, happy, and smooth. If we seek that sort of life, we may get it. But we’ll discover that it’s a muted form […]
Mi Niño
Déjate jugar. Déjate soñar. Sé salvaje, No cargues equipaje. Un fenómeno eres. Hijo del cosmos eres. Nada te rige. Nada te contiene. El mundo te necesita, como eres ahorita.

But after another frustrating night of failure, I finally understood something. I see that I am far […]
How to Live your Best Life
I’ve always been obsessed with figuring out how to live in a way that makes me ‘feel’ the best. It isn’t necessarily about achievement, or maximizing potential, but what I imagine the ‘best’ life to be is one where I feel peaceful, happy, healthy, full of purpose and free. How can I achieve this? There […]
