A friend of mine graduated end of last year. She is no longer fresh out of school and this is not her first degree either. In fact she has quite a bit of work experience. She received an offer from a practice that was very keen to employ her yet the salary they offered was in line with what they would have offered any new...

No matter how we argue, life centers around ourselves. It kind of makes sense as our own paradigm is the only one we can relate to. We interpret the outside world and events in terms of this paradigm. Although this is perfectly valid it is not necessarily useful as most of the world is not concerned with us directly. At the office or home we...

Oh its so easy to write for myself. My closet diary extends over volumes and volumes. I have to. Thats why. By the time I undertake to write elsewhere I always put it off somehow. I was reflecting tonight that I am scarcely through my previous inside adventure - which was uncomfortable to say the least - and the next has already started. Going where?...

Its been such a long time since I have written anything that it is apt to continue where I stopped nearly 9 months ago. Although life is often uncomfortable I find it utterly amazing. It always takes a bit of perspective gainedby looking back - back at the trail you followed to get where you are now. The last blog I wrote was titled New...

Its all strange to me. I had a long flight, I'm tired,
I'm away from my family, the place smells strange, it is noisy .. please pick me up again!

Now and then life gives us a break and we end up on a little island. You know those idilic ones with a palm tree and a cool breeze. A little stopover. A while to bask in the sun and reflect a little. To allow you to have one of those deep sighs that releases all remnants of stress in you. When you get to...

and sometimes these islands are not just physical islands but islands we build inside our soul to reinvigorate ourselves :)

@np33di those are most certainly necessary ..
I eventually fetched my dog from the vet again today. After being in and out since Friday. Spent several nights there. Had an MRI this morning. At least he is back again and kind of perky. When things go wrong with me I get upset, sometimes angry, sometimes depressed, sometimes demotivated. But it is me. I can kind of handle it. Not so easy when...

Last week for the first time in 16 months I could suddenly one day - driving my car - imagine myself on a bike again. Thursday evening I decided what I wanted - that was easy - I really knew what and by today I fetched it. In peak traffic, a little dry mouthed, the late afternoon sun burning on me in my brand new

Most of us on this web site come from a western heritage (I'm not excluding an eastern or other heritage - I simply don't know enough about it. You know - for a western heritage I only need to look deep inside myself..). A western heritage implies many things but what is relevant to my thoughts now is our philosophic heritage that started around late...

@stelara Thanks for the recommendation - I'll most certainly have a look. Anything in particular you'd recommend to start with?

check youtube, there are lost of good talks ●▽●
So often we don't understand why we seem to be caught in the same patterns of life. Either not getting what we really need (love, caring, respect, sex, wealth) or getting what we really don't want (abuse, infidility, loss). It literally seems to be imprinted in the pattern or blueprint of our lives and as though it is completely impossible to change. As though we...

@sheashannara yes we all can change it is just such a frustrating process sometimes. Trying to understand the little hints, finding the perspective that is so obvious to others looking at our lives.
sheashannara:
It reminds me of that old expression: Physician, heal thyself. It's very easy to diagnose problems in others, much more difficult to admit to them in ourselves
This time round I did not watch a movie. Rather myself. Another post explored the concept of the world that has been at least from time to time a cold, hard and empty place. Technology as a culture came up more than once. And yes that is exactly where we live today. A large part of our interaction with other human beings is via technology....

I sometimes and sometimes more often than just sometimes get a little frustrated with life. No manual. Correct. Nothing. Nobody to ask. It is as though you have to prod, guess around the corner, infer, employ intuition, your friend's insight and perspective and of course on occasion the exact angle with which your dog looks at you. All in an effort to find what bugs...
