Rightfully relegated to a small place in the Universe

I was reading an article by a publication I admire, and they mentioned someone from my past. (Nearly thirty years ago) This person fits a typical stereotype — white male, seen as super successful by certain people who value success through the lens of monetary and fame accumulation, one who…

Bad anger good anger

The energy of maintaining bad anger is all-consuming. Something you do not realise until you let it go. If you can. Projected blind anger, anger that refuses to listen. Anger baked in superiority. Anger projected to such a degree that in its projection it masks the cesspit of pain inside. …

Little atrocities beget big atrocities

Yesterday in Australia, a man decorated as a war hero lost his defamation case against investigative journalism accusing him of horrendous war crimes.

Ask for the impossible

Ask. For help. For support. To be held. For feedback. Failure to ask is a form of rejection. People want to participate. To give. Be included. If you are that nervous about asking, give the person you are asking easy permission to say no to the asking. Ask for the impossible. Ask for a miracle. Keep asking. You’ll get better at it. Braver. Bolder. Invite the world to show up and give. And when they do, bring every ounce of your gratitude to the experience. Account for their gifting. Never ever take it for granted.

🦚Unleashing Your Entrepreneurial Art: The Beauty of Being Complete💪

What we really desire

Let’s speak of desire. Not the packaged form of desire that our culture reveres, which is more akin to addiction and superficial want. Not the desire of lust, which is a sign of the hollow shell of our emptiness. But desire, the deepest clearest wanting that lies below the grasping. To separate the reflexive…

Knowledge is a beautiful thing

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder. Ralph W. Sockman In a world of fear and scarcity, we forget the abundance of so much value. Knowledge can only increase. The more you have, the more there is to have. Love, beauty, joy, laughter — these…

Healthy polarity creates wisdom

Don’t become a well rounded person. Become a thoroughly spiky person, says Bruce Sterling. I might propose a middle ground. Choose the spiky areas that you want to cultivate. Total honesty is impossibly cruel. Total honestly says you will answer every question, no matter the harm is done. Yes, we are hiding…

Fear of age and breaking

This may be the first time in over 2000 of these Beauty of Beginnings blogs that I have featured myself in the sunrise. The conditions were just right to walk, fully clothed, out to the point of Snapper Rocks. From this place, surfers launch themselves into the ocean — taking…
