Lost At Sea

I feel lost in the current movement on racial equity. It has triggered a deeper reflection on the influence of culture on identity.

The Richness Of Race

The richness of race, beyond my own, has continued to shape me in profound ways.

The Empty Spaces

My empty spaces are filled with information, possibly the most valuable information and definitely the most relevant information that I have

Like A Sponge

The company that we keep, the content that we consume, the contemplations that we explore, all shape our values.

A New Declaration

In the pursuit of individual independence, we have run away from one another, and perhaps even run away from ourselves.

The Fourth Crisis

A fourth crisis is beginning to emerge, a result of the cumulative intensity from the health, economic and social crises.

The Unexpected Failure Of Facebook

Just when we thought Facebook might have been turning a corner, it is clear now that this is one dog that does not want to learn new tricks.

100 Days Of Clarity

What I have learned about myself after 100 days in lockdown

The Truth About Productivity

Less Is More

Evidence of our evolution from ‘More Is More’ to ‘Less Is More’ is in every direction I look, outwards and inwards.

The Search For Unconditional Balance

This is a stressful time and I had previously made balance conditional on the issues facing our world be resolved.

The Many Layers Of Our Identity

We are more than what we do, where we are, how we appear and how we play.

The Art Of Crying

I cry all the time now. While our culture has trained us to associate crying with weakness, I feel that crying is a sign of strength.

The Desire To Be Productive

My mind has been conditioned to always desire to be productive, I have become curious to uncover why.

Making Difficult Decisions

The past few weeks have been filled with many difficult decisions. The next few weeks will be filled with countless more.

The Two Valleys

Both valleys began with falling, deep into darkness, and both involved lifting up, to new heights that were outside my previous realm.

Hope For The Future Of Humanity

In the face of crisis, there is clarity. Choices that we previously feared are now easy.
