Greetings beautiful readers. It’s me. A couple of posts ago I introduced you to my new buddy, Rocky the squirrel. Rocky is not today’s topic but he’s the inspiration for it. BTW, (s)he’s just fine, came for a visit today, and asked me to say hi to you. I noticed that (s)he seems a bit… Continue reading Learning…(A LOT) – from My “Brainless” Teachers

My Regrets Have The Power To Shrink Me, Or To Grow Me. It’s My Choice.
Hi again beautiful reader. It’s so good to be back with you. I believe that one of the main reasons that reflecting on our mortality too often makes us uncomfortable (unnecessarily in my view) has to do not with the fear of death itself, but just as much, with our regrets, and with diminishing time… Continue reading My Regrets Have The Power To Shrink Me, Or To Grow Me. It’s My Choice.
IN EXCHANGE FOR A BETTER FUTURE, I HEREBY RENOUNCE MY WISH FOR A BETTER PAST.
Hello dear Reader, Some time ago I ran into a woman of whom I’m a huge fan, who has been a very important teacher for me, and who I hadn’t seen in quite a while. She asked me “So Michael, how’re you doing? What’s up? I answered, “All the important stuff is fine. But I’ve… Continue reading IN EXCHANGE FOR A BETTER FUTURE, I HEREBY RENOUNCE MY WISH FOR A BETTER PAST.
SCARY?? REALLY?? SAY’S WHO??
“I am lying in my bed five flights up… and here and there on my blanket, lost feelings out of my childhood lie and are like new. All the lost fears are here again: “The fear that a small woolen thread sticking out of the hem of my blanket may be hard, hard and sharp… Continue reading SCARY?? REALLY?? SAY’S WHO??
AHA!!!
Sweet reader, I know, I know. It’s been a really long time. I’d like to talk about that first. When I first started posting this blog, I got some advice from a friend, the essence of which was: “If you want to get a lot of followers, you have to post very often – as… Continue reading AHA!!!

You’re KIDDING, right?? Unlike the other guy, click on this link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/21/geraldo-rivera-shirtless-photo_n_3631053.html and of whom I am not a fan) – who is fancied by some, and by himself as a journalist, but here self-depicted as Narcissus 2013 – I believe that whether or not 70 is indeed “the new 50” has to do… Continue reading THE NEW 50??SERIOUSLY??!!
Who ARE These Guys??!!
WHO ARE THESE GUYS??!! Dear Reader, Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. No “excuse” really. It’s not as though I haven’t been thinking about things (too much probably), but I reckon I’ve been in that place where, because I don’t know whether anyone actually reads this stuff, I figured: “why post your thoughts? It’s… Continue reading Who ARE These Guys??!!
On Letting Go…
“Real happiness doesn’t come from getting things. Real happiness comes from letting go”. (Pam Weiss) A year or two ago I was attending one of the regular Wednesday night SF Insight group classes led by Pam Weiss, my coaching – (and important spiritual) teacher. Have I ever mentioned in any of my posts that most… Continue reading On Letting Go…
Happy? Who…ME??
What is “happy” exactly? How will we ever know we have it, unless we understand what it means for us – for each one of us? What is the point of all this struggle, if, when we have it, we don’t even recognize it? Is this it? Is it something more? Is it something else?… Continue reading Happy? Who…ME??
Just Google It Already!
Last week, when leaving the SF Fine Arts Museum at the Legion of Honor, I passed yet again beneath this statue of Rodin’s “Thinker”. We all know this guy, forever thinking. He’s iconic, right? Only this time, I had this thought: What if Rodin had Google? Would this statue even exist? Would he have had… Continue reading Just Google It Already!
