Dias de Mi Vida


Let yourself breathe and trust.
It is only by a courageous letting go
that the heart becomes free.
This is called the wisdom of insecurity.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run
than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure
or nothing.

Thirst, by Sage Cohen

We understand least

that you have not yet learned to tap.

So little sleep. So much still to do. Although I'm not complaining, per se. :)

I had an amazing salad today at my friend's restaurant, Riva Cucina. It was an incredibly simple, but perfectly dressed composition of radicchio and crispy chickpeas. I got to catch up with an old friend and colleague I hadn't seen in about 6 or 7 years. Amazing how time flies, and yet how little some things change. Thank goodness for old friends.

Last night I went to this super luxo wine/champagne tasting e... read more

Paiate Stone, by Sage Cohen

let this moment be enough
ownership cannot survive

its illusions
beyond the fence

dividing wrong from right
shines the simple stone

of gratitude
the ripening of the earth

the mind grown
quiet with time

Yup, There Were Incentives

August 9, 2007

She is fierce and giving, vulnerable and resilient. Easily wields the power to launch a thousand ships, with her at the helm of each. Through many incarnations, Sarah remains a straightforward girl with endless sophistication.

My perfect foil. Never yet foiled.
