Old Age is Boring part 1: Another Country, A Different Game

September 01, 2010 By: Sherry Ruth Anderson

My grandparents Max and Lena Antenson, and me, 1958.

Today is the first day of winter, with a pale sun barely seeping through the damp air. I’m sitting stubbornly on the back deck wrapped in my heaviest sweater, trying to write about what it is like to be … I don’t know how to say this. A woman growing old? A woman aging? Or forget the woman part, what is it like just to be getting old now. We’re all so relatively healthy, we have so many more resources and solutions than our parents and grandparents did, and so many more expectations for ourselves. Read more »

Swimming in Love

August 30, 2010 By: Allison Stillman

Every summer, I am graced with the privilege of taking a group of lucky folks to the Bahamas for an annual retreat called Swimming in Love. The annual pilgrimage started out with the marriage to my beloved, and has grown into a spiritual retreat and immersion into love. We both had spent years leading wild dolphin swims, he in the Caribbean and me in Hawaii. When we came together we decided that when we took our marriage vows, we wanted it to happen during a week of swimming with wild dolphins. Read more »

Medicine = Perspective

I first heard the call of the plant kingdom about three years ago. A late summer drive back up to my western Massachusetts college town from NYC had me smelling and feeling things I was not accustomed to. “I think the trees have something to say to me this autumn,” I divulged to my friend. I had no idea that I was about to embark on a journey that would awaken me to the wonder of all flora, large and small. I hadn’t a clue about the medicine that existed all around me. Read more »

Boundaries, Self-Esteem and Magic!

August 25, 2010 By: Janna Chin

Boundaries are the invisible lines that separate you from me. Boundaries are limits we set for ourselves to keep us emotionally, physically, and spiritually safe. Sad to say, but many people don’t know anything about boundaries because it’s not something learned in school and is rarely talked about in social circles. Prestigious universities and higher institutions of learning don’t teach boundaries as a subject, yet it’s an essential component to health and success. Read more »

Seeing Clearly: Attachments and the Thing in the Test Tube

August 23, 2010 By: Michael E. Crowley

“Attachment is a residue of pleasant experience.  Aversion is a residue of suffering.” – Patanjali, The Yoga-Sutra.

I have the broken off tip of a number 2 pencil in a test tube on my desk.  It’s 7.5 mm long and for the last 21 years it’s been buried under the skin of my left forearm.  I had it brought to the light of day on the 20th anniversary of the death of the person who put it there, my younger brother Patrick.

Fairy Land by E.R. Frampton

As she showers her love over me, her strawberry blond hair blows in the late night wind. The fairy seems to glow with beauty. Her baby face is only ever seen with a smile on it. Her name is one spoken with only love and gratitude. Her name is Lyeda, though most call her Queen. Read more »

Deep Listening: Coming Home to our Essential Nature

August 18, 2010 By: Matsya Siosal

When I make a decision, especially whenever I set an intention for a habit I want to lose or cultivate, the turning point of actually making the choice is similar to waking up fully refreshed on a crisp, sunny day. Where I am and where I’m heading are crystal clear. Arriving at this new dawn might be the culmination of a gradual sneaking suspicion that something just wasn’t right, or the sum product of several significant experiences added together over time. Or it may come like a clap of thunder in an instant revelation – literally waking me up to a new day with a whole new perspective. Read more »
