We find ourselves at the beginning of yet another year enlivened with a variety of vows and disciplines that we swear we will adhere to. We do pretty darned well for a couple of weeks.

In a society obsessed with love, finding Mr. Right or Ms.Right is at the forefront of most people’s minds.

Spring is here. You’re three months into your New Year’s resolutions, one of them being to start meditating.

“It has been said that it’s the space between the bars that holds the tiger. And it’s the silence between the notes that makes the music. It is out of the silence, or “the gap,” or that space between our thoughts, that everything is created—including our own bliss.”

I went to an art gallery today and I was so moved by many of the pieces I viewed. These artists were truly divinely inspired to create such incredible works. They were in the moment, creating what they were feeling, seeing, thinking— however they were being moved.

In this current age of constant usage of multi media tools simultaneously: phones, computers, iPads, and T.V., plus work, plus family, multitasking has become a way of life for Western society. Slowing down and smelling the roses has become a sentiment of the past.

In the current chaos we find our world in, more and more people are seeking a more peaceful existence. Or at least to somehow extricate oneself from the external madness, and to dive into a more serene (hopefully) internal world.

I recently read a comment on Facebook that said, “You just love until you and the beloved become one.” This comment got me thinking. There is a Jewish mantra, Ani L’Dodi,v’Dodi Li — that translates to “I am My Beloved’s, and My Beloved is Mine."

You’ve heard this before. Peace is every step. Peace is in your heart. Peace is your true nature. Why don’t you feel it?

I believe that we all long to be deeply understood, greatly appreciated, and unconditionally loved by another. The level to which this will occur will be to the depth that we have extended it to ourselves.

Tell me your prayer and I’ll tell you who you are. Our prayers tell us a lot about ourselves. What state of mind we’re in, what we’re feeling, what we’re lacking, who and what we love and care for, what we’re grateful for.

I challenge you to Feel the magic in the mundane, See the extraordinary in the ordinary, Experience the profound in the profane.
