You have become too comfortable, dear one. Your entire life, your dreams, your hopes, and your magnificent expectations all reside within the width of a single breath. Take away the breath, and both you and they will vanish. You have hired great architects. You have consulted with great contractors to build your house. Just as […]

You have no problems. You have never really had them. But you created them out of thin air. You created them to support your existence. They are a scaffolding upon which rests the structure of your well-groomed life. You say that you want to get rid of your problems. But you would not dare do […]
