Living in the shadow… no more.
(This post is prompted by the indignation felt and experienced by conscious people facing the present dynamics around human rights on social media. We know who we are.) There has been times when turning into clandestinity was the only solution for those who were prosecuted for their ideals and actions to establish a fairer […]
The modern yogi
Merging ancient and modern technologies. I love this picture. There are more of me actually teaching my last class as a trainee at Karam Kriya School, dynamically demonstrating forward bends and loudly vibrating Sat nam. However none is as peculiar as this one, where I’m not sitting up straight with hands in prayer position but […]
There is only thing more important than Truth…
There is a white wall I look at every day where I should write this in big letters. We are all doing our best. We’ve developed certain values and we imagine a world where these are prioritised. Not seldom we identify where things are going pear-shaped, when the freedom of choice, of speech, of […]
New year resolutions? Where are they?
Fall is a gorgeous season. After the swim in the waters of new ideas, original projects, new collaborations, is it time to layer myself under the nourishing soil and harnessing the energy received from the fruits of my work and love, seizing the inspiration that will come from the longing I know I will feel […]
What is to be a woman?
Woman. Female. Feminine. Have these concepts ever been discussed more than nowadays? What do they mean? What is to be one but not the other? What is to be all and more? Identity is paramount. Whatever we identify with, it must be honoured, so we feel respected, accepted and included in the community. Identity discerns […]
The beauty of unrealised dreams.
“On the track, I must stop. I take a look. Long, tall, different, expanded. What is around me? The beauty of the landscape I so very well know and I fall in love with as if for the first time, every time. Or as if for the last time. I shall not […]
“in friendship or in love…” Kahlil Gibran
Sounds basic, doesn’t it? But I still remember the time when several of my relationships would not be based on “freedom to be” but rather “expectations to do”. Even if these friendships started with the excitement of the encounter, they soon would develop in dynamics of Co-dependency, of unmet needs and consequently disappointment. If it […]
The beauty of the things we miss…
Excited with the amazing sea on the side of our drive, the sun, the heat, the wind and the music, I tried to take a photo to record the moment. Most of my trials were out of focus, missing the line of water, the vegetation, finger blurred, … and then there was this shot! The […]
Are you ever at ‘home’?
There is this moment when I turn my body towards him, my chest touches his, the arm lands on his rib cage, my hand around his neck and fingers touching his ear lobe, my leg bends on top of his, my head fits with his collar bone and my face… rests. I am home. […]
Practice to unveil.
Waking up takes practice, literally. Whether through yoga, sadhana of cold showers, lighting incense and water the plants, or greeting the city from a concrete roof top, first thing in the morning is a good way to start. These are the occasions when I listen and feel what’s going on in my body, what is […]
