“On the other hand, all those doubts which I had felt before I entered the cottage as to whether these creatures were friend of foe, and whether Ransom were a pioneer or a dupe, had for the moment vanished. My fear was now of another kind. I felt sure that he creature was what we …

Clean Respect
“I never meet a ragged boy in the street without feeling I may owe him a salute, for I know not what possibilities may be buttoned up under his coat.” - James A. Garfield When you refrain from judging others you find that they come to you wearing the judgments they've accumulated over the years. …
Another Way
What is it about human beings and their insatiable desire to compete, compare and judge? One of my professional goals is to create a space free of these limiting and obfuscating elements as I am confident that something wonderful will eventually emerge.

Mind over Matter
"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." - Mark Twain Can you imagine a world free of relatives? I certainly can. A carefree world in which people do not judge or criticize themselves based on relativistic notions that have little to nothing to do with their true, …
Fair and Right
The notion that the right thing to do is always fair or that fairness is always right is utterly false. Right and fair occasionally align, but assuming that they do in all cases is an incredibly limiting perspective. The idea that anything right must also be fair is one of the many unfortunate by-products of …
Causa Causam
"For me, one of the major reasons to move beyond just the planting of trees was that I have tendency to look at the causes of a problem. We often preoccupy ourselves with the symptoms, whereas if we went to the root cause of the problems, we would be able to overcome the problems once …
