  • Learning to Lean

    Namaste Jagged Little Pill album on blast. Alanis is screaming at me through Forgiven in this moment. I’m nose deep in my blog archives and some of these experiences require spirits in a shot glass, but I’m settling for alternative rock. Come on down memory lane with me, again, if you remember reading this one.…

  • Trip, Trip

    Namaste Was on my way out… Called my usual taxi driver and he answered saying he was in the hospital due to a lung infection. Curious. This is a guy who is proud of his e-cigars. Did he get the infection from one, or did he get the infection from whatever he was weaning himself…

  • Sea Bath

    Namaste Last week while I was visiting two of my client at a Home, my Muslim friend, who also resides there, called out to me saying that he would like to have massages done also. I told him that he had to advise his son who will then permit me to do so. We have…

  • Blooming Bosom

    Namaste I am back on the job with my Muslim friend.  Treatments were aborted because he was not satisfied with the pace at which he was recovering.  We often forget, or prefer not to appreciate, that the roots of our physical issues are not fundamentally physical and that healing has to take place at that other…

  • Tobago Lime

    Namaste First things first.  Clarification.  I was asked if my last blog was directly referring to a certain person.  No.  As I would have said some time before, whatever I write is my internal dialogue; reflections and projections that we are processing; that we being us – me, myself, and I.  It is never directed…
