  • The Kernel

    Namaste In my recent browsing of the web I found a humorous article written about two years ago.   In it a writer with whom I have a curious relationship – I admire him without necessarily looking up to him – was criticized for writing columns that have ‘no coherent, developed thought on anything.’  I must…

  • Androgynous

    Namaste It is politically incorrect to have a dog and bark, so given that I have helpers, I don’t iron my clothes, that role is delegated to my children. I was preparing for work recently and opened the wardrobe to take out a top to wear. There are two sets hanging there: the ones to…

  • Coming from work…

    Namaste Coming from work… The driver advised me to be careful when crossing the road. She said she is always fearful for pedestrians in Trinidad. If there is an accident, there is great possibility of a fatality. She said she has travelled wide and far internationally and still feels that fear when she is home.…

    Namaste I am on vacation (don’t ask where), but I’m still doing massages at my discretion…as if it was any other way. It was after 8pm when someone called to find out if I do massage and ting and I was in no mood to ask him to clarify what he meant, nor to explain what…

  • 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…

  • Massage as an act of Kindness

    Namaste I was gently advised, regarding my remark about Jesus being my Teacher, that Jesus is not merely a Teacher, but that He is the Son of God. Yes, I heard that before. Someone sought to give us a picture of God by stating that He knows what’s beyond the heavens and the earths (yes,…

  • Beneficial Baby Massage

    Massage is a nurturing activity that allows us to continuously send conscious and subconscious messages to the receiver of our love for them, of our desire for them to feel better, etc. For example, when you are feeling down in the dumps and someone hugs you, you immediately feel better. The hug feels like a…
