Imagination, Make Believe, and Inner Discovery

October 26, 2012

As Halloween approaches and we can’t help observing, and maybe participating in, dress-up and pretend play, I am thinking again about the importance of imagination, and in particular how much children can remind us about expanding our capacities to know in non-linear ways. Children are impressive in their ability to easily and fluidly abandon so-called rational thought and immerse themselves with freedom and delight into imaginary worlds.  In the process of such play they are naturally accessing their intuition and accomplishing important developmental tasks. My four-year-old granddaughter … [Read more...]

Indiana Jones, Winston Churchill, Coincidence and Synchronicity

April 27, 2012

Leo Rising, Hazel Conjunct: A Lesson in Being Present

November 30, 2010

In this season of thanksgiving, and holiday giving and receiving, I have been appreciating what a gift I have in the constellation of my life:  two very young grandchildren, Leo and Hazel.  Their unrestrained engagement with life reminds me, over and over again, what it means to be fully here, present in the moment. Each, in their unique ways, is completely occupied with their immediate experience and everyone and everything around them, in rich expression, moment by moment.  They are expert at simply BEING. Would that we each could rediscover the fullness of wonder in each moment.  And then … [Read more...]
