The Return to Love
February 14, the day officially designated for love, will soon be upon us. I facetiously like to say that February should be designated the “month of love” and as the shortest month of the year, it should not be too taxing for us to focus on love for 27 or 28 days out of the year. […]
Honoring Our Mothers
To honour our mother is to honour life itself. We are all born of a woman who nurtures us in her body and births us forth into this life. This physical and biological reality of literally being part of another human being, our mother, is our primary life experience from conception onwards. No matter how good […]

Time Enough for Love? Cultivating Self-Love Year-Round

While this holiday spotlights romantic love—quite commercially, in many cases—love itself transcends mere romance. As philosopher-poet Khalil Gibran famously taught, love is a […]
