A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be.

My mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general; if you become a monk, you’ll end up as the pope.’ Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.

So many things going on - so few opportunities to pour it out of my thought bucket! And...pause while I find my weblogging alter ego... ok... and shall I give it a name? Nah! All the more to remember.. and ultimately forget.
The biggest and most popular question I get is, 'How's everything going?' Like loaded questions? Well, between family, opening the cultural center, and self I would have to say the short answer is my life is FULL. The real question is whether or not it is balanced... is it satifying. For me, with yoga, it is easy to feel empowered and keep things in perspective lately. When I conitnue my practice in yoga and journey with self I am able to let some of the lesser important things slide without feeling the stress and guilt and pressure. Of which these days, in our busy world here in Naperville, there is a lot of.
The second biggest question I seem to get is, 'what is the Naperville Cultural all about?' Seems like a little bit of a silly question.... doesn't it? I think it is such a question in people's minds is because it was privately opened and run. So maybe the real question might be really like what is MY intention for the Cultural Center... That's easy... Because my intention is for this to be a Open, Welcoming, and Beautiful place that eventually will fully represent all the holistic and earthly riches that bloom from our humanity. Lush, encompassing, and real...
Peace and Love! Always...
