yes! 2006 is coming

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF US!
Imagine, we’re going into a New Year. Do we want it to be an extraordinary New Year? A different New Year? Let’s decide to focus on the things we want, and give up worry, doubt, negativity, and fear. The other way doesn’t work, I’ve tried it; just about [...]

lester levenson, a story

Because it’s December, and December is quite unlike any other month, I’m choosing one good thing to focus on just to keep a sense of balance. Love happens to be one of those good things. It makes our hearts sing. I’m choosing more love for our world.
This past summer after meeting my daughter, Sumi, for [...]

at the airport

I like airports. There’s an aliveness, an expectation at airports. What a long list it would be if all the reasons were counted for people to be at an airport at any given time. There are many emotions at airports. The list of that count would also be very long.
