Sometimes I wonder if I’m “normal”…too negative? Too..? something. I never questioned myself like this in the states and its not a bad thing. But its a thing. I have tremendous respect for expats. I never wanted to move abroad- I tend to get pretty contentedly immersed in my day to day. I was also…

Dear korbel Today i saw someone at a restaurant for the second time…just a random person. He looks similar to darcy’s dad…and he makes me sad, so i naturally felt sad seeing him last time and i must have sort of stared, which he must have picked up on because he stared back today I…

Hindsight is the most beautiful frame and perhaps the singlemost greatest key for me to remain present and I currently live on a different continent than my history, and history is the only road paved to today.

After class last night, I stayed after class to talk to my student. She was born in Germany, but her family is Turkish…so she considers herself turkish…and commented that the german culture can be a bit dry…and precise…no real zest or FUN. I was impressed of her use of the word zest. English is her…

I woke up from a dream this morning, the kind that I knew I was dreaming while having it. I have been recording and..I don’t like the word analyzing but more paying attention for the past 10 years. I believe Carl Jung to be one of the most ..profound teachers in my lifetime. I am…
