Selfless souls make you weep. They’re so pure. Tonight Aunt Elvira said: “You are the apple of my heart and you always have been, because you bring so much joy and happiness from the other side of the world to us.” Who says the words “apple of my heart” today in this day and age?” She’s [...]

This sculpture spoke to me today. It’s called Satan’s Defeat and I don’t know who the artist is. It made me think of the Middle East and the need for peace. If “satan” is hatred in the world, then a defeat of hatred can only occur when Peace rises like a rose above it. As [...]

Timeless, classic, poetic and prophetic, literary words still being fulfilled centuries later–are the words of the prophet Joel. Here he is on the art of [spiritual] bike riding. Fierce–see bold bit below.  Joel 2: 1 Blow the trumpet in Zion;        sound the alarm on my holy hill.        Let all who live in the land [...]

It must be war time in the U.K when the Crown Prince and his bride to be–are so prominent in magazine headlines in the U.S. The normally private couple are the center of U.K attention in the name of love and romance. Cute. There could never be a wedding like Diana‘s though, as this headline [...]

Although she may give chiffon a bad name, Lady Gaga‘s heart is in the right place. Here she is attending her little sister’s graduation day at the Convent of The Sacred Heart School, in Upper East Side NYC. Her little sister, should be so proud. A good effort. I am totally loving this picture today. [...]

When someone you love is dying so many things don’t even seem important. In that moment, one person becomes your most profoundest teacher. Their sweetness is like snow falling on cedars. Everything they say means something memorable, life-giving and important. In Maori culture we call such conversations–the “ohaki.” Life is about entrances and exits. Memories of life, [...]

What a fascinating revelation. You [...]

Having studied American celebrity intensely over the past year, like observing trends, traits like an art and a science, I have to say that the most exciting aspects of American culture (pop culture, politics–you name it), are when two opposites, actually meet in the center. This meeting point is otherwise known as a cross. For [...]

Lady Gaga’s Alejandro video has dropped. A little bit cliche, but she’s just getting started and will evolve her own style. I still can’t believe this girl is the 2nd most famous American after President Barack Obama. But she is. This is America today. She owes so much to Madonna.  As she throws in some Dietrich too.
