How does one add value to another life? Is it only through being with them physically? But then I can be physically with the person but add no emotional or intellectual value to their living.... For me the greatest value we add to another living is being available to them when they seek you... Being Present to their concerns... A keen observer Willing to bring to notice that which we cannot confront, that we just dont want to state... A wise reflector Willingly ready to share and make meaning of the Reality that we exist in... Listening and providing the listening for our true self to show up...

I feel like the the blip on the Heart and Lung Machine. That cliched visual we see so often in any of our classic tamil or hindi movies. blip blip blank................. Yet so many things are happening with me... A new job. (I am still wondering if I am at the right place!) new ideas on what kids can be involved in new found energy, as I manage home and work new skills to be learnt as I tackle the excel sheet Yet a sense of meaningless pervades this new sense of meaning that I have created for myself. humans think too much, analyse too much, dwell too much, expect too much, yet what else makes interesting living?! we all find our Zen in something. for some it is in books and reading for some in music and listening....or singing for some it is in being with....it could be hu...
