I thought therapy was bad
I was trained with nazar in mind: the unnamed, yet present idea that the world is not colluding in your favor. Rather the opposite. That people are out to get you, you are alone and even your friends will be jealous of anything you have and envious when they can’t have it themselves. We didn’t […]

Don’t hide
When you hide one part of yourself, other parts disappear too. Some Examples I am a stoic -presenting person. Much of the feedback I get is related to how calm I am under pressure. In other words, I put my emotional reactions away. That also means experiencing my emotions fully is not as easy or […]

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -Jiddu Krishnamurti “We live a double life, civilized in scientific and technical matters, wild and primitive in the things of the soul. That we are no longer conscious of being primitive, makes our tamed kind of wildness all the more […]

Scribbles: Community
These hours are the last of 2021 and the first of 2022. I am heading to bed with excitement after observing this transition with 4 people who are dear to me. We COVID tested in advance and exercised precaution. I’m astounded with who we are: a Black physician, a French computer engineer/aspiring astronaut, a Multi-Hyphenated […]

With all of that, New York has found itself an epicenter once again—- 10% test positive rate and +54,000 people testing positive […]

In the challenges we navigate, aim to remember that we are navigating them. You may be physically alone in that moment or in that conversation, […]

Our Strength is Our Weakness
The American ability to look forward and seek is unmatched. It’s a peace with the past, maybe even a complicit lack of recognition/ownership of it. That quality makes a powerhouse. Is it possible it keeps America away from Justice too? In a post civil war America, many who participated in activities that actively improsoned other […]

Death doesn’t go away
Last year we lost somebody close to us. What we’ve found helpful is thinking about the here-after. Not specifically tied to a religious belief, but a certain knowledge that when people exit physically, spiritually there is still something happening. It’s not over. Just this chapter is over. That helps us cope. It also reminds us […]

2021: Surrender & Understand
2020 broke my heart–over & over again. I’m grateful for its blessings and challenges. Anytime I felt like I had an edge on it, I found myself drowning. Constant fear, paranoia and concern reigned my life. Life moves quickly and those fleeting moments are there for us to dance–living our authentic truth. I am unable […]
