Thought of the Day

Posted on February 2, 2009March 11, 2022 by romanagiulia

I twittered the following thought and realised that perhaps it might be too cryptic and I need to elaborate on it: it’s no longer about having more, getting more; it’s about changing the original “program.” Innovation, yes; innovation to sell more? No The it’s here is referred to the American Dream. I speak often to my students about this,…

February Meditation

Posted on February 1, 2009March 11, 2022 by romanagiulia

“What unites us all as human beings is an urge for happiness, which at heart is a yearning for union, for overcoming our feelings of separateness. We want to feel our identity with something larger than our small selves. We long to be one with our own lives and with each other. If we look…

Light a candle. Say a prayer. Do some yoga. Chant. Read a poem. Give to charity. Sing out loud. Help a friend. Offer advice without ulterior motives. Give of yourself. Do one act of random kindness. We should do this every day, but especially today in honor of those who passed seven years ago. Namaste.

Fray!

Posted on July 12, 2008March 11, 2022 by romanagiulia

As part of my summer of writing, I want to encourage you all to take a look at, and possibly subscribe to, Fray. This is Derek Powazek’s latest endeavor; some of you may know him from JPG Magazine and that whole unfortunate debacle. As with all creative things, Fray is quite dear to my heart (or at the very least my Swadhisthana,…

The Craft of Writing

Posted on July 10, 2008March 11, 2022 by romanagiulia

You would think that after almost a week’s worth of classes on writing, I would have a rather large collection here. Well, not so fast, I would reply. Believe it or not, the craft of writing takes time and patience (qualities that are not my forte). There will be some stories that will make it…

Random Memory

Posted on July 4, 2008March 11, 2022 by romanagiulia

Funny what little insignificant things will trigger a memory…one that isn’t particularly significant, yet perhaps a staple of my growing up in a very unique (? maybe?) environment.

July Meditation

Posted on July 1, 2008March 11, 2022 by romanagiulia
