What True Love Really Is
A love that pays attention is a love that is alive. Volo ut sis. I will that you are. I want you to be. I want every day for you. I want every moment for you. I love your mere existence in my world, in my life, as you are, as it be…
On The Importance of Delayed Gratification
Pleasure is central to our survival, but as we mature, we need to learn to tolerate the discomfort of delayed gratification, especially if we have a higher purpose or vision; or desire to build a long-lasting relationship based on true intimacy and loyalty…
Costly Signaling Theory + Relationship Accountability
The lack of relationship accountability is like a state of stable ambiguity; people give “just enough” not to feel alone but to get the reward of affection, and yet certainly not give “too much” to compromise because of fears and their unwillingness to commit…
Why Children Need Fairytales for Their Wellbeing
Tales speak a child’s language and allow them to feel their emotions in safe and healthy ways; tales nurture children’s imagination and develop their creative talents; and tales also allow us, as a family, to cultivate and nurture a loving space of connection and more closeness …
The Cultural Evolution of Fairytales: Their Importance for Social Issues, Wellbeing and Preserving Generations
“Perhaps we are born knowing the tales, for our grandmothers and all their ancestral kin continually run about in our blood repeating them endlessly, and the shock they give us when we first hear them is not of surprise but of recognition. Things long unknowingly known have suddenly been remembered…
What Rapunzel Knows
All human societies need to love and to be loved, and to connect with one another. This is how we can experience the full fierceness of human emotions, and only then, would we be able to understand the value of the sacred part of our life…
Weaving Life: Spindle, Shuttle and Needle
There is abundance of tales, lore and myth across many cultures, connecting spinning and weaving to the divine and to the threads of fate that lead us toward various destinations, and to each other. There is also the famous concept of The Web of Wyrd, which reminds us that it is our own actions every day that weave the yarn for the day after; a web marrying fate with destiny…
The Dandelion Girl: Love Transcends Time
“The day before yesterday I saw a rabbit, yesterday a deer, and today, you.” Love humbly begins from chance meetings, maturing into something meaningful when carefully nurtured and properly cultivated. Each day Julie sees something beautiful and substantial yet each following day is a deeper layer unfolding, beyond the veil of her eyes…
Love Letter: When The Worlds Kiss
Dear Miracle. Yes, you! The Christmas season is here and regardless of religion or spiritual belief, this is a sacred time when we celebrate the biggest miracle of all; the birth of a child, the birth of love. And we are all miracles. It is through our childlike eyes that we can see the purity and the divine in everything and everyone around us…
The Necessity of Limits, and Being Grateful for Them
“Our human and earthly limits, properly understood, are not confinements but rather inducements to fullness of relationship and meaning. Perhaps our most serious cultural loss in recent centuries is the knowledge that some things, though limited, are inexhaustible. If we always have a theoretically better substitute available from somebody or someplace else, we will never make the most of anything…
Tenderness
To keep us tender in this world is the hardest yet most important thing. Our tenderness is where our greatest strength is. When we follow its thread of water, it leads us gently to our core where despite hardships we remained resilient and unbreakable. In a way – our tenderness is our hardiness because no thing and no one was capable of destroying that part of us…
Love & Prayer
There is incredible power to this kind of devotion; of a deeply spiritual act that kneels us each and every time like nothing else ever could. Prayer is an intimate love song through which we enter into a relationship with the divine. Prayer is an offering of ourselves wholebodily and wholeheartedly. Prayer, despite its gentleness, is never afraid and in our hardest times, it gets its feet dirty holding us…
