Someone was
telling me recently that some of Buddhist temples in Japan are guarded
by two fierce-looking demon-like figures. These guardians of ‘Truth’
are known as ‘Paradox’ and ‘Confusion’. These days, paradox and
confusion seem to be states I alternate between in my quest to discover
who I am and what future I want to create. If I’m not confused, then
I’m trying to embrace something that defies intuition. My ‘truth’ seems
elusive.[ Read More]

It’s
so easy to get ‘comfortable’ with the circumstances of our lives—even
when they are uncomfortable or when we can see that they may very
likely lead to discomfort. It’s almost natural, sometimes even
expected, that we complain about what’s ‘not right’ or ‘not perfect’ in
our lives. But complaining (to ourselves or others) doesn’t change
anything and we’re left ‘adapting’ ourselves to living with whatever is
contributing to our discomfort. [ Read More]

behind if I were to die tomorrow. This type of ‘leave behind’
document—like diaries, journals, books, letters and photo albums—are

also have innumerable opportunities to record our lives and thoughts
online to share with friends and family. So why bother going to the
trouble of preparing an ethical will in addition to a legal will?[ Read More]

By Shae Hadden | Bio I'm intrigued by the popularity of online life expectancy
calculators. Like reading tea leaves, tarot cards or astrological
charts, many people seem to be fascinated with the idea of predicting
their future. This compulsion to 'know how much time we have' is
closely tied with a desire to re-engineer our lives to reduce or
eliminate aging altogether. As if each of us has an expiry date that we
can scan so we can know when we'll be used up! The concept of
'life expectancy' is based on statistical projections, which are based
on past history. When you think about it, the whole idea is based on
the premise that the past is an accurate predictor of the future. [ Read More]
