“We are Stardust; We are Golden”
“Some of you who are of the Woodstock generation may remember these words: We are stardust; we are golden, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden…” as sung by the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The composer of the lyrics is Joni Mitchell. If you want the soft version of the song, go with her, otherwise rock out with the band. Regardless, take in the truth of the words and know you are stardust; you are golden, and You Are getting yourself back to the garden.” To your Happiness, Kita
read moreLet It Unfold instead of Assuming
“In times of uncertainty and perceived danger, it is natural to want to defend yourself against what may arise. You – in your mind – look for ways to control the situation by identifying safety measures, following rules, keeping “away” from the source of concern both figuratively and literally. Ironically, what demands greater discipline than acting on a perceived threat, is allowing circumstances to unfold and reveal the truth of “what is going on” rather than assuming “the worst” as is often the propensity of human nature....
read moreYou Intend before You Do
“The focus on doing has overshadowed its preceding process – that of intending in order to initiate the doing. Doing something/anything is not materialized in a vacuum but spawned as a result of an inner motivation, drive or will. Whether insignificant or life-changing, every action has as its source the doer’s intention. Taking this further, if your intention is shaped by outer influences then your actions are not self-made but directed by those influences. Try to ensure that your intentions are pure and of you before you act on them. This...
read moreA Goddess of her Generation
“The words have been rolling around in my head since the early morning hours and now I am ready to write. My mother died yesterday (Friday) early afternoon after being taken to hospital at 11 am due to respiratory distress. Her health had been failing – we had just been in the same hospital for an iron infusion on the Wednesday. When I visited her on Thursday, my heart broke seeing her so weak and frail. Fortunately, I was able to be with her in the last moments of her life. She was 95 years old, and though the term is not associated with her...

“Had a dream about riding a horse through a lush forest. Once stopped and having dismounted, we looked at each other intently – face-to-face. His eyes, so full of love and kindness, took my breath away. If he could speak, he would have… The feeling of this encounter will be with me forever like a burning ember reminding and imploring me that all sentient beings are of the Divine. Let 2022 be a year of immense love for you – a love that can be found in all living creatures great and small.” To your Happiness, Kita
read moreBe and Beam
“A challenge to just be and not just do at this time, a time which inevitably amps up the need to get things done during the holiday season. Inaction seems impossible where being is a state longed for but unattainable. Strive for it regardless for being allows you to beam – to encapsulate the “I am” – and lighten up yourself and others by your mere presence. “Beam” conjures up “Scotty, beam us up,” but it also evokes that shining light you can BE this magical season.” To your Happiness, Kita...
read more“Piece of your Mind”
“There’s a tendency to want to give someone “a piece of your mind” especially when that someone is angering you, making you boil over because of their upsetting behaviour. Easy to do in these times when differences of opinion loom large everywhere you turn. Such an encounter generates imbalance. In fact, you are left agitated, needing the next few minutes to settle down and regain your centre. Instead of striking out, try locating “peace of mind” next time, and see where this non-action will take you. Amazing that the same sounding word can...
read moreThe Questions You Ask
“The questions you ask may never be answered. If thinking literally, this might bother you a lot. Such thinking wants answers in order to solve, to categorize, diffuse, calm down, convince yourself that everything is in order and will unfold the way it always has, giving you the security you desire. If thinking “out of the box”, unanswered questions will simply be that: answered. With no need to solve and expect a stabilizing familiarity, the vast unknown will be your adventurous friend.” To your Happiness, Kita
read moreFeel the Signs Around You
“You bump into a neighbour you rarely see, and in the encounter there is an openness, a willingness to share which leaves you feeling a loving kindness as you both continue on your way. The song on the radio evokes a beautiful memory in you; your heart fills up with gratitude for the pleasure of having experienced this time in your life. A wok on order arrives at exactly the moment you need it to prepare the specialty dish for guests coming to dinner. Fumbling in your coat pocket, you find the ring you thought you’d lost. A sigh of relief...

“An outdoor plant that typically thrives in the summer months and then finishes its high season, was brought indoors. Why not see what happens? This is what has transpired: Believe that all things are possible. To your Happiness, Kita
