  • Summary

  • "I am unlocking the doors to my inner peace by having the courage to ask why.

    Every question is a step closer to understanding and harmony within myself." ~Jerry

    I've recently crossed the milestone of 70, and the reflection that comes with it has made me realize that I haven't always been the best steward of my time, especially in the past decade and a half. In my pursuit of proving how bright, inventive and resourceful I could be, I often found myself running too fast, burning the candle from both ends, and in the process, losing sight of the joy of the moment or any joy for that matter.

    I've come to understand a very fundamental truth – it's not about hoarding time, stretching it thin, or being miserly with it. It's about living and fully appreciating every moment for what it is. Living each moment free from yesterday’s pain and regret, and devoid of tomorrow’s worries and anticipation has become my passion and mission.

    Mindfulness has been instrumental in this journey. It's allowed me to remain present in the moment, to find tranquility in the chaos, and most importantly, to appreciate 'now'. And from a practical viewpoint I also find I get more done, its better work and I more at peace with the results and myself.

    Now, while I'm no poet, I find a peculiar peace in paring down my thoughts to their bare essence and expressing them rather raw and unadorned. It helps me shed the unnecessary, getting to the core of what I truly am thinking. Sometimes these bits make sense to others and sometimes not. You may see bits in a smattering of my poetry during our visits.

    Through this podcast, I, and I hope you, will embark on a journey of self-improvement and understanding, aiming to savor each day, and find peace each hour, and hopefully, each singular moment in its purest form. We will delve into the world of mindfulness, explore its nuances, and I will invite you to join me in meditation during each episode.

    So, I invite you, dear listener, to join me on this journey. Expect reflections, shared experiences, moments of silence, laughter, tears, and hopefully, the occasional bit wisdom. Here's to the joy of now. No yesterdays, no tomorrows, only now. Only now.
