Secrets
I just lived the worst ten years of my life
Oversharing is a funny concept. What does it really mean? What constitutes the words one should share or keep to themselves? Is it fear of embarrassment due to inevitably being judged? You’re going to be judged anyway, no matter how much you keep to yourself. Someone, somewhere, will always have an opinion about your life.

A Memorable Street Proposal
I am Madan. Today, I am getting married with a girl of my life. I am happy but I don't know what wrong with me today. Have I broken any promise? Is anything left behind? I was eagerly waiting for this big day for the last three years. She is the only one I have desired in the last five years. But...

Tornadoes
At my job we get a lot of mail that has been rejected. We send it on, but sometimes it just keeps getting sent back. Sometimes when it goes undelivered for more than a few years, we read it. It is a perverted habit, perhaps, but not without its rewards. In any case this letter was worth the while. It contained a large script of tightly folded paper of a quality I had never seen, and a small pink flower, crushed as if by a boot. Written on the envelope in brown ink were the words:

Actual Privilege
I lived in Florida in 2007. Improbable for my age and socioeconomic status, I lived in an oceanfront condo, rented from a nice gentleman with a severe drug addiction. He used to be a surfer and a lifeguard, but he broke his back in an accident. He lost a lot of his mobility (and I suspect a large sense of his identity) from the injury, and half of his mind to the opiates his doctor prescribed. Being in his presence made my whole body heavy with sadness.

Confess or suffer..its always your choice
I'm not brave enough to confess some things that have happened in my life.. The consequences to me, is just not worth it. No matter what happens, some will say you are a hero, some will call you a no-good human being. while others will just call you crazy. I had an incident happen while married to my ex-husband.. well, a couple things that to this day I cannot divulge as much as I desire to tell anyone. I know that if i reveal what I know I saw with my own two eyes i would probably be in an institution or be under someone's watchful eye..destroying all and any credibility I ever had.. What about you? Have you ever been in a situation that no matter how remarkably terrifying it is, you knew that it would go with you to the grave?? Hey, that's what i will do... I will write it out in detail .. and pray that when i die, it will be found and the consequences of my confessions will be righteous and swift.

Coward
I wake up from a truly restless sleep. Away from my family. I stare up into the ceiling in the dark room and try to calm myself down. My heart is beating faster than normal and as I try to steady my breathing, I suddenly feel like throwing up when I think about the day ahead of me.

One Mistake That Ruins All Your Efforts On The Spiritual Path
We all want to know how to accelerate our spiritual growth. There are obviously some good principles to work with. Doing one’s best to remain present. Observing one’s thoughts and feelings. Remaining humble in front of life. Feeling grateful and accepting of whatever life shows us. And so on.
