- The Trouble Is, You Think You Have Time
These words greeted me at the entrance of the Buddha Hall in the Deer Park Institute: It is a quote misattributed to the Buddha, but it was apparently written by Jack Kornfield, echoing something similar by Carlos Castaneda. In any case, does it matter who said it? The words point to the impermanence of all… Read more: The Trouble Is, You Think You Have Time - Stillness Speaks
This post is a natural successor to the previous one on The Power of (Almost) Now. This is one of my favourite books because it effortlessly does what it promises – puts me directly in touch with stillness within. The very first sutra gets to the heart straightaway: When you lose touch with inner stillness,… Read more: Stillness Speaks - Ho’oponopono: To Make Right
A couple of years ago, a while after my brother passed away, I came across this ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Four short phrases that restore balance and heal deeply, making things right: At first, I was skeptical and thought it was a bit trite. I was not sure it would do anything… Read more: Ho’oponopono: To Make Right - Let Me Go

Welcome to That Which Matters!
December 2024
Here we are again. Round Two.
Had taken this blog down last year. Doubt anyone but I noticed its absence! Not even the turtle!
At that time, I had thought the blog had served its purpose. But then, really, life had spun a wicked googly. Or two.

That Which Matters is back up now. It is time to start expressing once more.
The intent for TWM remains the same as when it originally started. This time around, I want to create more videos to go with the posts and try my hand at Insta Reels too.
Here is the first ball of the new innings – You Are the Happiness You Seek.
Play.
