"Our Life is the Spelling of an Answer" - Abraham Joshua Heschel

This site is called "Maitri Quest" after the Tibetan Buddhist concept of
"maitri,"known as "loving kindness" or "unconditional friendliness,"
which is an idea I adore the sound of, but sometimes find challenging
to put into play. Perhaps you can relate to this?
I have no absolute answers, my thoughts and advice in my articles and
meanderings on my blog evolve from my own journey. But I have found
that by using the idea of Maitri, and also another Buddhist concept of a
"Beginner's Mind" the following has happened:
-my life travels in the most rich, interesting, and rewarding ways.
-My networking skills and creative thinking flow easily and naturally,
and I am often surprised by the marvelous ways things blossom.
-When I can apply it (and again it's a moment by moment choice) there
has been a radical shift in how I view and deal with myself and others in
marvelous ways.
I hope you will enjoy what you read here - the "blog" is the section that
used to be the front page. My dating and romantic relationship writing
can now be found at "Dating Like Grownups" which I hope you'll enoy
as well!
Thank you so much for stopping by.
