“I see no imperfections.”

June 23, 2017 by Micah Lapidus

Today, while zigzagging across Atlanta, I had a chance to listen to another episode of Jack Kornfield’s “Heart Wisdom” podcast. Again, I found something there that resonated. Jack told an old story about a time when his friend, Ram Dass, was experiencing intense doubt. In that moment, Ram Dass’s teacher quietly circled him, looking at […]

How might we?

June 22, 2017 by Micah Lapidus

How might we be a little kinder? A little more compassionate? A little more present? A little more accepting? A little more curious? A little more open-minded? A little more engaged? A little more receptive? A little more appreciative? A little more humble? A little more aware? A little more uncertain? A little more flexible? […]

June 1, 2017 by Micah Lapidus

  I took this picture on a recent visit to Tel Aviv. The stenciled words above the face are what compelled me. They read, “Ein lanu koach, rak shirim.” As a musician I’m intrigued by the message. Sometimes things are lost in translation and street art in Israel is often laden with specific cultural resonances. But […]

Life Lessons, 5/8/17

May 8, 2017 by Micah Lapidus

Occasionally my preferred vehicle for reflection is something I call, “Life Lessons.” It’s nearly impossible to draw a straight line from any of these life lessons to something that I actually experienced today. That’s because straight lines represent the shortest distance between two points.   So, in no particular order: Sometimes word choice really does […]
