Reduced to its base, whenever you are overwhelmed by any emotion you lose all reason, you lose all sensitivity, you lose your heart in it. – OSHO Overwhelm is as real as it is made up. There is a physiological response – the heart rate, the breath, the tension… Yet there can often be no...

“No Junk Mail” We’ve had this on mail boxes for a long time. If I’m dropping off unwanted flyers, I might see a “no junk mail” sign. If I’m then considerate enough to not drop my flyer there,  it seems I know deep down my content here is considered “junk?” If I know this is...
