There is a book from the Tamil culture, called The Kural, revered and sacred, that is often compared as an equal to the Tao Te Ching, but is very little known in the Western world. Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma is the author, translator, poet, who has brought this work to life in the English language that is being celebrated by so many.
Full disclosure that Thomas is a client of mine, and I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of this work, the Kural, for many months.
Thomas has been doing a series of what he calls “Kural conversations” that focus on verses of the Kural. I was honored and touched that Thomas invited me into one, to discuss the chapter on Knowing Strength.
You can find our conversation here. And… can I encourage you to get the book? Yes, yes I can. Please get the book. It’s beautiful, profound, touching, and it works in that mysterious way that ancient sacred texts work, functioning as a guide, as a friend and an advisor in all the beautiful ways.
In fact, you might want to consider buying two copies. Keep one for yourself, and give one to someone you cherish.
I also encourage you to follow Thomas. He’s a treasure of a man, and his work is moving.

The webinar yesterday.
If you missed the webinar I did yesterday: Spiritual Truths about Resistance, you can still get it. And the recording might actually be something you listen to/watch because it’s only 30 minutes, and the heart of it, the teaching and the exercise, are even shorter than that. I’m contemplating doing a series of these kind of short webinars, and after yesterday, I’m pretty convinced it will be fun.
With love,
