Freedom: The Ultimate Goal Jul 11, 2025

I wanted to take the opportunity to go through what I call an archaeology of freedom: meaning, I want to lay out a first approach and then introduce further layers to go deeper each time into our assumptions about freedom.

The Cornerstone of Forgiveness: An Authentic Apology Jul 04, 2025

I'd like to share a quote by David Whyte: “To forgive is to assume a larger identity than the person who was first hurt. To mature and bring to fruition an identity that can put its arm not only around the afflicted one within, but also around the memories seared within us by the original blow. And ...

Forgiveness and Free Will Jun 27, 2025

Forgiveness is letting go of wishing that the past was any different than it was. 

If we are able to let go of the expectation we had of that person, of that situation, that's where forgiveness lies. But if we can't, if we just want the past to be different, we'll be stuck in it. 

Of course, that’...

WANDER by Murray Hidary Jun 16, 2025

There is a time
to rise with the sun,
to put your hand to the wind
and walk where the path dissolves
into the unknown.

There is a time
when the soul throws off its coat,
steps out into the cold morning
without knowing where it goes —
only that it must go.

A time when the body aches 
with the weight of ques...

What gets in the way of forgiveness?

"Everything Happens for a Reason"... Or Does It? Jun 06, 2025

As we continue this conversation around forgiveness it’s important to take a step back and see the big picture, not just focus on the individual moment where things went sideways.

Why Do We Need Forgiveness? May 30, 2025

We live in a relational world. The only way we can actually experience love is through relation: relation with other people, relation with nature. We operate in relation. Constantly.

That is the nature of the human experience! So by our very nature, we're going to have situations where we bump into...

GRACE by Murray Hidary May 23, 2025

What is Grace?
Where do you find Grace? 

Is it an effortlessness? 
Is it the ballet dancer?
A gently swaying willow in the afternoon wind?
A soaring soprano. 
a mother comforting her child.  

Maybe it is all of these and yet, 
it’s more, isn’t it? 

Maybe Grace is found in 
the way we love,
the way we li...
