LOL. A week or two ago I reached out to the Outlook team at Microsoft via Twitter and let them know how much I hated the stupid message that said ‘you’re done for the day’ everytime I reach Inbox Zero (which is several times a day). Lo and behold the message is now changed…
I had one ‘Microsoft wish’ and I blew it on that… :-D

Today is the the 146th anniversary of Hermann Hesse’s birth. Is he still relevant today? I believe he is for a number of reasons. His novels and stories explore themes that are still relevant, such as:
The search for meaning and purpose in life
The conflict between the individual and society
The nature of good and evil
The importance of personal growth and development
The relationship between the material and spiritual worlds
Hesse’s writing is also characterized by its lyrical beauty and its insights into the human condition. His novels are often read as coming-of-age stories, but they also offer wisdom and guidance to readers of all ages.
In addition, Hesse’s work has been praised for its relevance to the modern world. His novels often deal with issues such as alienation, isolation, and the loss of traditional values. These are all issues that we still face today, and Hesse’s work can help us to understand and cope with them.
Here are some specific examples of why Hesse’s work is relevant today:
The search for meaning and purpose in life. Hesse’s novels often feature characters who are searching for meaning and purpose in their lives. This is a question that many people still ask themselves today, and Hesse’s work can offer insights into the search for meaning.
The conflict between the individual and society. Hesse’s novels often explore the conflict between the individual and society. This is a conflict that is still relevant today, as we see people struggling to find their place in a world that is often seen as being hostile to individuality.
The nature of good and evil. Hesse’s novels often explore the nature of good and evil. This is a question that has been asked by philosophers and theologians for centuries, and Hesse’s work offers a unique perspective on this age-old question.
The importance of personal growth and development. Hesse’s novels often emphasize the importance of personal growth and development. This is a message that is still relevant today, as we see people seeking to improve themselves and become the best versions of themselves.
The relationship between the material and spiritual worlds. Hesse’s novels often explore the relationship between the material and spiritual worlds. This is a question that has been asked by mystics and religious leaders for centuries, and Hesse’s work offers a unique perspective on this complex issue.
His novels are often read as coming-of-age stories, but they also offer wisdom and guidance to readers of all ages. If you are looking for a writer who can help you to understand yourself and the world around you, then Hermann Hesse may be a good place to start.

My friend RJ is always good for an epiphany or two every time we talk. Yesterday he introduced me to Edith Eva Eger, author of The Choice. She says:
I am Dr. Edith Eva Eger. Since my childhood days in Hungary, friends and family have called meEdie. We lived a ‘normal life’, a happy life, uneventful in its quiet bliss. Then it was slowly, yet suddenly, all taken away, altering the course of my life forever.

Hear her talk about her choice…
Now that you’ve been introduced to Edith, how will you respond?
Tara Brach writes “while we might not directly love what is, there is a pathway to this inner freedom. As we explore in this meditation, we begin with allowing the changing sensations and emotions to move through us, just as they are. As this allowing presence deepens, it becomes suffused with the tenderness of love”…
In this choiceless, never ending flow of life There is an infinite array of choices One alone brings happiness To love what is.
Bright, shiny objects!
