Rainbow Aura

One crisp afternoon Rumi was walking alone with her red book and newly acquired gold coin in tow.  The red book, her trusty companion, never left her side.  It had been with her as long as she could remember and although the edges were becoming more and more frayed, Rumi wouldn’t think of ever replacing […]

Two Gold Coins, One Dry Well

Rumi was sitting on her favorite bench high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean.  She would sit and watch the waves below crash against the shore.  The sound of the crashing waves became almost like a meditation for her.  Whenever she sat alone, invariably someone would always come and join her.  It was her […]

Quietude: A Prologue

ॐ Many thought Rumi quite simple; in reality, her silence spoke of a wisdom that few understood.  She came into this world a stranger, and she left as a stranger.  It was rumored that she remained in silence for more than five years before eventually ending her fast on the spoken word.  When she finally […]

The Mango Tree

Santino liked to contemplate the mysteries of the Universe, and there was one question he could never quite answer:  What happens when we die?  The question troubled him and if he were being honest, it troubled him greatly.  He considered death all the time. One day a woman saw Santino meditating under a mango tree.  […]

Isa’s Stance

There once was a great king named Cyrus.  Cyrus had unbridled power in his kingdom, and no one thought or attempted to cross him.  His power was absolute, and he wielded that power with impunity; he was known as “the humiliator of his enemies.”; he was feared yet respected far and wide. Cyrus had one […]

Mike’s Away

My big brother, Michael Ahearn, died at age 56.  My nieces, Shelby and Nicki, asked me if I would write his obituary.  This is the second time I have been asked to write the obituary of one of my siblings at the much too early age of 56.  My oldest sister, Lori, died at age […]

Gabriella’s Tree

There once was a mythical tree called “The Maestro” that stood tall in the rainforests above Orotina in Costa Rica.  The legend goes that on only the rarest of occasions this special tree would speak to someone making their way through the rainforest.  One day, a girl named Gabriella decided she would enter the rainforest […]

Rio Machuca

There is a mystical river that runs through the rainforest above San Mateo in Costa Rica; a spiritual portal that whispers to those that are silent long enough to hear her call.  To say that this river is enchanting is an understatement which is a malfeasance to her deific beauty.  The river is called Rio […]

The Tico Way

The Howler Monkeys growl—it’s a low guttural roar that makes it feel like there is a beast in the jungle just waiting to pounce on the next unsuspecting, innocent person that makes their way into the trees and shrubs that dot the lush land.  This is Costa Rica.  The mornings start early here; 5 am […]

Yes & Yoga, Season 2!

Sat Nam from Costa Rica.  Adi and I are excited to announce the premiere of Season 2 of Yes & Yoga on Amazon Prime Video!  The last 18 months have been transformational in ways that we could have never expected.  We wanted to update everyone on what’s transpired during this time. It took us a […]
