360 Degrees of Mindful Living

Existentially Rich

By Pavel G. Somov, Ph.D.

On the edge of the Grand Existential Canyon we sit, minds dangling over the cliff,

Burning* millions upon millions of our cellular bodies, daily, like endless money,

Feeling grand as ever, as if we were rich (and we are (we just don’t know it yet (but we will (eventually)))).

*metabolism is a slow cellular fire

Pavel Somov, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist and the author of "Eating the Moment" (New Harbinger, 2008), "Present Perfect" (NH, 2010), "The Lotus Effect" (NH, 2010), "Smoke Break" (in press, 2011), and "Reinventing the Meal" (in press, 2012). He is in private practice in Pittsburgh, PA.
