We have such a craving for super powers or ESP or anything paranormal. There are lots of science fiction movies and tv shows out there and shows that claim to be ‘reality’ about these things. I personally enjoyed “Men Who Stare At Goats”. However I think some of this stems from our own personal, physical…
We are taught that Spring is the time of massive creative change. Everything is procreating and growing and blooming and budding. The light is returning, life awakens and everything is full of hope and new beginnings. But Fall is also a time of massive, radical change. Everything that we have been and done over this…
If you were a deity, which one would you be and why? Would you be one because of their specific X-men type powers and what you could do with them, seemingly without consequences? Would you choose one because you want more of what they represent in your life? Would you be Nordic, Native American, or…
“But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.” J. R. R. Tolkien The Silmarillion

It’s difficult to wait for what you want. We’re taught that with enough money you can get anything you want right now. No why pay attention to anything for any length of time? And more is better, right? Well all of that applies to commodities or things, but the world is not just commodities and…
It’s always surprising to me that with all the physical limitations there are are in the world, geography, time, resources, that what hampers us most often is the limits we have in our own minds. How often have you heard someone grip about not being able to do something or get something and when you…
There is no way we can actually know the reasons why someone does something, unless they tell us. And even then they may not be able to fully verbalize why they are doing something. Usually we assume they are doing it because they want to for one reason or another. Because they need the money,…
