So, yesterday, I was thinking about how difficult it is at times to accept one’s current life – mistakes and bad experiences included. I was looking critically at the various aspects of my life which I feel are out of whack, then the aspects of my life which I feel are great. I started to […]

I’m having one of those days where I want to complain about other people… Ideally, I would be isolated on a mountaintop, venturing down into “civilization” twice per year to stock up on supplies or to take in a good show. This would be my dream life – I’d never have to deal with the […]

All right, folks, I wasn’t going to write anything about this “race” stuff anytime soon, but there have been several conversations in the past couple of weeks that have struck a chord with me. I’ve had to explain my position thoroughly and clearly multiple times. I had decided it was just a coincidence and there […]

I am thinking about the term “Narcissist” and how it applies to me. Apparently, I am a “Narcissist”. Or, so I’ve been told by persons who (I believe) are using the term as a way to categorize my need for independence, dissatisfaction with just “settling”, and drive to do more and be more in my […]

Today is one of those days where I was driving (not speeding, folks, not speeding :D) along toward work and I thought, “Am I present? Am I focused on what I have and what I am doing rather than what I don’t have or what I have to do?” To be honest, I don’t know […]

The thing that is bothering me today is the sexualization of females. It is disheartening, disturbing, and disgusting to me. I look at female musicians and a large majority of them choose to post images of themselves scantily-clad, in provocative and suggestive poses, with “come hither” looks on their faces. It’s so frustrating. I understand […]

It seems like lately everywhere I look, there are blatant and ludicrous examples of U.S. politicians and citizens trying to control other people by any means necessary, usually criticism. Politically motivated slander is common in newscasts, commercials, music, movies, books, social media sites, on billboards, even on the bumpers of personal vehicles. Uninformed and unsolicited […]

I have decided that I need to write down the things I am thankful for a lot more frequently than I do. Now, the way my brain works, I tend to focus on negative things – things that irritate me, or things I have no control over. There’s an old prayer that is very useful […]

Today I am wondering: when I feel the varied emotions which can be collectively called “Love”, what am I feeling? According to the Ancient Greeks, there were four main types of love: Agape – unconditional and selfless love, does not require reciprocation. Eros – passionate love, as for one’s mate, requires reciprocation. Philia – companionate […]

Desiderata is a poem written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann. It inspires me each time I read it. The name means “Desired Things”. And, in this time of materialism and superficiality, we have forgotten those things which are most important. This poem says all the things I have believed to be true since a very […]
