My first challenge!
My first challenge!
I have always dabbled a bit in meditation, but back in the days when I was the webmaster for a “cult”. I learned a lot more about the art. Meditation is a wonderful way to get centered, to reconnect with your “true self” as well as the universe at large. I have often heard people […]
It is time for the L post, and I must admit I am at a Loss. I can’t seem to come up with an L word that Lets me create something I actually Like. First I was going to go with Love. But I realized I really know nothing about it. Not to mention I […]
I am not in a very creative mood today. So for my K post, I am going to delve into the archives. When I was recovering from the accident I described in Close call, I did a fair amount of writing. It started with a random creation story, which began developing on its own. Over […]
Ok time for a bit of nostalgia. I am wracking my brains for a J post, and for all the J words I can come up with, they all seem to have dark and gloomy ideas associated. And I am in the mood for light and fun. So what to write? Then along comes a […]
What would we be without imagination? I live in an attic room. Well technically it is a loft that is right before the attic. But I am just below the roof. My futon is such that if I get up too quickly, I whack myself a good one. I often IMAGINE the ad I would put in […]
As I may have mentioned before, I have had my fair share of adventures. One of the more life changing ones was my participation in the Sea Education Association (S.E.A.). In this program, we spent half a semester at Woods Hole, MA learning sailing technique and various oceanographic related studies. The second half of the semester we spent aboard a […]
I do like to eat! But I would never label myself gourmet. Gourmets have a “refined” palate. Only the best for a gourmet. I on the other hand simply like to eat. Ideally good food. But if I am hungry enough, simple food will work for me. And I am always hungry! As a result, I have never […]
FUN! is: Not work – Work may be fun, but fun is not work. Laughter – Any reason to laugh is fun. Laugh for no reason and you have mastered fun! Remembering the child inside – Why do “adults” think fun is a no no? Looking on the bright side – Every moment has its […]
You are making words up again, aren’t you Steve! Me? Never!! Said with fingers crossed of course. Anyhoo, what the heck is ethnocentrism? To put it bluntly, it is cultural snobbery. The exact opposite of “Why can’t we all just get along?” And sadly … the way of our world. What ARE you blithering on about this […]
Everything happens for a reason. Do you believe that? Do I believe that? I am going to attempt to share one of the foundations of my belief system. One that actually defines who I am to myself. I am not usually very good at sharing this specific idea, because in some way the belief goes beyond words. But today […]
