Now that the nature of my journey has changed, I am beginning to see the world differently. Where I have been … Damascus … is a crossroads of sorts. Physically it is a bit of nowhere that somehow connects many different pathways. It is nature and man-made trying to find a balance. Yet spiritually, it […]
As many have noticed (and I probably have said myself many times), I do not live a “traditional” life. I never have. Once, I would have said my life has been one adventure after another, with periods of stagnation of varying size in between. Others might view it differently, with me be anything from a […]
As society becomes more and more digitized, it seems that original ideas become fewer … which somehow seems backwards. The “information age” allows us to express our ideas by basically borrowing those of others … I would say a better description of the times is the “meme age”. Where once social networking was inundated with […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I had a discussion with my mother yesterday that made me think, as often happens. She was commenting on watching a show about those communities who chose to ignore evolutionary theory in schools, and ONLY teach creationism. She mentioned how someone asked a question that made sense to her … namely those who wanted to […]
A couple of posts ago, I mentioned the realization that we are always surrounded by inspiration. The trick is opening our senses to it. The challenge is not a lack of inspiration, but the lack of consistency in those who seek it. We humans are pretty fickle beings, changing from moment to moment … even […]
It may seem odd, but one of the questions I find the toughest to answer is when I am asked, “What do you do for a living?” Even back in the days when I had something resembling a traditional working life, I never quite knew how to answer that question. As far as I am […]
I woke up one morning feeling very unmotivated. I just could not find any good reason to do much of … well … anything. Usually I have all sorts of ideas of what I might like to do now, but that particular now, I simply had nothing. Something was simply … missing. I thought for […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As part of my pursuit of a better me, I use Lumosity. Lumosity is a site devoted to exercising the brain. I have always believed keeping the brain strong is just as important as keeping the body healthy. Add to this the history in my family of brain related diseases (Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s), I want […]
The last time I moved back to the ‘rents house to “temporarily” recoup was roughly … 6 years ago. Since then, I have been living my hermit life in what I affectionately call “the cave”. I had several considered reasons for this move, all of which made logical sense to me. I was broke and […]
Have you ever been asked the question: “What would you do if you knew you were going to die tomorrow?” I know I have many times, or some variation of this. And how I answered changed depending on how serious the questioner and frankly the day I was asked. It just dawned on me we all […]
