Nobody can do it alone
Sometimes I wonder why I bother. Why should I try to change a world that often seems dead set AGAINST change. Since I so often am at odds with how others think the world should be, maybe I am the one with the issues. Maybe it is me who needs to change, not the world. […]
Keeping on track.
Clarity of vision can be affected by many factors. Physical limitations of the eyes. The amount of light available. Are there any things around that might block vision? Obviously it is much easier to see far in an open field on a clear sunny day than it is to see in a dark room filled with […]
Why do we make it so hard?
We live in a world that has become defined by US and THEM. This concept has become ingrained in the very fabric of our societies. We have all been taught to focus on what makes us different, instead of what can bring us together. It is so much in human action these days that we do it […]
The Divine Feminine
Is it any wonder that many are unable to accept differences in other cultures, when we cannot even manage to any level of equality within our own? Forgetting differences in appearance, or belief systems, or maybe based on location, humanity in general still has not even managed to accept the concept that male and female can exist on the […]

It usually takes the form of “Do the ends justify the means?” To me […]

Since I am once again channelling my inner Don Quixote, the world … especially the internet world, has shifted in my sights again. It is aways interesting to me how our vision will shift according to what we want, or better yet need, to see. Of course one has to be willing to actually see, and not […]
Think before you speak!
“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.” ― Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Someone posted a picture on Facebook today that got me thinking. It was a typical bit of opinion that is loosely based on fact and on the surface might […]
The change list
One of the difficulties of being an idealist is that life and ideal don’t always mix. The simple reality is that IDEAL often takes a lot of work. This may be part of the reason that much of the human world is not really the way idealists would have it. It also does not help […]
The only thing more powerful than words …
I am a lover of language. Words are one of the greatest inventions of mankind. Just think about it. We are able to express the wonders and beauty of creation with simple sounds and images. And to be honest, I think the fact that there are so many different languages … different ways to express […]
