The Real Story of The Three Little Pigs
I was chitchatting with my son the other day, and he said that even though he thinks it will be fun after the shift is complete, that if he had to choose a time period to be born into, he’d choose this time period. He said that it was exciting to move Read More...

Two Blogs in One
Recently, I decided I was going to appreciate freely, without regard to what anyone else was doing. If you asked me how that’s coming along, I’d have to say that it needs work. I’ve been struggling. I wrote the following two blogs to help work out the Read More...

Seth Events: An “Out”-of-Body Experience*
If you ever want to test the mettle of your relationships, try telling people that you’ve had an out-of-body experience. It’s actually quite amusing. After I had one, most of the people I told were either wary or uninterested, though most came around Read More...

Money, Morality and The Habit of Wealth

Absolutely
One of my favorite quotes is by Elias. It goes like this: “There are no absolutes.” You have to love that line. It’s fodder for a lifetime of thought. An absolute is often defined as something perfect or complete or unlimited by exception or not to be Read More...

Global Blooming
I was talking to a neighbor recently, and she was telling me about an award winning documentary she’d seen on global warming, and she asked me if I’d seen it. I said that I hadn’t, and she said that she would loan me the DVD because I had to see it, and Read More...

Introduction
I didn't always hold the view that it’s a magical world. It’s safe to say that my life has been a swinging pendulum where I first tried out cultural norms and then, after evaluating their effectiveness, began to swing in the other direction. That is, Read More...
