Think about a place that you remember. A place that you would like to go see again. Right now that place is as real as the place you are currently in right now. It is vibrant and people are there, or the wind is rustling in the trees at this moment. The small little section… Continue reading Wherever you are; life goes on elsewhere.

We all have a world view, even if we don’t realize it. This is the framework of how you see humanity, and your place in it.
Sunrise To Moonrise, what did you do today?
The Sunrise over Cape Canaveral. So much of this earth is unknown to me; yet I want to see each rocky coast; each shoreline and mountain and river and field and valley, and river and village. I want to look into the eyes of every human and remind them that this life is for living,… Continue reading Sunrise To Moonrise, what did you do today?
The Owl And The Serpent
“The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.” -Hegel
Moments To Reflect
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d, Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Where Do We Go From Here?
Where do we go from here? Anticlimax is the word I would use to describe the state of the world at the moment. As humanity as a whole we no longer really have a goal. The world has shrunken and become less interesting as more and more exploration and discovery have lessened the mystery around… Continue reading Where Do We Go From Here?
Graffiti To The Gods
Immortality. That is the cause that drives all of us; we meat-puppets, bio-piles, self-motivated obsessed carbon life forms that we are. The reason we do everything that we do is because we die. The meaning of life is that it ends. The scrawled hearts on the park bench, the scratched names under your desk are… Continue reading Graffiti To The Gods

The… Continue reading Time Is Money
The Bell-curve Of Society
My job requires me to make house-calls. During my work day, I meet people. Old, young, and everywhere in-between, I know all kinds. Most people fit firmly into the center of the bell-curve of society, but there are those that stand at the outer edges of ‘normal’. These people can range from the mildly out… Continue reading The Bell-curve Of Society
