REALITY?: Wisdom
Yesterday, a young woman called me wise, and still it itches like the snip of hair that tumbles down your collar after a trim. I answered something foolish, flippant; as if to show her wrong rather than out of modesty. … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Tradition
Holidays mark events. Memorial Day asks us to to think about society, about war, about the soldiers who for good reason or bad did what they had to do to defend, protect or overcome. Soldiers, by the very idea of … Continue reading

REALITY?: Big Brother vs. God
Okay, so I guess we as a society have changed the overwhelming belief in God to transfer our faith, hope, ethical responsibility, and setting up of moral code to government instead. Even as the wheels grind out so-called ‘justice’ which … Continue reading Continue reading
