There’s a dark lake, that shimmers, quivers and pools. It draws one unto, obsidian oblivion, and pulls. Its nothing enthralls, beckons, and draws you to dip your hand in. Submerge to your wrist, in total blackness. and try to grab hold. When your hand draws back from that infinite lack, nothing’s to behold. But all out of sight in the […]

Breakfast Anyone?
Who doesn’t love breakfast? I know, when I wake up, one of the first thoughts I have is about what I will eat to nourish my body. It’s been said that “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!” Not only is this likely true, but in consideration of all potential meals, breakfast, at […]
Shopping with Direction
I am thoroughly aware that we don’t make as many purchases in a conventional manner. This conventional method starts with that painful propelling of our bodies, executing step after arduous step, eyes downcast, and mouth scowled in disapproval, gradually reaching beyond our twenty-yard walkways, and entering our, heated seats included, vehicles.

To say this another way, the amount of energy is finite, and can’t be generated or eliminated, but simply shifts its type. There are many examples of this type […]

Several years ago, at the suggestion of my cousin, I read a book called the 4 Hour Work Week. The idea, basically, was that the total amount of work necessary to be successful, and have decent welfare, could be achieved in a short amount of time, four hours as the title suggests. While that may […]
The Vase
Inside all of us, there is a perfect room. It is this room that we decorate with all the intricacies of our souls.
