I find the way our minds work to be abundantly fascinating. Our reactions to phrases, words, and different stimuli such as smells and sounds is instantaneous, and seemingly, quite beyond our control. We react to music, or a favorite song, by attaching a memory to it, of a time, place, or person. We think of […]

Body Armor
I’m confident that everyone has seen a movie in which a member of a police force, swat team, or bomb squad, is wearing some sort of body armor. If not, please refer to these links for examples of what I am discussing. http://bulletproofvestshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/tactical-body-armor.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/USMC_Turret_Gunner_mannequin.JPG http://2.imimg.com/data2/LI/EJ/MY-3533402/eod-bomb-disposal-suit-250×250.jpg The heavily padded, reinforced, wearable, items, can be vests, leg and […]

On one knee, the angel knelt at the base of the pit. His head was bent low, his neck muscles strained, and tensed, from the awkward, downward angle.

Fairy Tale Love Story
In early years, the nurture of our imagination was abundantly important. We were encouraged to build and create with multi-colored bricks to engage the creative aspects of our fragile and simultaneously constructive and entrepreneurial tendencies. We felt validated when playing at cops and robbers or cowboys and indians, feeling, this was the practice for adulthood. […]
