I sensed that you needed a gesture, a sign, an effort. You needed a motion, a massive, magnanimous movement, that all the little ones couldn’t provide. You needed a sweeping, soaring, sizable display, to make your heart swoon. It had to be considerate, calculable, and colossal in scope. So I struggled, and strived, and stretched myself […]

The Overseer
There is a true deity that affects our all of our lives. The choice of an ultimate, spiritual leader is inconsequential after all. The ongoing conflicts between acolytes of supreme spiritual devotees will never cease. But, there is a conceptual, albeit massively impactful, one that rules everyone. It doesn’t care whether you are agnostic, atheist, […]
Tourniquet
The tourniquet is an implement that is used to save lives. It is applied to the body near a catastrophic fissure that is causing the person to lose incredible amounts of blood. Without the tourniquet, the person would experience exsanguination, and eventual death, resulting from excessive blood loss, as a consequence of their wound or […]
Trust, Depend, Follow.
If you are supposed to trust your gut, and rely on the thoughts in your head, then definitely, certainly, absolutely, do not follow your heart. It will lead you wildly astray from sense, logic, reason, and rationale. The path it forges will enter the darkest, most dense, forest of confusion. It will lead you into emotional wilderness, blazing a dusty trail […]
The Manhattan Project
For those that aren’t aware of the historical significance of the Manhattan Project, I will provide a brief summary. Due to concerns that Germany, and the Nazi party, were funding research on nuclear power, the Manhattan Project was launched to study and research uranium. At extraordinary cost, and conducted in secret, this project would ultimately […]
One side, other side, no side.
There is no middle ground with happiness. You either have it or you don’t. You either feel it, or it’s not there at all. It’s a sensation, feeling, and encompassing emotion, that is either present, or not. You can’t be kind of happy. You can’t chose ambivalence in bliss. There isn’t an option that allows […]
Energy and Balance
In science, the law of the conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created or destroyed; rather it transfers from one form to another. 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 […]
In the Moment
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 […]
Phrases, Triggers, Snails.
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 […]
