Thanks Forgiving



I was thinking to get this post up before Thanksgiving, but, alas, I was preoccupied. I then thought to save this, and maybe do it next year... but I am not one to pay too much attention to what calendars or clocks say I should be doing. Heehehe.  

So, here we go, a look at one of America's holidays with the highest level of cognitive dissonance... and a somewhat more personal take on the concepts of thanks and forgiveness.

Calling All Wizards





The wizard archetype is one of the most beloved and truly inspiring that humans have come up with. Who doesn't love Merlin, Gandalf, Dr. Strange... even Dumbledore?

They are wisdom personified, and the perfect model of a powerful older person.  Someone whose knowledge and personal life force make them more than a match for any dozen people half or a third their age.  Someone who wouldn't surprise you if they lived to 10,000.

Writing as shaving with a dull razor...





Real writing... as opposed to this journal writing improvisation...
is a lot like shaving a full beard with an old, dull razor.

Having Kids?



Well, here goes... 

This is certain to be a post that will rub some of you the wrong way. I apologize in advance, and can only say that this is an important topic. Whether or not people like to hear about it, or if it is considered politically correct to address it...

Broken Hearts Are Made Of Stone



They say broken hearts are made of stone, and there may be something to this old adage.  I want to delve into this a bit, but I also want to engage with whoever might want to discuss heartbreak and how we grow numb to it over time.

Goal!



Oh yeah!

It is the most awesome thing in creation when an awakened mind finds something to focus on, and determines that the dream being conjured is good..

Crossroads


Well...


There are times in one's life where the stability and miserability one comes to expect in "normal" living----> vanish in thin air.
