The storm arrived with snow filling the air and falling upon the ground only to subside as cloudy skies became blue again with bright sunshine, brighter than normal by it's reflection on the newly laid snow. It is cold and now, later in the day, the sun having gone down, leaves hard, crusty ice upon … Continue reading Trust

The True Conflict
It's definitely Winter though it's not officially Winter. November has been very cold. Cold like January. Day after day. There was some snow, enough to open the ski resorts early. Then it became dry and cold with temperature inversions that keep all the pollution on the ground for us to breathe, just like January. This … Continue reading The True Conflict
Why Write?
How I enjoy a mild day. A mild temperature outside allowing me to open up the windows and doors to my apartment and feel the openness, rather than enclosed and feeling the constant cool air from the AC along with hearing the whir of the fan going nearly constantly. I feel a sense of relief, … Continue reading Why Write?
Here Today and Gone Tomorrow
Fall is finally breaking through after a long, hot Summer. I wondered if Summer would ever end. It was a painful Summer. Day after day going out into the extreme heat, feeling its weight upon me as I simply went to the place I have to go in the world. Looking at the forecast and … Continue reading Here Today and Gone Tomorrow
A Matter of Perspective
It's interesting how perspective defines the lives of humans. Some people are willing to view life through different perspectives, often changing as they go through life. While others will stubbornly hold on to a perspective, often changing some but little throughout their lives. Many people will try to convince others of their perspective, often so … Continue reading A Matter of Perspective

This morning I woke up and, even though I've known it all along, it truly occurred to me that I am living in a society that is seriously on the decline. It was once the top society in the world that many others around the world envied and now, well, it's just a mess. Still, … Continue reading Living Within the Decline
The Greatness of Humility
I find it interesting how much humans think of themselves. It's actually the very essence of their blindness to reality. Humans are taught to be the best. And when they can't be the best then they should be depressed. It's not the intended consequence but it does make for great business for the mental health … Continue reading The Greatness of Humility
From Simple Things
At times I wonder if what I've been writing lately is simply over the heads of most people. I don't intend it to be this way. I know that when I sit down to write it simply comes out. I thought of my last post and it came to mind that it doesn't really represent … Continue reading From Simple Things
Through Our Goals, We Become
It seems everyone has a goal of some sort. Something to keep them going in life and giving them some sense of going forward with their lives. Yet, ultimately we all have one primary goal. We all die. Yes, this is the one goal that most people don't want to think about much. They would … Continue reading Through Our Goals, We Become
To Be Creation
If you were to take a general snapshot of the world today, a large portion of that image would depict many expressions of violence. Not just human violence but also natural violence. Sure, humans continue to run around brandishing their weapons of death with great pride, using them to inflict pain and suffering upon others … Continue reading To Be Creation
