Youth emerge from their infancy pretty much instinctively. With encouragement from parents and other siblings we learn to walk and talk and begin to ‘become,’ with very little or no conscious thought to the process. Yes, we express pride with a gleeful smile or laugh when we can first run and stay upright but it…

On Holy Curiosity
I remember many years ago as a young person I was doing what most other young persons do, I was coasting through life without too much direction, at least for a little period. What a person did or did not do seemed to matter very little. What difference did it make where we went or…
On Energy
Energy is associated with almost everything, for an individual it is an evaluation of what makes him move, work and think. It may be associated with a person’s job, how they make a living. It is associated with how the person plays and exercises. And it determines what a person does when they get home…
On Where Are The Wicked Folk Buried?
There are many interesting things, customs and traditions related to death. Some are even humorous. Winston Churchill was almost challenging the Almighty when he said; “I’m ready to meet my maker. Whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” I have always loved this Irish poem written in…
On Creeds of God And Men
There are many creeds and/or codes of conduct that men try to live by. The God of the Old Testament was the great Jehovah or “I Am.” He it was who commanded Moses from the burning bush. He was also the “Word” as described by John, He, it was who under the direction of the…
On Vanity

On Our Uniqueness
Variety in the universe is the norm not the exception. No two things are exactly alike. That is why we, as humans, look different, have unique fingerprints, eye features, DNA and any number of other things that can distinguish us from one another. It would probably be safe to bet that there are no two…
On Understanding or Empathy
In my long life, I have heard many times; “I know how you feel.” And sometimes, a common retort might be, “No, you don’t; you can’t possibly know what I am going through.” We are all as different as we are alike, and because we are, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for one…
On No Matter How Real or On Intelligence
I am often amazed at the capacity of the human mind. If a human can think it, a human can do it, with few exceptions. The most interesting thing about that thought is the converse. Just because you can think it, doesn’t mean that you have to or should do it. Most everything that I…
On Optimism
Life on earth is too short to spend it with negative events, places and even negative people. Many of us work hard at maintaining an optimistic view of life; it is very much like maintaining oneself physically and spiritually. We have to nourish all three in order to maintain a healthy being. We feed optimism…
