Let us forge a new way of evolution, the one that involves everyone and no one gets left behind. The future is a sum total of all our actions, let's make ours count.
what do people do with all their dreams and hopes? These tiny sparks of creativity, of love and inspiration? They neglect it, let it die a slow painful death by rejection or they expose them to the harsh conditions of the world where norms and popular opinion crush it before it even gets a chance to see the light.

No, that’s not a typo, it reads exactly as it should. Beauty is imperfect, natural and spontaneous; everything else is just the opposite.

My husband, a perpetual toastmaster, had us all guffawing with his jokes when one particular ‘joke’ plucked a nerve. A 1960 versus 2012,... Continue Reading →

As I drone about the dangers of eating herbaceous plants, not to mention poisonous weeds, he... Continue Reading →
The concept of utopia is so appealing to the higher intellectual self, an ideal community or society. However, what is ideal? World peace is ideal to a United Nations peacekeeper but for a mother of 4, ideal is some quite time from the kids. It is an insult to mankind’s complexity to resort to common... Continue Reading →
Humans, the variety amazes me! It’s the varying levels of morality and honesty that amazes me.
