Dream Weavers

As we head towards the end of a year, and the beginning of a new one, this is the time when the Dreamweavers come out of hibernation and plot their course for new directions. Each year around December, the Dreamweavers evaluate the present and past year ...

God Versus Ego (the human conflict)

Across the human spectrum, we all live. At one end is God....at the other, is the Ego. The fanatics who are at the extreme level of the God corner are willing to do anything...lie, cheat, steal, maim and kill, in what they consider to be "In the name of ...

Evolving Stories

Beware of rumors, opinions and stories...... I would like to share with you an incident that happened to me recently. I was visiting my local coffee shop, when Bob, the storeowner, was being told a local newsflash that had just happened. What was ...

The Optimistic Pessimist

This past year has been a prime example for the history books...each time we feel that we are getting our feet on solid ground, and things are stabilizing, something or someone seems to pull the rug out from underneath us, which sends us back to the ...

Time Travelers

As much as there are parts of the past we choose to forget, some of it we still cherish. The collection of memories that we carry with us to this day make up who we are. Things may not go always according to plan, but hopefully over time we live and ...

Live Long & Prosper

Since 9/11, it's been real hard to take a real pulse on what's been happening. Enron, Anthrax, the Middle East Conflict, and Wall Street's Woes, have left many of us baffled and confused. Most of the e-mails I receive regarding these times are broken ...

Trends

Isn't it interesting....that certain aspects of life seem to follow a pattern. For example, you head off during the day and one thing seems to go wrong after another, or, at each intersection, you make every green light. Strange, isn't it? Well, for the ...

4 Hours a Day Makes

Yes, indeed....unless somebody has discovered a miraculous way to extend the amount of hours that make up a day, either you control the cycle, or it controls you. We all fall victim, in one way or another, to the hands on the clock. We ask ourselves, ...

Normal

Normal is the presence and level of life that we deem acceptable. Normal has changed over time....and since 9/11, we are all finding new ways to come to terms with the definition of "normal." The world believed that an array of nuclear, biological and ...

Dark Humor

This past week in the United States, many terrorist warnings were issued for the country and specifically, for the New York area. The warnings ranged from nuclear reactors to airplanes, trains, and boats, until it trickled down to scuba divers! To put it ...

Chameleons

We meet or are introduced to people, and after a few encounters we understand who they are, and what they're all about. Unfortunately, there are those who have a strange habit of changing who they are at will, leaving us baffled and confused. For lack of ...

The Waiting Game

9/11, Afghanistan, the Enron Scandal, Wall Street's Bear Market, the Conflict in the Middle East, the Catholic Church Scandal, etc.......over the past eight months this is what has been surrounding us, either at home, at work, or everywhere else ...

God's Tears

It used to be that we believed that the people with the greatest weapons could secure peace in the world. The country with the largest and most powerful military hardware would have all the answers and deliver such a potentially powerful blow that all in ...

Dinner for Two

Allright. The war in the Middle East is escalating daily.....some members of our government, when asked what will come next, a blank stare comes over their faces and they are left practically speechless. Two groups of people, who are supposed to live in ...

The Crossroads

The world is at a Crossroads...each one of us has been affected, in our own way, in the past 6 months. While we were growing up, we were led to believe that the countries with the most powerful weapons had nothing to worry about. Surely no one would ...

Yoga

With so much going on, it's not surprising that many of us feel exhausted or, sometimes, just plain burnt out. In a given 24 hour period it can almost feel that there are forces at work to rob us of our free time, energy, and relaxation. Over the years, ...

The Code

Each week I receive e-mails that cross the boundaries of demographics, countries, and religions. All with their take and thoughts on what is going on in their lives and in their countries. It's quite interesting for me to pull back a little, and to just ...

The Fortress of Temptation

Whenever we set off on our goals and dreams, once we decide what it is we wish to accomplish, instantaneously, right before our eyes, we see a minefield with a sign that says, "Don't even think about it." For each positive step forward, surrounding that ...

Journey to the Center

Through life, we cross over many different types of terrain. As far as we may journey, it is when we return home that we take account of what we have learned in our travels. Home is our center, where peace, purpose, spirituality and knowledge resides. ...

The Best is Yet to Come

This time of the year, many people tend to get a little gloomy after all the festivities of the holidays. Some of us look at January as the beginning of another ladder that has to be climbed. For me, I look at each year as a new beginning, untouched, ...

Virus

It's on everyone's mind.....it's everywhere you go. Unless you've been living in a bunker for the past three months, there has been no way of getting away from it. Even over the holidays, somebody brought it up. What are we talking about? Call it what ...
