I used to love those cartoons where the character had a little devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other. In most cases they were miniatures of the main character. A little Goofy with horns on one shoulder, one with a halo on the other. Usually the halo one ended up […]
Well, not yet anyway. I just wrote that title up there so, hey…. give me a chance here! So sometimes it’s like, “umm, you have not written an article lately.” “You’re absolutely correct. I have not.” “Well?” “OKOK. I know. I’ll get right on it ((holding fingers crossed behind my back)). But first I […]
Lately I find myself not using my mind the way I used to. Formerly, I felt that unless I had intimate knowledge and evidence of a thing, there was no way that I could make decisions about that thing. And that had severe cascading consequences; one question “answered” lead to another, and another, […]
There’s an old saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. In other words, in desperate times when it looks like there is no other way out, most people will finally turn to a Higher Power for help as a last resort. I suppose that’s true in 99% of cases. I’m sure that there […]

When I was a young man (which now means when I was 20 – 40 years old) working for small companies and large corporations, I had a lot of misconceptions. At first I thought the engineers were infallible since they were “professionals” and educated. I thought the corporate heads were unfailingly upright people who pretty near always knew what they were doing…after […]
Every year here in the U.S. we set aside a day in November to celebrate abundance…and, we’re told, to give thanks for that abundance. Our political and religious leaders admonish us to pray and express gratitude for what we have in life. But exactly who or what is it that we’re thanking? It’s easy to […]
As anyone who’s dealt with me for any length of time is aware, I’m big on the idea of physical synchronicities as being some of the most useful guideposts for us. Songs on the radio, street signs, the “11:11” phenomena… even cloud formations have served me well in the past. These signs can be useful in any number of […]
