Do you ever think life would be better if we could get an idea, just a glimpseContinue reading “Tapping the Divine – Better or Worse?”

Every man’s battle is not mine and mine is not theirs. Theirs may be more feasible than mine or vice versa. So what is it that makes it EVERY man’s? My vote is we all come from the same, personal, artist, i.e., one who initiates and develops a craft. So if we are family, thenContinue reading “The Battle of the nudge”

Maybe a good teaser for a monologue about how as John Locke put it, “Love is the act of making the other better”. Don’t get me wrong. I love that quote. But I digress.
