Some of the tools that are available and at our finger tips today are simply mind boggling. On my way back to the car after touching the turn around at the 3 mile mark, Lisa and I paused at a lookout point to take in a spectacular view of the reservoir. What is most spectacular […]
The Church and Me
Mythic literature is full of stories involving twins. And the hostile brother motif shows up frequently. I wrote about this theme in my previous post, the story of the Swine Herders. And I made the outlandish claim that Gemini, the sign of the “twins,” rules Pigs. It is an observation I made regarding the backstory […]
One of a Kind, Among Many
“…man can move out of the ‘influences’ of the actual sky and the laws which bind him to a destiny overshadowed by the Ignorance, and he can move into a sphere of higher light and knowledge veiled to the ordinary eye, a harmony which is perceivable only to those who have eyes to see in […]
Bhudevi
Old Narratives An old narrative holds that Swine Herders once held outsized power in society but lost their influence when rivals stampeded their claim to authority relegating the Swine Herder to second-class citizen. The Swine Herder was displaced by a new power. One of the oldest and most popular myths of all time taken from […]
Making Elephants Dance

They allow for unlimited […]
Murder Most Foul

As horrible as these events appear to be there seems to be something else going on; an almost unimaginable re-tuning of Earth. As if the world needs open […]
G'd Up
Gianna Maria Onore Bryant shared a birthday with Me’Arah O’Neal, or Mimi as she is known. Mimi is Shaquille O’Neal’s youngest daughter. And like Mimi, Gianna would adopt a nickname. She would be known as Gigi. One report claimed that Mimi was born “6 minutes” after Gigi.1 It was May 1st, 2006. The time quoted […]
The Referee’s Handbook
“Reading is fundamental. I made a point of reading the referee’s handbook. One of the rules I gleaned from it, was that each referee has a designated slot where he’s supposed to be on the floor. If the ball for instance is in place “W” referees “X”, “Y” and “Z” each have an area on […]
Waiting for Understanding
Godot, or what I mean to say, Understanding, never shows up in Samuel Beckett’s play. Never arrives. Finding meaning in the play seems elusive. Like life. And yet at the same time the audience is mysteriously drawn into the act. But just when you’ve had a enough, waiting for something to happen, right before you […]
