		<title>Discipline is Not A Four Letter Word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sitting at my desk right now, typing words on the keyboard that show up on the screen in front of me.  The reason, plain and simple, is that it&#8217;s the 1st of August and two weeks have passed since I added a post on this website.  Have the multitudes out there been [...]

		<title>It&#8217;s All In the Here and Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a period in human history when it was a lot easier to live in the here and now than it is today.  For the longest time, life was pretty much the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, for as far as the eye could see in either direction.  If you were a farmer back [...]

		<title>And So It Begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last post spoke about achieving higher consciousness and improving the world by starting with the subject you know best&#8230; yourself.  Less complaining about all the other doofuses out there and more focus on being the shining light you know you can be&#8230; the very best &#8220;you&#8221; possible.    Well that goes [...]

From ethnic violence to corporate greed to partisan politics to the destruction of Mother Earth and so much more, the human [...]

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a lad there were a lot of middles.  There was middle America, and middle age, and the middle class, not to mention the ubiquitous middle of the road, which could be used to cover anything from politics to issues of social justice.  Sure, there were always people on either end of the [...]

		<title>Nothing Is Believing Anymore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was raised in the knowledge that &#8220;seeing is believing&#8221;.  Something that someone else saw might be suspect, and hearsay was definitely a no-no as far as credibility went.  But if you saw something with your very own eyes, well, by gosh, that had to be true.  Didn&#8217;t it?  And that went for photographs, too.

The last three blogs have taken us on a search deep inside to find out who we &#8220;really&#8221; are.  Along the way we learned that we are not our bodies nor our possessions, despite the signs on the back of some pickups that &#8220;the one who dies with the most toys wins&#8221;.  And we know [...]

		<title>How The Other Half Thinks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received an email from an old friend the other day for the purpose of trying, once again, to convince me why the right is right.  The scary part is that the story it told and the example it contained portrays quite accurately the way a large part of our population really do think and [...]
