Heaven knows the hungry mouths that the nations have worldwide. For some sadly, it leads to an early visit to the gallows. I sigh. As large of a problem world hunger is… there is a hunger not often met that leads many to the same kind of fate. The hunger and need for love. I’ve…

It’s the reason behind the reason. It’s the reason for reason. Yet…. Why is it so commonplace to feel like things are without purpose? I’m not just talking about evil. I’m talking about how it is so easy to fall into the trap of comfortable apathy. Where it feels okay to feel lacking as long…

Who are you?? I know I cast you out long ago.I thought that you were the problem. Now you are the mystery of the century.I yet want. This much is true. In spite of that… who are you? You ebb and flow in all of my members.And yet you are such a stranger. I perhaps…

Are you afraid to dream? I understand that well. I’m afraid to believe in the things I dream of having, for I fear that they will not work out by default. It feels defeatist. It is weighty. It isn’t fun at all. I have a complicated relationship with my dreams, and the fact that I…

I can say the answer is not 42. I can say that the answer is not black and white, and there is no cookie cutter approach to finding it. You can find something that feels rather good fast, but will it last? I often find that such things do not. Even when there is the…

You’ve probably heard of the commandment that says “you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain”. I did early on. Cussing was a no no. Nevertheless, euphemisms abounded. Which are the same thing under a different term, I feel. So let me get this straight — you can say dang…

Clear sight. It used to evade me very often. Especially when I was a child. I’m thankful that I have good eyes, just wonky focus sometimes. I can see near and far. Without correction though, one eye is stronger than the other, and I often see two heads instead of one. *Does not come from…
