On the road of life sometimes we think that age will result in wisdom. I do not believe it. Wisdom is not acquired simply because time passes. Perhaps you have heard the saying “old and withered”. This is not necessarily confined to the body, the mind can also play this game…smile. Let me tell you a…
Sometimes I have wanted to run away from doing the right thing. You see, in all honesty, I am attracted to a simple, easy life. This is a good thing for me. I enjoy it. But every once in a while I have to do the “right thing” and that is not always the easy…
I have a secret to tell you. You can choose for yourself without judging others. It seems so simple. Life can be this easy. Sometimes it can be easy to confuse judgment and choice. Here is an example that I have often used to help people distinguish between the two. You woke up this morning.…
I have on one or two occasions in my life had the experience of inappropriately angry people. I have been myself inappropriately angry. Luckily, I noticed. In fact, I only speak of that which I know. I only have wisdom when I have experience. I can only change when I am open, observe and respond.…

One of the topics you will see I return to over and over is choice. To me it is one of the underpinnings of how much of our happiness we experience. Today I woke up and unlike over 3 billion people on the revolving ball called Earth I did not have to look for drinkable…
One of my favourite songs from days of yore is by a group called The Alan Parsons Project and the song is called Time (see the music section if you want a link to iTunes). The lyrics profess that “time is flowing like a river”. Now Einstein taught us that in fact we only experience…
I believe there are five levels to the truth but before I go there I want to say something very clearly about the truth. It never hurts. Truth is not judgement. Truth is not brutal. Violence is brutal. Anger can be brutal. The truth is not. I am tired of people giving truth a bad…
When you look at Golden Girl do you think or do you feel? Do you know the difference? How often are you aware of which you are doing. These are non-trivial questions and essential to our enjoyment of life. I am male and typically like most males if you ask us the question “what are…
