Light in the (apparent) Darkness
Today is a day to remember that Light shines brightly, regardless of its surroundings, but sometimes, a little “dark” can show us just how bright that Light can be! Today, the world has changed.

the Key to averting Calamity
The world is at war nearly constantly, and gross violence is all too common. Poverty and homelessness are rampant, even in the most affluent of countries.

Observational Twists
“Man’s mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimension.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes After spending so much time delving into and evaluating the Inner world, I’m suddenly drawn to looking at the Outer one once more.
