As far as blog posts go, this one will be lacking. I’m not sure I will be able to find a proper call to action, and I’m really not sure it matters. As it is more often than not, the action you take should be your own choice. In any case, this struck me recentlyContinue reading “Thoughts on Modern Democracy”

To Start a New and Overwhelming Project
One of the most important things that we can learn and develop through an event like a global pandemic, especially in the midst of the technological revolution and globalization is the ability to adapt to radically changing life circumstances. Career transition, philosophical upheaval, and the desire to become more directly involved in social and politicalContinue reading “To Start a New and Overwhelming Project”

Meanwhile
I believe in a world where magic leads And I live in a world of legends believed Where the family gathers around the tree Or some other abstract simile The events that passed under holy stars Or stories told to keep the children straight Of bearded benevolence They’re forever ours … Peace that they createContinue reading “Meanwhile”

She wasn’t wearing a mask. My initial reaction was, “This is a failure of the public educationContinue reading “Segregation Persists… We Need to Fully Integrate”

While there are some who enjoy the same routine day after day and desire the comfort (which is completely valid), I personally enjoy the dailyContinue reading “Get Lost! But Please Come Back…”
Creating Experience – The Magic of Words
