Often we find ourselves in a place where neither up nor down, left nor right seem worthy of exploration. Here, we become stuck in a gaze of thought. These stagnant moments aren’t just set before us by random order. Generally these surreal lapses in time come after choices that we’ve made or because of decisions […]
Social structures vary in infinite dimensions. As humans strive to dwell within and maintain societies, many feel as though they are set apart, or should remove themselves from an overriding social dominance of order and ideals. These are individuals who have trouble with social norms, customs and mores. Over time they become defiant of society […]
“That which is creative and compassionate GROWS. That which is destructive is always deteriorating.”~Edgar Cayce Humans all behave in sometimes incomprehensible ways. Some seem to always climb to the top, always engaged in constructive behavior, moving mountains and extending a gracious hand.
