Conversations with the Heartmind
“I suppose real old age begins when one looks backward rather than forward.” ~ Mary Sarton It is said that in the beginning, man was one with eternity. All aspects of life were contained in one being, the feminine yin and the masculine yang, both perfected, knowing all, witnessing creation as a watcher of infinity. […]
Read More“Pulvis et umbra sumus.” ~We are but dust and shadow~ ― Horace, The Odes of Horace It’s as if she’s still here. But, she’s gone. Life.. Life is fleeting, along with everything in it. All that we cherish. All that we love. All that we hate, and all that we may take too serious, or […]

Perhaps we’re all just a little out of sorts, or are we? Regardless of the cosmos’ perfectly erratic behavior, life can slap the shit out of us sometimes. And… We all […]

Read More“All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.” ~ Maurice Maeterlinck Humans have great capacity for good, for love, for incredible acts of valor and courage; yet the friction remains. Our race also has the unyielding capacity for horror. Our consciousness makes us immortal; a consciousness […]
Read MoreI enjoy the retrospect of my youth. It was a time for innocent exploration of my surrounding world. Luckily, I lived near to a region of undeveloped land. Within this paradise was included a creek that ran for miles, a large pond, hills, slopes and numerous trails. Abundant wildlife frolicked about this sphere with rabbits, […]
