Friday's Poem Breakfast with Candlelight

Friday’s Poem Breakfast with Candlelight

Days are getting shorter Nightfall early closes in Mornings are adventurous Sunrise later to be seen Candlelight warming heart Softly glowing, lighting faces Breakfast time or dinner Gentle glow softens the air Outside, stars greet us earlier Though they are always there Witness their twinkling magic Millions of light-years away Their light travelled fast To see our faces shining Autumn is upon…

What About the Information You Don't Get?

What About the Information You Don’t Get?

Parler Chief Policy Officer Amy Peikoff appeared on Chicago’s Morning Answer to talk about social media censorship and Parler’s rise after being de-platformed. “Last year it was the election; this year it’s the information about COVID,” Peikoff says. “People who spend their time only on Facebook and Twitter? There’s a lot of information about COVID and the vaccines and everything else that you…

America's Moral Responsibility for the Tragedy Unfolding in Afghanistan

America’s Moral Responsibility for the Tragedy Unfolding in Afghanistan

Michael Blake, University of Washington Chaotic scenes in Kabul accompanied the return to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan. The fundamentalist Islamic group was able to retake power after President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw the remaining U.S. troops from the country. The withdrawal brings to a close nearly 20 years of American military presence in Afghanistan. Without the ongoing…

Afghanistan: Howling At The Moon

I am a journalist, but, this feels personal. Sometimes, the world demands we howl at the moon. Hearts screaming out to breach the distance of miles and trivial priorities. A cry seeking to engage in the night. Souls searching for light in blanketed, darkening skies. Kabul has fallen. It is not the first time, it may not be the last. August 19th is Independence Day in Afghanistan. What meaning…

Looking Forward: Let America be America Again

Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free. (America never was America to me.) Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above. (It never was America to me.) “Let America Be…

Let's Twist Again: Because Laughter Matters

Let’s Twist Again: Because Laughter Matters

“Humanity has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century, but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand”. — Mark Twain …

The Boiled Frog

Years ago, my very wise son made a comment that sticks with me even today. He said, “Things won’t change unless there is a cataclysmic event that jolts us out of our ennui.” Or something like that. Yes, he is a student of philosophy. The question I have today, looking back on the past few years, is whether the cataclysm will occur visibly and intentionally (e.g., a war, a shut-down, a…

When starting with a new executive coaching client I often ask ‘what kind of leader do you want to be?’ ‘Someone who leads by example‘ gets a lot of the votes. As much as I like that answer, it can often be an easy idea to speak, but the hardest action to take. Where do...

Why The Universe Created Humans The Way They Are

Lately, my morning ritual consists of tuning into what some people call “Higher Self”. I like to call it True Self, as I more and more start to see what we are and what we are not. Certainly not the Ego Mind and its chatters and beliefs that try to keep us small. That created most of my life based on non-truths. The talks with TS show me every time; “You are here to do something Great!” But what…

Long Live The King

This picture you see here above was one that I took on one of a thousand bike rides I went on when I lived in Toronto. I used to ride my bike everywhere. To work. To the store. Out for coffee with friends. Wherever. The view from the seat of a Raleigh touring bike is a lot different than the view from a car. Most importantly, you can see a lot more and, as a result, more interesting stuff catches…

Will the War on Menthol Fund the Next “Sopranos” or Domestic Terrorist Group?

As the retired Special Agent in Charge of NJ Treasury’s Office of Criminal Investigation, my interests lay in creating safe and secure neighborhoods and upholding sound public policy to achieve those interests. That is why the Food and Drug Administration’s plan to ban menthol cigarettes is of immense concern to me as it will position the already burdened and fragile law enforcement system on the…

Climbing the Mountain of Your Dreams

It seems that all good things in life require some kind of trial-by-fire and moving to paradise is no exception. Today will be our last full day in what we’ve come to affectionately refer to as “the rooster apartment.” For the last two weeks, we’ve been greeted at 3 am by roosters crowing across the street. Sleep has been evasive. and we’re still thrilled to be here! (Now that’s saying…

Our Life is Made Up of Moments Full of Randomness

Life is strange and unpredictable. Marcus Aurelius was used to saying: “We are not given to live but the present, the rest is a past life or life that is yet to come and, therefore, uncertain and unpredictable”. Life is full of uncertainties, surprises, and this is its beauty, because if the future is open, if our destiny is not already written, then there is freedom. Freedom to grow or not to…
