Standing on My Head

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.” ― George Orwell, 1984 I don’t know what to do.

What I’m seeing is not what I’m hearing. I’ve watched the…

“This fire that we call Loving is too strong for human minds. But just right for human souls.”― Aberjhani, Elemental: The Power of Illuminated Love It is Valentine’s Day. My first without my bride. Memories flood over me…and when it came to this day, few were memorable in a positive way. It was always a very stressful day. My bride didn’t like traditional Valentine’s Day gifts…you know…roses or…
