  • About the Depth of My Soul

    November 8, 2009

    • About the book  The Depth of My Soul is my first book and it was published on January the 9th 2009. The idea behind the title ethnology is my depth to cover general circumstances that happen in our daily live. In the book, I also cover issues we sometimes have problems expressing our opinions about like wars, genocides, dictatorships, abuse, corruption, torture, bullying, state coups, politics, ...
  • When I was a child

    November 7, 2009

    • When I was a child, I went through many horrible things. I was a victim of incest.  I was four, when my one of my aunts, Judith who’s also biological mother’s youngest sister had an intercourse with me several times. My biological mother, Catherine and her family were calling me names and they use to view me as a person with special needs or a person with down syndrome. When my biological ...
  • I had a dream

    October 30, 2009

    • I dreamed that President Obama made a decision to end the unresolved dilemma between Israel and Palestine.  Until now, efforts for the parties to come to a final agreement on their own had failed.  He realized that only forced action by America could end the stalemate.  He had received the Nobel Peace prize and felt he must do something to deserve that honor, so he made the decision to do ...
  • Spirit of the season(ing)

    October 20, 2009

    • Blood and marriage draw families together but often whole worlds continue to separate us as individuals. Lifestyle choices. Generations. In-laws. Siblings. Achieving – and maintaining -- harmony is a challenge we all seem to face.Some clans need more help than others. Around our holiday table in 1979, my fractious relatives were gifted with a sudden ability to perceive each other as the ...
  • Obama, The Valedictorian of Hope.

    October 9, 2009

    • I don't believe in hope. I think hope and religious faith are the two most insidious and cold blooded  of human conventions:each offer up the unattainable and each incur endless suffering. I grew up in a country whose ideologues exploited religious conviction to validate the most dehumanising form of racism since  their teachers attempted to practice its principles during World War Two. ...
  • Intellectualism Vs. Spirituality

    October 3, 2009

    • Contemplation Vs. Intellectualism  For many individuals, in truth, this is a blurred area not only to express, but also to define, and thereby distinguish.The reasons for this may indeed be numerous, but the fact is, there are indeed just a few that merit a basis for reason to germinate.   May I start out by saying that they are perpendicular: that is to say, they are as different as simple ...
  • Understanding "The Road Not Taken."

    September 29, 2009

    •      Once asked where I like to hike, I answered, "Where ever it appears that man has not gone." It seemed like a simple answer then. Yet, now as I bury myself in my writing on a daily basis, I find myself analyzing words and phrases in a much different way. I realize now, that in the many years I claimed I had no love for poetry, and was not the "type to sit and write a ...
  • Children, the Master Button Pressers

    September 27, 2009

    • People often say that babies arrive on this planet as blank slates, that parents make them who they are. I know for a fact this is not true. Genetics plays a far bigger part than just about anything else. My children had personality the day they were born. For example, my daughter cares about everything. My son finds the humor in everything.Her tendency to care and his tendency to laugh are ...
  • Whistling Pines of Home

    September 23, 2009

    • How do I speak this tale of a once bleeding heart, my dear fellow human beings on this trying and often complicated journey called life? Indeed, the unwavering affirmation of life's spiritual dimension got me through in God's loving care. Sometime, during early 2002, in Geneva, Switzerland, I got the devastating pill of race and colour based rejection plus unreciprocated love from an Argentine ...
  • The best of 5770 to all!

    September 17, 2009

    • The fear and furor largely created by misinformation and political ill will in the  debate about U.S. health care reform has taken such uncivil forms, it is refreshing to learn that the Ontario government in Canada (you know, the place with that blankety-blank public health care system)is considering 21st century legislation regarding infertility. With so many women working and having babies ...
