- 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 ...

- 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 ...

- 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 ...

- 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 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 ...

- There are two items which bring can bring an individual to the precipice of the “proverbial” edge and potentially with one last step...and over the edge... thereby on with their next journey. The two issues are when one cries and the other is despair. These are neither the same, nor related, yet they can manifest themselves individually, in pairs or in tandem of one another. Of all ...

- This is the first time in a week that I’ve sat down at a computer, so you can know I’m not exaggerating when I say the past week has been quite busy. Actually, the past week has been tremendously busy, more than any week I can remember, but more than that… the past few days have held for us all sorts of surprises. The surprises have been wonderful, to speak of their magnitude somewhat ...

- The week has necessitated a weekend of ordinary, basic pleasures. Nothing too fancy, and nothing out of the fabric of life. I will not be having a spa day. I will not be sky diving (with or without a parachute). I will not be eating a chocolate cake and a pint of homemade vanilla ice cream all in one sitting. There will be no beach, no sun, no pina colada involved in this weekend, ...

- Somewhere, there’s a photo of me with Corazon Aquino, the former president of the Philippines who will be buried on Wednesday. I thought of her today as her flag-draped coffin was carried along EDSA in Manila. This is the very street where the People Power Revolution was born. Today, this street turned into a sea of yellow with ribbons, flags and balloons--as it had back in the days ...
