Most of us in the world today use, as our primary calendar, that known as the “Gregorian”. The Gregorian calendar came into popular usage between 1542, when it was decreed by Pope Gregory, and as late as 1926, by which time it was adopted by Russia and China. It’s amazing to think that there are [...]

I had never had a blog, website or social network membership. I didn’t IM, text, or livechat. I’d sent emails and browsed for years, but [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 24 so far )If you were intrigued by this title, I’ll bet you thought this was going to be a humorous post, right? While I hope it will not be without its elements of whimsy, I’m quite serious about the subject. Just for fun, and anticipating the results, I “googled” the term “Procrastination”. The results, [...]

These can be great, but I wonder about the scoring methods and, in couple of cases, language usage by the author. Given all that, I [...]

Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 6 so far )I was weeding in my front garden today. (Yes, weeding in December. That’s the desert for you, even in the northern hemisphere). I found myself trimming the Desert Spoon yet again. This thing shouldn’t need trimming at all. In open desert it grows big and round to about 4 feet in diameter, then just sort [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 6 so far )When I was a child, my elementary school’s philosophy was to celebrate all the holidays its students did. Most of us in the United States think of “THE HOLIDAYS” as starting at the end of November with Thanksgiving, and stretching to New Year’s Day on January 1st. We, of course, celebrate many other [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 13 so far )When I was seven years old I found some white navy beans on the street–probably dribbled by a torn shopping bag belonging to one of my neighbors. I wouldn’t do this now, but then I picked them up!–right off the “dirty” street. I put them in my pocket and I took them home. Later that afternoon, [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 10 so far )I had the privilege of seeing Swami Beyondananda at the Institute of Noetic Sciences conference this summer. In addition to being a side-splittingly funny spiritual and political commentator, he’s also very serious about the “shift happening” on the planet in these times.
