I’ve participated in a few book memes, and most of them ask for lists of favorite books in categories. I’ve never allowed the book I’m going to discuss here to be on any of those lists, because it’s so special it deserves a post of its own. The book is about spring, rebirth, [...]

I’ve had such an amazing and busy week doing administrative work involving the 8th biennial Consciousness Conference at the University of Arizona, and also with speaking engagements and social events involving leaders from the [...]

Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 11 so far )I posted just a few days ago about how Science Fiction changed my life. Most of us knew about Arthur C.

Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 11 so far )The journey continues. I was pleasantly surprised to be tagged by RubyShooZ, wonderful poster of peace, for the following meme. I’ve seen it around on a few blogs, but, now, I’m it! Thanks, Rub, I’m flattered. I already liked this before I got started, because the book Ruby picked sounds fascinating, and I want to [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 23 so far )If you’re looking for a romantic Valentine’s Day post, you’ve come to the wrong place!
