Away

September 17, 2017 by admin

Not much of the traveler am I. Five continents. More countries and states than I can easily recall. Travel by Russian army truck, speedboats, Tuktuks, and airplanes that were so crowded that a passenger had to stand. All these places and experiences. But even so, to travel out of town for three days, and I miss my family before I am even down the walkway. More of the lonely traveler … [Read more...]

The C word

September 16, 2017 by admin

Cooperation. Or competition. When we are working together towards something at what point are we no longer working together? Once there was a movement towards something. Maybe I am romanticizing it. Maybe it never existed. But once we fought towards a single thing. Together. Even with our differences. Now the space is crowded and no one wants to share. We want to destroy each other … [Read more...]

Iron does not lie

September 12, 2017 by admin

You can either lift it or you can't. Doesn't matter how much you talk about it. Doesn't matter if someone doesn't like it. If you can lift it, you own it. Sure, people cheat a bit.

Half of that lifting is … [Read more...]

Is most of life just throwing stones against the waves? Why is it so hard for any of us to give up control? Especially over others? We know better. We have more experience. We're not sure that the other person is doing the right thing of making the right choices. But, in the end, do we really have any more control? Did our interference lead to a vastly different outcome? Where is … [Read more...]

Time

September 9, 2017 by admin

A second, a minute, an hour, a year, a lifetime. Beginning and end. How do we exist within a measure of time? Whether a second or a life. That space between. … [Read more...]

Vicarious Thrills

September 7, 2017 by admin

I remember the first time I competed in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The moment I stepped onto that mat, I could not feel my legs. My opponent looked like he was standing at the far end of a tunnel. I'm not sure I could actually hear anything. A high level of stress and my body was freaking out. But honestly I think it's more stressful to watch my daughter compete - in tennis! An hour and a … [Read more...]

Unfinished Projects

I read in a book recently that an experiment was done that showed that unfinished projects take up more mental bandwidth than finished projects. The scientists tested this by allowing their subjects to finish some puzzles but not others in a certain allotment of time. The subjects continued to think about the unfinished puzzles afterwards.
