Rainbows full of the light spectrum of color, glistening moisture reflecting the sun’s rays to brighten the landscape from the ground to the sky. We look at rainbows with awe and wonder. We are mesmerized by its color, vibrancy and fanciful thoughts of finding the pot of gold at its end. We see rainbows inContinue reading “Rainbows and Blackholes”

Floundering
Floundering definition is to struggle or stagger helplessly or clumsily in water or mud: and or struggle mentally; show or feel great confusion. Yep, that’s me. Is that you too? I had an epiphany the other day. I was visiting my friend’s gravesite and was having a one-sided conversation. He just wouldn’t answer back. ButContinue reading “Floundering”
Upside Down
Where has common sense gone? On my last post, I talked about it being thrown out the window. I have purposely stayed away from politics and the like in my posts. I have tried to make subtle hints but, in this post, I am not going to be silent. According to the constitution, that “someone”Continue reading “Upside Down”
Common Sense Thrown Right Out the Window
Common sense (from Latin Sensus communis) is “knowledge, judgement, and taste which is more or less universal and which is held more or less without reflection or argument”.

Circle of Time

Everywhere a person looks there is color. Lush green grass across the open expanse in the park or soft white snow blanketing the countrysideContinue reading “True Colors”

I can’t articulate that sound, but you can hear it in your own head. What is the premise for Simon says? Who is Simon? And why do we have to doContinue reading “Simon Says”
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Most of know what this is a reference to. A fairly calm, safe, innocent part of our childhood upbringing. There are always exceptions, but fairy tales and bedtime stories have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. But with this story, I’m going to put my own spin on it. In the storyContinue reading “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”
Born to ?
I am positive that this is a question that humans have asked for thousands upon thousands of years. We have looked to the sky with reverence, awe, and bewilderment. We have always asked, “why was I born, what is it that I’m born to do”. I heard a very wise scientists talk about the mathematicalContinue reading “Born to ?”
Ignorance is Bliss
We have all heard this saying before. Here is the synapsis; The phrase “Ignorance is bliss” is an idiomatic expression that suggests not knowing about certain things can make a person happier because they are unaware of problems or unpleasant facts. Well, I am here to say ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is just ignorance and it’s justContinue reading “Ignorance is Bliss”
