We have been given an opportunity to live. We have been given a bolus of time. We have been given a Life. I don’t know why it’s been given to us. I don’t know where it comes from. I don’t know who the “giver” is. All I know is what I know. And that is […]
The reason that man seeks a “meaning” and a “purpose” to life is because he is desperate to run away from LIVING by any and all means necessary. Let us deal with what we have right in front of us, shall we? Let us examine that which has stared us in the face since the […]
Many like to discuss morning “routines.” But morning routines are more a chronology of specific events, than a true absorption of any kind. Some exercise then eat breakfast.
