Heat or Not, I'm Stayin' In the Kitchen

In the span of a half hour, three emails reached my in-box with content that, on first glance, feels worse than spam. Caustic, criticism from a reader, “Bob,” who disagrees with articles that he’s read on this site. And he has no compunctions about saying so!

Finding Harmony Through Turmoil

Some Lights Are Brighter Than Others, originally uploaded by phaelosopher. One awareness that generally manages to elude us as we go about the process of living, is the sense that we are creating our future from this present moment.
