Yesterday I found this waxing crescent moon on the beach. I didn’t even need my detector, I saw it with my own eyes right in the sand. Yemaya I used Google Lens to try and identify it and saw the exact same on Amazon in Yemaya Tools Herramientas: https://a.co/d/8REo7WC Yemaya Tools Herramientas I had no…… Continue reading Adventures in Metal Detecting: Find Waxing Crescent, Learn about a Goddess
Journal Entry – 1.15.23
It is 6:30 AM on Sunday morning, January 15th 2023. It occurred to me just a few moments ago that sitting next to the gas fireplace in my bedroom would be a great place to write. A heavy shower has just passed through and hopefully there will be a few more before the expected pause…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.15.23
Mysteries of the Unknown: Time and Space
I have a deep fascination with time. I am acutely aware at how fast it passes and am dismayed that I’m forty five years old. It is not a sadness at no longer being young but more-so being very surprised that this age has come so quickly. I’ve always known that time is precious and…… Continue reading Mysteries of the Unknown: Time and Space
Lapham’s Quarterly: Foreigners
Having spent a substantial amount of time in foreign countries I was looking forward to reading this edition of Lapham’s Quarterly. Furthermore, there is an anti-foreigner strain that gained a little steam under the Trump Presidency. History is rife with anti-immigrant sentiment and the USA is no exception. There was a discussion back in the…… Continue reading Lapham’s Quarterly: Foreigners
Life After Life – Raymond Moody
Although I no longer believe in religion I remain a spiritual person always looking for evidence, for answers. I try to find these answers in multiple ways and have found one common thread throughout is meditation. Meditation at first blush seems like something esoteric from the orient. But what I’ve found is that it is…… Continue reading Life After Life – Raymond Moody
The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization – Peter Zeihan
Reading this book reminded me of another business book that made just as much of a splash twenty years ago but preached the opposite. The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman spoke of erasing borders, a level playing field for the entire world where international economic cooperation would increase efficiency and drive down price. This…… Continue reading The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization – Peter Zeihan
Mysteries of the Unknown – Search for the Soul
Other researchers – literal-minded scientists – decided after elaborate experimentation that wherever it lurks in life, the soul must exist, for at death there is an infinitesimal but measurable weight loss representing its departure from the body. I’m not so sure about this idea. I would think that energy, or whatever the spirit or soul…… Continue reading Mysteries of the Unknown – Search for the Soul
Journal Entry – 11.29.2022
It is 4:05 AM on Tuesday November 11th, 2022. We’ve just returned from a Thanksgiving week in Ohio. This trip was spent almost entirely in either my parent’s or sisters residence with the kids playing games (sometimes Fortnite with adults), wine drinking and eating. The weather was partly due to the reason for staying in…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.29.2022
