Off we go into the wild blue yonder. Into the yonder. It is fascinating what effect words can have on us. When I think of the yonder, I think of the unknown, of that territory I cannot see, even in my mind's eye. The yonder does not include the ne...

Having it all. All I want is all there is. Is that asking too much? Is that greed? I sure hope not, because I believe that if we don't live in the idea of the abundance of life, then we court scarcity.

The larger the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its direction. This is a law of physics.

Heart on your sleeve? Then I guess my body wears my heart on its arm. My emotions tend to manifest themselves outwardly in my physical body. Anxieties, fears, and worries tend to settle as back pain and shoulder pain.

I have been thinking quite a bit about interstices lately. (Yeah, I know. I have to get out more. Be that as it may....)

Power means control, and a sense of powerlessness means a feeling of a lack of control.
We all love control. We love the idea we can control our lives, and even more, we love the idea that we can control the lives and actions of others.
