It's spring, March 27th, 2022. I'm on my daily walk down Park Centre Drive and see my favorite birds behaving strangely. Though not really. They do this from time-to-time - congregate. Sometimes in a tree, other times in a field. Even on a road. This behavior has been called "Magpie funerals". I wonder why … Continue reading Magpie Convention

Border Wars
A border war is what is happening now between Ukraine and Russia. A war about boundaries. However that's not all. It's also a cultural war. And a war of personalities - like a marriage/divorce. In other words - this is complicated. Ant War. Why? is what I saw some fifty years ago (1979) on my … Continue reading Border Wars
A Bridge Too Far
A bridge too far is a movie, based on a book, based on a true, failed military operation during World War Two. We (the world) might be in a similar situation today. Regarding the war in Ukraine. However, I have a possible solution. The Day Of The Bridge is November Seventeenth. This comes from the … Continue reading A Bridge Too Far
Man’s Search For Meaning
is ongoing and is getting to be a very crowded space. However, this post is mostly concerned with Viktor Frankl's best selling book about the World War Two Holocaust. In addition Frankl's Logotherapy. My provider, a clinical Psychologist, suggested I read this book. Because well lately, things have been grim. What follows are my thoughts, … Continue reading Man’s Search For Meaning
Resistance to Truth
is almost always because of threat. Real or imagined to one's well-being. Naturally. Well-being being with regard to ones's health. Meaning ones's state of: 1) physical; 2) mental; 3) psychological; 4) emotional; 5) social; 6) economic. Anyone or all. Unfortunately the truth varies. There is short-term truth and long-term truth. In the short-term truth often … Continue reading Resistance to Truth
I see only what I want to see
Is lyrics to a song suggested to me via Spotify. Because I watched another 'suggestion' via YouTube. That was Jewel's live performance at Woodstock 99 of her first hit Who Will Save Your Soul. Situational depression is a state of mind I find myself in from time to time. And I was experiencing one at my … Continue reading I see only what I want to see

Creeping Toward Oblivion
is what I'm doing. All of us are (even the 1%). We resist and seek relief - honestly or dishonestly. Knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously. We do this passively or actively via self-promotion with the goal being self-preservation. The Avenue or path, or road, are many. And our unique journey will vary. It could … Continue reading Creeping Toward Oblivion
Crisis Intervention: Why George Floyd Died?
is the ultimate question the trial of Derek Chauvin is attempting to answer. However, the trial won't even come close. I've been watching (via CSPAN 2, i.e.sans commentary). He Was Murdered is the State's argument. In essence that case is: We (= the Minneapolis Police Department) are good, and the individual (= Officer Derek Chauvin) … Continue reading Crisis Intervention: Why George Floyd Died?
