When you doubt what it true – that God exists and is good and people are basically good and life is important and good and that everything turns out OK in the end – that just means that you cannot concieve of a way to reconcile what you are seeing with all those things you’ve been told to believe in.

Let me tell you a few things about the Christian book/music/entertainment industry: 1. It works just like the rest of the publishing/music/entertainment industry. 2. It is a system which grants power, money and influence to a very few while the majority of people God has gifted struggle to get anyone to even LOOK at the fruits of their gifts. 3. It works 100% according to the … Continue reading The Sheeple are Leading the Flock!

I hope my children take the time to stand looking at the wall and read the whole thing every now and then. Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and … Continue reading Desiderata

That means each of us has the potential to be a portal between worlds. So never think that any loving action, thought or intention is unimportant. No matter how small, these are the things which … Continue reading A Cool Thought

An edited version of this essay is included in my recently published book The Upside Down World ~ A Book of Wisdom in Progress: For years I considered myself a conservative and probable Republican. However, over the last few years I have watched first with alarm, then with disgust and now with anger as the conservative movement has given itself over to lies, manipulation and … Continue reading Hatred of the poor and the Party of God
