The weak with the weak. The strong with the strong. How do you know which one you are? Are you sure? Up until when?  How can you truly guarantee? Sometimes, do we not feel weak due to sensing we are in the absence of strength? And, yet, do we feel strength thinking we are most definitely on the side of those strong? Does not commonality create strength and fortification regardless? What is…

Never judge a book by its cover. A clever twist from, “It is the heart One sees.”  I am starting to take note, while not as concrete, I handle books the way I handle people. Both people and books have titles to be found that allows one to determine further interest. Both people and books have essentially a synopsis to which what one has to offer can be figured out. Like interactions with…

Things aren’t always directly served at once to fully grasp. A lifetime. A promising journey. Life. Time. When broken apart, neither guarantees any promises of even tomorrow. Time allows one to process what to make of what is before them. Life is what you make of time given. Turning on the light switch provides all of a sudden, light. However, there is time needed to process as which…

Genuineness, purity, all that good stuff that is right?  The blind can’t see; the deaf can’t hear. Quite good reasons hindering one to fully grasp or understand the scope of what surrounds them. When one doesn’t see or hear, the challenge may be much more difficult to truly know. Those to be weary of? The ones who feel and know truth but rather, look the other way and pretend not to see or…

Ever look at something and see beyond what is in front of you? As if you get hints of what it shall become, most certain of your envisioning? And, yet, you learn to keep your silence because time has told you, perhaps no one will see it the way you do?

Ever look at something and see beyond what is in front of you? As if you get hints of what it shall become, most certain of your envisioning? And, yet, you learn to keep your silence because time has told you, perhaps no one will see it the way you do? I used the word, labyrinth, to describe trees throughout the world to another in trying to explain my thoughts on weather change. I saw that they…

Youth can do funny things with perception. If you can’t beat them, join them. I witness this full of youth mindset quite frequently in my years to observe as a teacher. Before one arrives to actually believe, if ever, the powerful mindset is actually, If you can’t lead them, leave them, there can be no teaching of such arrival to those just not ready to understand.  Reminiscing back to your…

Sometimes, when your back is against the wall or you feel imminent challenges coming your way, you need back-up in the battle. Id, Ego, and Superego can be there to help.

In looking back, there is not one part I’d like to go back to do over again. That’s just me. A memory is just that- one to remember, but not try and do over. Why? I believe we can only learn from our reflective thoughts but never be able to do over things exactly as we’d like it to happen. A regret is a perspective. The 2002 movie, Time Machine, reinforced this understanding I felt I already…

In times of unwarranted incidents, assume nothing as coincidence foremost, more costly to choose gullibility and think the latter.  To rule out all plausibilities, we must analytically scrutinize any tragic incident to conclude accidental, intentional, or, inevitable due to negligence? Let me be a fly on the wall who can be heard thinking out loud to suggest the following: In the recent…

Sometimes you arrive to remembering who believed in you…

You can be as close as to being perfectly good but, still, does not the bad and the ugly around feel the need to take you down, seeing and feeling you as a threat to their existence? If there can be no good, will not the bad and the ugly win? Contrarily, in the side of light, will not the bad and the ugly continuously be at work to try and ever gain victory just as long as the good…

There are those inspired by your valor while the rest cannot relate to such courage and will thus see only wrong between all your rights. Stoicism must be practiced while performed.

I learned very early that not all movies have a message to teach. My earliest recollection of going to the movies was when we were in the Philippines. Papa had let Mama choose one.  I don’t believe we even made it to a quarter of the movie. I recall Papa quite hastily leading me out from off our seats with Mama following beside.  Prior to us walking out, to which Mama showed no refusal, Papa…

Whether we receive from others or gift ourself, the purging of gifts collected in a lifetime may bring some interesting challenges. How we view a gift is perhaps the first step to determining what to let go.

Whether we receive from others or gift ourself, the purging of gifts collected in a lifetime may bring some interesting challenges. What a gift is, however, we must first delve into to understand.  A gift- g.iven i.ntentionally f.or t.hee. Until you have the means to healthily get things for yourself without losing control, receiving a gift is a rather less expensive alternative. In…

Undoubtedly, so many lessons to condense, after fifty years, I share here what my growing progress has acquired in random reflective order.

Fifty. That’s half a century. What do I say to thyself? I can only smile as I am filled with warmth of joy and found peace. I haven’t done so bad for myself. I have served well. Honestly. To look in the mirror without fear of the eyes that look back but rather smile- the soul is good. My memory serves of that somewhat mythical woman in my mind, the oldest in a village to whom all turn to, not…

If we fear our father, why is it we come to find in the end, it was these very fears that kept us straight? Could it be, his forewarns were right all along?

I was afraid of Papa. He placed fear in me.  At least this is how I thought to perceive my feelings at first. I feared my father. I felt and heard the Jiminy Cricket in me always asking if my next step was right whenever I found myself to be in a questionable predicament.  I could feel myself tremble from worry upon finding myself at a moment of uncertainty. I always wanted to be sure I was…

Artificial General Intelligence. General until superhuman. How do we ever get there? Venture capitalists acting as the angels to provide the fuel so the drivers in belief can keep pushing the team of workers with direction to all arrive to the celebration.  That’s my analogy, at least. The anticipated official co-head of D.O.G.E. suggests the superhuman will be achieved in just several years.…

We all fear. We just all don’t let fear control us. Some of us rather control our fears to a point that it answers to us. We can own fear. It does not have to own us.

…”the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”  Franklin D. Roosevelt went on to finish that line, however, to greater, meaningful extent- “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”  With this, I permissively summarize such powerful statements to suggest, Own the fear so victory shall rest on your side. As a child, anxiety knew…

I just want to have conversations with my own thoughts without outside worries. THAT simple, but challengingly attainable seek. And, yet, is not that type of peace a shallowness of our own selfishness to think that’s what we all want?

What peace means to one, I begin to fully grasp, doesn’t always resonate to be clear for all.  Quiet with not a worry in the world.  Surely, I would suppose the general answer that could be easily agreed upon.  Let’s not ignore the ubiquitous Miss Universe question, “If you could change anything in this world, what would it be?” You know that answer. World peace.  Of course, the final…
