Science made me believe in a god. It’s true. And I was a diehard skeptic about science. My disillusionment with the subject began mere minutes after I cracked the spine of my first elementary school science textbook. The teacher explained that we’d be doing scientific experiments, and I was...

I have a tendency to drift through life. Things happen. I react. It has not been bad. Good things have happened and i've reacted, for the most part, positively. There were some really crummy times too when I got  knocked down, but I got up again. (Now I'm going to have that Chumbawamba song in...

I thought I’d be enlightened by now.  I don’t mean that metaphorically as in: “I imagined that with age would come a certain wisdom.”  No, I fully expected the sitting in the lotus position-on-a-mountain-top type enlightenment, the mantra-chanting-vibrating-with-the-universal-life-force...

October 16   HIDE AND SEEK    I have sought You high and low, but like the rain, You have always found me.  I, like a cold, wet cat on a winter’s day, peer into warm lit windows hoping You will be home.  I seek, to keep me moving.  You find me for some unknown reason.  I have given up naming You. ...
