Sobriety Today
I have been substance free for a little over two weeks if I do not count caffeine. I do not count caffeine. There are also my prescription psychiatric medications. But I haven’t had any alcohol or THC since two Mondays ago. That’s got to count for something.

Impersonal Unmanifest God
I search for a God above gods, for that being that is the source of all other being. Today I have had an epiphany of sorts about how the impersonal unmanifest God relates to mind and intelligence: The One Mind is eternal and all things proceed from and return to It. Approaching that principle of…

Wisconsin Animals
Do you ever see wild animals? I live in the middle of town in South Central Wisconsin. We have a lot of squirrels and rabbits. Our whole city has a diverse population of wild birds from sparrows and robins to hawks and bald eagles. On the edges of town we also have wild turkey and…

I Prefer Evenings
Are you more of a night or morning person? As I sit here and type at 4:40am, I contemplate not being able to stay asleep. When life allows it I like to sleep in most mornings. I am definitely more focused in the afternoon and evening. I don’t know if that makes me a night…
