The Man and His Soul
What is a man’s soul but a collection of all he has known, seen or heard. The metaphysical umbrella that is “him”. Yet, also, what is not him. The soul is what man could be, will be and all of the previous generations that have come before, wrapped neatly into a bag of bones that…

Play – The Forgotten Artform
I’m sure you’ve been around someone who has scoffed at the sight of another adult playfully being “immature” or “goofing around” and, if you’re like me, you too may have felt strange. I love to see it, play is an integral part of being a human and I say the more we play, the better…

Embracing Love In A Time Of Fear
As a civilization I have been feeling as if we are at the precipice for sometime and the beginning of a new dawn is upon us. I could never quite put my finger on these feelings. A shift in global consciousness perhaps? Maybe we all shifted into a parallel universe in 2012 when the Mayans…
