When I read the news or turn on the TV I don’t really want to know all the details of beheadings, attacks and killings. I can’t get away from it though. It’s everywhere, it’s sad and I pray for all affected. No one should have to experience such horrific events. Yet they do because there…

I’m sad today for a number of reasons. Tension has escalated with a bomb thrown into groups of protestors. Things are turning more violent. I have no idea who is behind the bomb or who is behind the protests. It’s your word against mine. I am also sad for other private reasons I’d rather not…

Sitting in my study looking out the window, I am still thinking about “The Descendants” I wrote about yesterday. That movie was about a man, a successful lawyer and a land baron who had devoted all his time to his career, to making money only to later realize he had “lost” his family. Although his…

As summer is coming to an end in the northern hemisphere, I thought about summers past. Then an interesting thought came to mind. Memories that I remember most vividly from childhood usually occur in the summer or involved something new, something unexpected. Why summer? Why do memories from these two to three months a year…

The other day I had a chance to go to a temple unlike others in that the monk does not simply chant the buddhist prayers during the funeral, but instead he’ll spend roughly half an hour teaching us some of the philosophies in plain language for all to understand. I think it’s great and I…

Today I read an interesting article in the New York Times entitled “What’s Your Biggest Regret?” it’s interesting that one should study about it, but I suppose to learn and understand human behaviour, we have to take surveys and see what others feel. Interestingly, the most common regreat among American adults involves a lost romantic…
