Sometimes, change happens, not as a result of a cycle that drives the change, but as a chance encounter. Sometimes, change happens out of the chaos that is an integral part of the ordered cosmos.  An event can materialize out of the blue, with no prior notice, blindsiding us and careening us out into the vastness of...

As of mid June, things seem to be on the quiet side (other than the Brexit slamming world stocks into the ground).  The sun still shines its single point of light onto the world below (...for now).  The atmosphere is still a bright crystalline, shimmering azure blue (without those rose-colored glasses, I can't see anything...

(continued from Change:  The Three Faces of Change) Sometimes, I swear, I feel as if I'm living in a realm that has been semi-invaded by another realm. The veils between worlds are so thin now that I can almost catch movements of life forms all around me, fluttering and floating, darting here and there. This... Continue Reading →

(Continuation from Change:  Frames of Time) It is the start of a hot dry summer where I live.  The days are long and lazy; the mid-day sunshine casts a mottled, shade-drenched, water-color palette through the large lavender crepe myrtle tree, down onto the deep red roses which grow in profuse abundance all over my garden. My rambling two-story stucco is nestled on... Continue Reading →

(Continued from Following the NASA Money Trail) In a previous post, I talked about NASA's one-million dollar question: How would Christianity be impacted by the discovery of alien life? I did promise that I would do a I Ching divination to answer, in part, that question, but the summer afternoon was drenched with cascades of sunbeams, and old Sol was shimmering so...

One of my favorite activities is photography.  This is a picture that my brother took of me, 2 days ago when we were in freezing cold San Francisco (it's June, for heaven's sake!). I love taking pictures even though I'm not very good at it, but that's ok.  This is the classic sign of an artist.... Continue Reading →

(Continued from This Is Not a Test of the Emergency Broadcast System) If I want to see where things are headed and what is considered the hottest subject, I don't look at prime time TV news or mainstream news outlets. I follow the money trail that has been picked up by smaller magazines and radio... Continue Reading →

Change is the only constant in this world, and as a woman, I am entitled to change my mind at will.  I got tired of the blonde hair.  After spending half my life being blonde, I find being a brunette to be a refreshing and happy state of mind.  This is the end of the... Continue Reading →

  How do we tell the world that we've found alien life?   Before I delve into this crazy question, let me hasten to assure you that this is not a question that I, a bonafide card carrying Taobabe, would pose to the general public.  I would pose it differently, and for reasons that will be...
