Visualizing

Oftentimes when listening (e.g., during a seminar, a simple conversation, to a speaker, etc.), I visualize one aspect of what is being said and turn it into an essay. For instance, when overhearing a conversation about canoeing or kayaking on the American River, I immediately envision a scene, title it, and can go on in essay form in my mind. Weird? AK.

THE VIRTUE OF HUMILITY

THE VIRTUE OF HUMILITY

Mary Cook, M.A., R.A.S.



Humility is not self-deprecation, impoverishment, shame or humiliation. It is not codependence, inferiority or passivity. Neither is it lack of personal caretaking or responsibility. Humility is recognizing that we see a tiny fraction of ourselves and life, and that everything is much greater than our physical senses and human awareness indicate. Humility is believing there is a deeper dimension in spirit, and that higher… Continue

New Direction for Time Square NYE Ball Drop

President Obama has asked N.Y. City officials and Mayor Bloomberg to reverse the direction of the ball drop and instead have the ball go up to usher in the new year. The president suggested the change as a "symbol of uplifting momentum for the economy". The mayor quickly agreed and said "All New Yorkers would be happy to assist in this important initiative to more our economy forward." The mayor was asked how many jobs would be created by changing the direction of the lighted ball, "Well, in… Continue

Faith of the Condemned

At the behest of the German government, more than six million Jews were systematically exterminated, in addition to at least four million additional "undesirables," including Roma, homosexuals, political prisoners, Russians, criminals, the mentally challenged, etc.



Consider the plight of European Jews. They were not expelled from society, forced to change their religion or given an injection to speed their way into a painless death. Deemed an “inferior race,” they were… Continue

NAILS, A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

One has not truly experienced life until visiting a pawn shop. It is a cultural experience worth the time. The thing I found most striking on my first visit was the number of wedding rings in the glass case which also served as a counter. I can only imagine the heartaches behind each one of them.

When I was in junior and senior high school, every summer was spent working with my father. He was a licensed general contractor who did smaller jobs in a metropolitan area. Sometime during the… Continue
