History is a look back, a reflection of what has already happened, that can rarely be interpreted objectively. The hope is to achieve a coherent, articulate understanding that makes sense. A balanced approach putting together images and events experienced into an impression, also a basis for making reasonable choices that effect the way the future [...]

Chosen to argue the optimistic aspects of the current financial collapse at Harvard Law School, I was hard pressed to find something positive to orate,  not knowing anything about Economics and finding the subject incredibly boring. One consolation at the very least, it would be unnecessary to go to the library for research. Enough information [...]

What happens after death is perhaps akin to speculating about black holes (or the current stock market), something now thought to be at the center of every galaxy. What they may  contain is at present, unknowable, and a reminder that time, although infinite, is also finite, the reflection of mortality.
The reason it’s called a black [...]

There is nothing worse than an omelet with egg shells in what should be a wonderful mix of variety: mushrooms, onions, peppers or cheese gently cradled within the perfect enclosure.

Social commentary has often been at the center of many films. Morality, insight, wisdom gained from choice, all common themes while reviewing the extensive library of cinematic history. Especially unique are the holiday films involving the myth of St. Nicholas, known by many names in different cultures as Santa Claus or Papa Noel, El Espiritu [...]

I was walking on a deserted street while reminiscing of the day when the party invite arrived mysteriously under my front door. It came with no return address, ornately engraved in  deep maroon calligraphy, scripted from some unknown source on yellow, time warn paper. A weekend masquerade party catered at a country estate, perhaps like [...]

There are very few subjects that evoke the same kind of emotional reactions as the final outcome. Fear of the unknown, of the potential pain and suffering lurking in the background increases as cycles pass knowing that finiteness is inevitable especially when a close shave with death forces the subject to become a source of [...]

Karma, understood as a relationship between cause and effect, reflects action and reaction by defining the laws that govern the energies of attraction and/or repulsion between entities, without judgment. Reincarnation gifts humanity with many lifetimes which means more experiences to learn and an increased opportunity for all the forces involved to fulfill their cosmic order.
