The other day, my mother went to visit a friend. She said when she got out of the train station, she couldn't remember how to get to the house so she asked for directions. She was given a long-winded direction. She reckoned she walked about 2 miles. Fortunately, she found a quicker route back to the station.
"Two miles, hey? I'm impressed," I said.
"I can't believe I walked that far," she said. "At least it was good exercise."
"Well, remember that was then and this is now," I said. "There's no reason why walking should have any effect on who you are now unless you believe it should." More >

Before I went to bed last night I had a stomach cramp. I figured I'd just go to sleep and it will sort itself out. In the middle of the night I woke up and was doubled up in pain. It was time to resolve the situation. I thought to myself "I'm feeling good; I feel love." The Donna Summer song "I Feel Love" came to mind which I hummed. I felt the tension being released from my stomach and I felt good. More >

While I was chatting to a friend he asked me if I wanted to see a trick.
"Go on then," I said, "I love tricks!"
He took an elastic band from the desk and then hid his hands under the desk to hide the elastic in one hand. I knew he was expecting me to guess which hand it was in. I was determined to win by influencing my friend's decision. I expected the elastic band to be in his right hand. More >

"The more things change the more they stay the same." -- Quark
Times, they are changing. Today America voted its first black American president.
I see Obama's election from two perspectives, however: from the dream and from Reality.
What do I mean by the dream? I believe all forms and ideas are inherently empty i.e. they are free of concepts, beliefs and meanings. For instance if I hear a dog barking, I can either hear it as a dog barking, or I can make up reasons why the dog is barking. I experience that meaning in my own consciousness. Life is what I believe it means for me. In other words, I'm constantly making things up as I go along and joining with like-minds who share my meanings. When I'm making things out of nothing, I am dreaming. More >

I was speaking to my mother about learning to touch-type. She said after she finished school she attended a technical college where she was taught to touch-type on a manual typewriter. She said their teacher made them master particular keys before they moved on to the next and the next.
"At least you had the luxury of time to learn," I said. "I actually learned to touch-type in about four hours."
"That's amazing! How?"
"I borrowed a friend's typing manual and learned from there." More >
