The Release Valve

There’s a difference between a release valve and a redistribution mechanism. Sounds obvious when it’s written, but in practice it’s not the same. For example having taken on a week’s worth of work hassles and pressures on the job, some look forward to the end of the week having a drink or two (or more). […]

It Should Be Fun Too

Man alive, people can get really serious at times. Considering the beauty of creation, it doesn’t give me the impression that things are supposed to be all that serious. Wonder, amazement, joy and delight as part of life should not be rare. Tough things happen, sure. Responsibilities, of course, shouldn’t be taken glibly. There is […]

Catching Up On Some Things

It is the world some live in. There is an incessant machine churning. It’s the machine of life that tells you to get up, get changed, get everyone sorted, get to work, get the job done, get home, get everyone sorted, get to bed, get some sleep to get up and start the whole thing […]

We sat down and talked about it. Twenty years is a long time. A long time where a lot happens. A lot happening some of which is worth remembering. Worth remembering because of what it says about the journey you’ve made to this point. A point where those things can be of use to remind […]

Don’t Mess: Value the Blessing

The episodes in the text really reflect the human condition. So there’s one about the twins. The first one came out red in look and turned out to be a  hunter. The second one that came out tended to grasp at things, like the heel of his brother, and turned out to prefer shepherding. They’re […]

Who We Are and What We Do

If I follow certain narratives of history, I could get the impression that it was easier back in the day. Who is he? He catches fish. Oh so he’s a fisherman. Yeah. And that’s how it will be for the rest of his life. He’ll be rough and coarse and used to the struggle because […]

What You’re Entertaining

They say it’s harmless. They say there’s nothing to it. It’s just a bit of fun they say. That works for them. Apparently ignorance is bliss, so what they don’t know won’t hurt them. Meanwhile that which they entertain makes subtle incisions into the mindset. Perhaps some things that were clearly unacceptable appear to be […]
