It has been a decade or so since I first read this book. I’ve been meaning to re-read it for the past couple of years as I remembered it had some interesting information that I wanted to highlight and record in this journal and hadn’t done so before. This atlas shows San Francisco in times…… Continue reading Infinite City – A San Francisco Atlas

It is 3:52 AM on Thursday, October 19th, 2023. It has been a while since I’ve written this early. I’m up on the 2nd story in my reading nook at the standing desk overlooking the street.

Journal Entry – 10.1.2023
It is 9:00 AM on October 1st, 2023. This is the start of the holiday season which is always a wonderful time.

The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation
I grew up Catholic as that was the religion of my family, of my Grandparents, of their parents and so on. However, after traveling and discovering the world, especially from my time in Spain, a bastion of Catholicism, I began to question that belief. I now hold no religion or dogma but am always searching.…… Continue reading The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation
Indigenous Continent: The Epic Contest for North America
I’m fascinated with ancient history. I love to read articles that uncover something from thousands of years ago which, with recent technology has been happening more often. From my educational experience I feel as though I only learned history back to the Roman Empire and what I learned was always through a western lens. Technology…… Continue reading Indigenous Continent: The Epic Contest for North America
