My evolving philosophy on life, religion and profound subjects. Update 11.4.2018 This subject continues to be on my mind. This is important and something I want my descendants to understand so I thought it best to keep these thoughts in one post and perhaps one day bring them into one coherent essay.

Growing up in Golfview Woods – My Memoir
They say that old houses have memories and a distinct atmosphere created by the various inhabitants and what has occurred inside its walls over the decades.

It could be something material such as…… Continue reading Growing up in Golfview Woods – My Memoir
Quotes – Letters To A Young Poet – Rainer Maria Rilke
I was introduced to this poet by my friend Nga earlier this year. She asked if I had ever read Letters To a Young Poet after I had introduced her to The Tao of Pooh.

I’ve written about this in previous posts but 38 years old is exactly 20 years from being 18 and thus my 20 year high school reunion occurred this past October.…… Continue reading Journal entry – Check-in at 38
The Lonely Elderly
I’ve been thinking recently how lonely it must be for the elderly. I’m not speaking about how often family comes to visit or how much time they spend in a rest home. I’m speaking about their generation passing away and the life experience they shared passing away with them. I remember my Grandfather watching the…… Continue reading The Lonely Elderly
