IN THE AFTERLIFE
No, no, this isn’t a preachy sermon about how you should prepare for life after death. Well actually, this is about that except its not your afterlife I’m asking you to prepare for, but for those you leave behind. Life has no surety. Death, however, is a certainty.

Expectations and Illusions About The Self: Why Sometimes It Pays To Eat Dirt
Hola, amigos! I’m back after a long hiatus from blogging to pontificate on pride and its follies. I’m not sure if I’ll keep coming back to blogging or this is just a one-off thing because I needed to vent. Either way, I’m writing tonight and I wondered if some of you felt the same way…

Dragonfly Watching
Nature always amazes me. Look how carefully it has crafted this exquisite creature! Delicate wings that feel like wisps of air stretched onto a web of veins, a round ball for a head carefully attached to its body, and that beautiful, beautiful tail.
