Can We Create a World of Better Thinkers?
I am interested in gaining knowledge, and then through this knowledge insight and wisdom. I know i don’t know much, even what i think i do know i am not fully sure i know. A nice word salad for you. So, I’ve been thinking about thinking. The best methodology of thinking, in my opinion, is […]
What is love ?
What is falling in love but a leap of faith into the unknown, letting go and fully giving yourself to another? Or throwing down our defenses and opening ourselves up for either a form of ecstasy or brutal pain. A strange thing to do when you think about it, each and every one of us […]

The purple flower smiled up at me. Looking down at the flower I knew it had only recently bloomed into existence, so new to life. I held its delicate petal with a few of my callused fingers, so gentle, so soft and welcoming to the touch. The universe creates such beauty to be observed, to […]

“We humans are like waves, imperfect perfection. Rising and failing. Before returning from where we came. “ M L Wood I penned these words some time ago, as I was sitting on a beach watching the waves crash before me. The beauty and power of the ocean is both terrifying and majestic, akin I would […]
The Tree & The River
“The tree is oh so envious of the river. It flows so elegantly past, all day. Yet, the tree does not know. The river envies the tree. Watching it sway so eloquently, blooming into life throughout the seasons.” The Growth Philosophy
