There Are Several Reasons Not To Read This Post

Have you considered disconnecting instead? — Today, you are probably busy. Yesterday, you may have been less busy (or more busy), so there is that small dose of variety to liven up your week but in any case — you have things to do. You do not have time to be told what to think. Perhaps…

Something changes when we think things through. — I once met a man who told me that he found it strange when people did not cry during rainstorms. He found rain bleak, and saddening, and found himself sad whenever rain was falling, and although he did not cry himself he wanted to — “to let the feelings go…

You Are Your Own Blank Slate

If you blog, or tweet, or keep a journal, or write to friends regularly, or use email, then you probably know what it’s like to begin the process of writing your whatever with the slow, agonising search for a foundation. Maybe you go online, looking for inspiration. Or maybe you…
