Funny thing about taking action, sometimes it’s best not to. In many lines of work and human endeavor otherwise, we’re primed to be proactive, to anticipate, to be assertive… Perhaps a more sound fundamental approach is to be first simply forward thinking.

The Power of Voice
If your voice didn’t have power, they wouldn’t try to silence you. Truth. Speak up. NOW.
All that jazz
Jazz is sort of become my thing, often on, especially on Sundays on, Since my dad passed several years back, he was a jazz guy, makes me feel more connected to him and his memory, so many aspects, so many subgenre within the art form, I love, hearing particular, rips, splendid, in woven, built into …

Stumble On To Tragic Holy
I’ve seen this picture, didn’t know the story until now, This Buddhist monk who set himself on fire and burned to death to protest his government at the time, Would that every human can feel such certainty, Would that the governments of our world will not let this happen again, It’s been sixty years…we are …
