The Tribe That Hides from Man (1970) A Note of Caution: The indigent subjects of this movie don’t wear clothes, with the exception of those who have been “civilized,” for want of a better word. Expect to experience nudity, although it appears to be the most natural thing. Huh! Also, they have no qualms about [...]

“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” ~Chicken Little~ “Naw. It ain’t the sky. That’s just a chip off the Mayan Calendar.” ~Two-Bit Guru~ There’s been a lot of speculation lately about If the world will end on December 21, but I haven’t heard these Mayan calendar predictions say much about How. Since thinkers [...]
Many different teachers have come to me in many different forms or guises, sometimes remaining in my life for years and years, other times only for a few moments. I have learned from people, animals, plants, supposedly inanimate objects, and the universe. You probably get the idea that I’m not big on the One-and-Only Teacher [...]
When I was in my early 20′s I worked in a research lab where I met a man named Elmer, the most unique inventor I have ever known. He was something of a magician when it came to creating all sorts of innovative devices, gizmos, gadgets, machines, whatever. I self-appointed Elmer as my mentor because [...]
In my last post I ventured into the fascinating area of science on the edge, either the edge of discovery or the edge of foolishness, depending on one’s point of view.

Once death sets in, your earthly reality is pretty much shot. The [...]
What is it about seedlings that raises a surge of delight the moment you realize those little seeds have successfully sprouted? It’s probably the same thing that causes us to go ooooh when we see kittens, and talk silly to babies. I started broccoli seeds about 10 days ago, on a Saturday, and by Thursday [...]
Last Sunday night the Mothership ride was a more-than-interesting trip, indeed. As host Dobie Maxwell would say, there was a good vibe. Good vibe, good energy, good chemistry. I had originally intended to do part of the first hour but ended up staying until the flight was over at midnight. I’m glad I did. Guest [...]
“Remember to play after every storm!” Mattie Stepanek If you’ve read my previous Creating Your Own Reality posts you probably agree that at least some of the time and in some ways we can influence and dramatically effect our reality. I’m going to make a bold statement and say that every moment of our lives [...]
If you read my most recent past post you know that I have little enthusiasm for New Year’s resolutions. Hope is another matter. I do have two hopes for the new year. At the very least, hope makes us feel better when we’ve got a headache (hope in pharmaceuticals), when we’ve lost our wallet (hope [...]
