Wow. It’s been awhile hasn’t it. I haven’t wrote on here in close to 3 months, and I find that crazy. But what’s there to say now? Should I catch you all up on what’s been going on in my life? Hmmm. I think not. Rather, I want to just share a few words of…

I’ve just finished up the book, Island, by Aldous Huxley, and I’ve gotta say, it’s been one of the most thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time, possibly since the last Huxley book I read, A Brave New World, which I wrote a post about that here: A Brave New World.

**Warning. Long post ahead** It’s quite odd to write about a book that was written nearly a century ago, 1932 to be exact, and it still be very much relevant today, and possibly, increasingly relevant as we continue on into the future. And, you might ask, what do I mean? Well, one thing I’ve found…
