A place for thought-provoking conversations
The past few days I got to spend time with a really good friend. I haven’t known them for long, but it’s one of those people that, although you haven’t known known for years, it feels like you have.

I haven’t written for over a month, almost 2 months, and I’m fully aware of this. I’ll just be transparent to whoever is reading this and say it’s because I really haven’t felt like writing. But I have my reason for this, too. In short, life is weird. I don’t really know how to say…

I want to talk about something that’s definitely going to get some differing opinions of those on the Christianity side, but has been on the forefront of my mind for quite a bit of time, as of recently. What is it? Tantric Buddhism. Now, I’m sure I’m going to get some things wrongs, especially if…

I want to write about a curious thing that happened to me the other day. These past few days, since last Friday actually, I have been feeling quite tired. And I mean that in a literal and metaphysical sense. I was, indeed, quite tired, as I wasn’t getting enough sleep. In fact, the total hours…
Read MoreI wrote this on Quora, but I thought I’d share it on my blog, as I think the message here is quite powerful. Here it is, Do you pictures speak louder than words? Yes. Pictures do speak louder than words, generally speaking, but I don’t think that has much do with the lack of power…
