It came in the form of this brilliant and poignant article, first published in the NYTimes: July 26, 2011. ’nuff said really. A FEW days ago, before the bombing here and the shootings [...]

I loved this article. It is rather long, but keep at it – happily some sacred cows get the chop! A friend of mine who is a high school counselor told me recently that some of the children she worked with were worried about or even terrified by the prophecies surrounding December 21, 2012; the [...]

The belief system behind the piece is not my own – but the place in the author’s heart from which it is written, touches me. . . . .
