A lack of evidence is not evidence of something lacking. Regardless of how informed we think we are, the fractal nature of life prevents us from ever knowing the past and interpreting what we think happened as a law.

Reverie – The desert of life or Alice and that pesky hole
We think we are at the top because we place ourselves there. The tree of life is not the right example. The tips of the branches beings the furthest does not mean it is the most advanced stage of the tree. Branches are cut often, the universe is really good at killing things that want …

Reverie – The importance of the story
Ancient myth is a building block of humanity. We tell stories so that we can pass on information. As time moves on, the context for the stories changes or disappear, making it easy for them to be dismissed as "those old silly stories." We have dismantled those stories one by one thanks to science. If …
Reverie – The talking stick
Some of our favorite characters of the last few years have been a rolling ball that beeps, a talking Stick that says one short phrase, and a sarcastically awesome anti-authority robot that was reprogrammed from being a now former authoritarian enforcer. We have yellow evil pills that get into shenanigans and do not speak. We …

A silly approach when the natives have something the Puritans do not, respect. Respect for the land and for the life. Respecting the life one …
Poem – The practice of killing law
It takes a lot of practice and training to use a gun properly It takes no experience to unleash physics and kill someone How often do you practice the art of not killing? How confident are you to place your family on the backside of a bullet? There is no such thing as friendly fire …
Reverie – The dangerous end of the rifle
I would enjoy knowing the number of times two nation's met and agreed to share the land. All this without coercion to force the other to come and sign the treaty by the dangerous end of the rifle barrel. How is it a treaty if one side has no voice in the matter? Where is …
Reverie – Questioning
Instead of "just say no," let us ask "why?" Shouldn't you decide the way the world is through observations and experiences? Otherwise, you are a blank chalkboard. The only drug denied to you is knowledge. Eat the apple, the Creator put it there for a reason. The test is whether you willing are to trust.
