The Key (A Fairytale) — Chapter 3: Broken Wings (Part 2) The next morning I discovered a dull ax behind the cottage that I sharpened to a razor's edge.

The Key (A Fairytale) — Chapter 2: Ariya (Part 4) A few weeks passed by with no further sign of Ariya, as I continued this strange quest for a mystical key.

Why People Lie to Us Lying is a kind of "get out of jail free" card. We can do bad things, lie about them, and we're off the hook. Or it seems that we are. But really, we're just setting the hook deeper as we begin to believe that we can get away with almost anything... ( added 221 days 21 hours ago.)

The Kindness That’s Inherently Obama Of all the things in the world that we can think of, kindness is the one that cuts through all barriers.

What is Our Soul? Ask anyone about the soul and more often than not, you will get a blank stare, or the soul might be explained as a spirit, a part of God, our basic being, or our true essence. But there has never been a good, logical explanation. So here goes!... ( added 227 days 11 hours ago.)

Stress Relief Without Drugs — Walking Meditation Walking meditation can be done in many ways and for many purposes, but I have found this technique to be outstanding in relieving stress.

The Key (A Fairytale) — Chapter 1: One More Journey (Part 2) My father timidly put his hand on my shoulder. "I am sorry that I have not been able to make you happy, Son. I have tried.

The Key (A Fairytale) — Chapter 1: One More Journey (Part 1) The sound of pacing reverberated throughout the high spire, echoing along the halls of the upper chambers. I stopped pacing only long enough to gaze longingly at the valley below, slowly, from one end to the other. This precious kingdom that would... ( added 231 days 11 hours ago.)

Sell That SUV? What exactly are we supposed to do? We hear about change all the time, but instead of motivating us to do something, our politicians only know how to complain - with few real solutions. I'm afraid that it is up to us to make the moves, not our... ( added 232 days 22 hours ago.)

The Most Dangerous Relationships – Three Signs When we fall in love, we are blinded from these three signs. This is Mother Nature's way of making sure that babies happen!

Happiness Guaranteed How can anyone guarantee happiness? Well, they can't. But we can. We can guarantee our own happiness. In order to do that, however, we must first eliminate those things that make us unhappy. So let's get started. First, think about what makes... ( added 236 days 23 hours ago.)

How to Untangle Fishing Line — and Our Lives When I was just a little tyke, way before spin-cast type fishing reels, we had to put up with basket type reels.

If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him! Many Zen sayings cause a double take. At first, they seem pretty far out and ridiculous, but when their deeper meanings are explained, and better yet actually experienced, profound personal transformations can result. It is natural for anyone... ( added 240 days 12 hours ago.)

Why Politics and Religion Don’t Mix Christ and the Buddha were wise men; they never talked about politics.
