Welcome to all:

The following are words and essays relating to a whole spectrum of ideas. Some thoughts are original; some are taken from things read or heard; some are imaginary; but most reflect thoughts believed or experienced. This will be an on-going project.

May the universe smile down upon you, and may your life be filled with blessings.

Be happy (but be aware).
