Oh, The Paths We Can Choose

February 26, 2016 by Alice Leave a Comment

My mind often drifts down these unmethodical rabbit holes. Sometimes I come out with a new thought, sometimes I confuse myself further. And, although, I believe, thoughts are never ending (since new information can always change its course), I like to pin them down long enough to write about them…before they begin to shift again. … [Read more…]

Stand Up Or Stand Back

I was not a fan of Beyonce…. Now, bear with me here, I promise this isn’t a negative post. I’m just not a fan of her work, other than 1 or 2 songs, maybe. This doesn’t make me a “hater”, I just have my tastes and she doesn’t fit my personal criteria. But I also … [Read more…]

Think Different

February 5, 2016 by Alice Leave a Comment

When I meet someone for the first time, usually, in westerns society, one of the first questions I’m asked is “what do you do?” As if this will tell the person everything they need to know about me. For years, I’ve worked towards having an answer to that question that makes me proud. Now whether … [Read more…]

Love Is Love

I have written a similar post about this topic here, but I wanted to revisit this from a different perspective. You’ll also notice both of my quotes are from the movie Ender’s Game. That wasn’t really planned, I just stumbled upon these quotes and found them extremely relevant and they both happen to be from … [Read more…]

The Self in Nature – By, Alan Watts

January 7, 2016 by Alice Leave a Comment

From The Book: On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (1966): Most of us have the sensation that “I myself” is a separate center of feeling and action, living inside and bounded by the physical body — a center which “confronts” an “external” world of people and things, making contact through the senses with … [Read more…]

“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”
― Alan W. Watts
