A New Green Deal
The very serious nature of our current economic situation is not lost on many people, especially those of us putting all our chips on green so to speak.

The Power and Principle of Destiny
Destiny is the ultimate end of a thing. Destiny is "established purpose". In other words, destiny is the final address of your life. Put differently, destiny is the finished line of the race that you are running. Destiny is the desired result, that is, the result that is desired by a source.

In love with life
I find it actually quite refreshing - this childlike ability in grown men, this sense of wonder, this playfulness, this ability to find delight in the corniest of things, this gift of looking at the brighter side when life gets gloomy. It is that tiny pocket in time and space where one may revert to a state of youthfulness in order to unload the... (read more)
