The Space of Choice
Houses get dusty, people grow old, machines break, men destroy, and everything that lives dies.
Yet, people build, and plant, and create. Children are born, and the world changes and grows in beautiful, new, and exciting ways.
Both are true.
The world is dying, and the world is growing and unfolding.
Life is full of [...]

For a while, I’ve thought about including an occasional review on this blog.
Recently, someone approached me suggesting that I review Sound Health, Sound Wealth by Dr. Luanne Oakes.

Childhood’s End?
“Stop fooling around!”
Did you ever hear that from a parent or a teacher?
Maybe you ignored it and got into trouble.
Or, more likely, you eventually listened, and stopped.
But that wasn’t the end of your desire to play.
You probably still like to play in some way.
Although you probably don’t call it play, except when you play [...]
