Thank you Bobby
Recently I suffered a serious romantic setback that left me feeling betrayed, not only by the woman involved but by the very concept of unique romantic love. Even more importantly, it made me question my commitment to values like truth, honor and integrity. It made me ask, as so many of us have done in similar circumstances, whether anything really mattered.
I just listened to Bobby Darrin singing his “Simple Song of Freedom” and those doubts were resolved. The flame in my heart may have seemed extinguished but enough of an ember remained for that song to bring the blaze that keeps me going roaring back. At least with respect to my love of social values.
Thank you Bobby.

Reflections as Another Year Drifts into the Pile of Memories
Scotland, Will it really be the Brave?
Divinity’s Muse
Divinity’s Muse
I feel a divine energy emanating from a source outside the dimensions we understand, from a completely non-anthropomorphic but all-encompassing, all-inclusive source, but one that while omnipresent is neither omniscient nor omnibenevolent, a source that despite its domains of infinity and the part of eternity that’s already evolved, is itself growing, evolving, learning through trial and error, through us and for us. A vulnerable source but in its utter neutrality and passivity, ignorant of the concept of insecurity, other than as expressed by us and by our brethren among the universes that make up the multiverse.
I hear echoes and wonder whether, as the Hindu believe, divinity is at once singular and infinite. It would make a great deal of sense; and then I ask myself whether or not, as logic would lead one to conclude, there aren’t a number of sentient links between us.
Or, as my sons believe, are such echoes merely vacuous hopes, not even shadows, but just wishful aspirations, inspired by the doppelgänger of a divine muse some of us long to hear?
