Zayin and Happy Juneteenth!
Zayin, ז, is the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It looks like Vau with backwards baseball cap. Zayin means sword weapon (we-a-pon or we ap(p) on) in Hebrew and is shaped like a sword. It has ‘blade’ Vau ו and a hilt. It is wielded and willed by the heart governed by brain, with…… Continue reading Zayin and Happy Juneteenth!
Anatomy of a Fentanyl Overdose
My son’s sweet childhood friend is currently in the hospital – brain dead on life support. While his heart is beating and skin is warm, he’s in a suspended state of “feeling” with no discerning brain. Without that – his e-motions are gone. No passions can arise; he but receives from outside. You could think…… Continue reading Anatomy of a Fentanyl Overdose
Re-silience (“resilience”)

A response to the prompt, “What is school for?”

We did have Latin, Greek,…… Continue reading A response to the prompt, “What is school for?”
“Love”
***** Love, L-O-V-E, is a sensation of coherence experienced when Vau, our inner heart’s being, is aligned and strong- with another’s heart chakra- be it baby or lover. Love is sparked by locality- being in a physical room together- and touch is involved. * L-O-V-E is Lamed- Samech (ס for O) shape but in English,…… Continue reading “Love”
Peace
“Peace Now” “Give Peace a Chance!”, “Peace on Earth” without specifics, these declarations make me wince. They are so non-specific as “peace” can look like anything. Please consider[1]this. What bugs you anyway? That you might pick another’s cause distracts you (not that that’s bad, just different choice of focus). Peace, as I have experienced it in my…… Continue reading Peace
