It is with sadness that I must say that Sophia will be stopping her blogs. For those of you who do not know Sophia, I reccommend that you visit her sites and read through her posts: http://spiritual-university.blogspot.com/ http://visionsoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Sophia is one of a kind and her posts and insights will be greatly missed..... Even though

Some days, I don’t have any thoughts becauseit’s already too crowded in there ….How about you? Have you ever tried to enter your brain room and be told at the door that due to overcrowding, from those pesky, annoying little thoughts, you are not allowed entrance at this time? Do you ever get that crowded feeling within your own mind?:)

I love to wake up early and listen to the birds chirping before the sunrise. This is nature at its finest, purest moment as far as I am concerned. As a matter of fact, it’s now 4am and I already hear some birds chirping…. a full two hours before the sun rises!Somehow, though, I don’t think this is what the movie theaters had in mind when they came up with the slogan, “Early Bird Matinee”!:)

You are such a wonderful person....Life with you is like a day at the beach … perfect weather, family and friends are there; playing in the water, grilling and joking around… at the beach with a light breeze on a warm sunny summer day.Life doesn’t get any better….THEN, suddenly, out of nowhere, a thunderstorm rolls in and within a minute, all hell breaks out and everything changes…. the rain

"Philosophy begins with wonder, and even now it is wonder that causes philosophers to philosophize. At first they wondered about the obvious difficulties and then they gradually progressed to puzzle about the greater coming to be of the universe. Whoever is puzzled and in a state of wonder believes he is ignorant .... (and begins to Philosophize) ....."Aristotle, Metaphysics, 1.2 982b.:)

A recent survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life reveals that the more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists. (it also found out that people unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it!)According to the survey, white Evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is

America claims to be the melting pot of the world and in many ways, this is true as it probably has the most diverse population of any country on earth. However, from my own personal experiences, it is more like a boiling pot and its boiling over! With speeches of hate, prejudice and fear of foreigners being sprouted on a daily basis by politicians, religious “leaders” and resentful

Ok, now that the holiday seasons are over, now that 2008 has given way to 2009 and everyone is back to their normal routines, its time to MOVE ON! Take the time now to look back on 2008: reflect on the ups and downs, the positives and the negatives, the good and the bad… then MOVE ON! What did we learn? What did we do right? What happened? What could we have done better? Honestly reflect

Wandering in and out and about...The light that once burned so brightly within is now burning without.Round and round we go, where it stops and begins again,I don’t know!What was, is but a fading memory as the lights about me that once showed the way fade to a dim, patiently waiting to burn brightly again. The journey has become lost, helpful signs are gone. A familiar journey it is with the same
