Wow

It has been far too long since I've made a blog post and I must try to do one at least weekly from now on. I apologize for the extended silence but life does come at you sometimes. Well I do have a new Book out entitled Walking Down Awen's Path which is about working with divine inspiration. I like it and got to work with a lot of lovely people on it who helped with illustrations and reviewing it before I published it. Thanks to them all. Its live on Amazon and its at Barnes and Noble's website. Find the cover images below.
. Well Until Next week... thats all. I will be working on more thought out posts from here on in. I need to get more active with my blogging. Thanks to all who subscribe.

Pondering Realities

Today I finished listening to the audiobook version of Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein today and remember why I like the story. I really like its underlying meanings and spiritual thoughts. Tomorrow I plan to start listening to Siddhartha by Herman Hesse again. I am also looking forward to my copy of The Spirit of Albion the movie's arrival, as it has been shipped to me, I am truly looking forward to it and plan to watch Dreams Awake again. I guess I am just in a spiritual mood and once the rains have passed I must spend some time contemplating out of doors, I still do now but not as easily. Well that's all for now but I am planning on more regular posts now. Hope someone is reading them.

Whoa

It has been FAR too long since my last post. Since the last post I have been very busy with both my day job and the writing and publishing career. I've attended my first East Coast Gathering of OBOD and it was great, looking forward to the next one which I will be attending and last month I was at Pantheacon and presented my working with Awen presentation. I am going to be working on a few more presentations and some more writing stuff so we'll see. I will be posting here more often now. I am planning to post at least once per week.

I hope it goes well. Sorry for the LONG pause in my posts. Things do get distracting from time to time.

The power of Words Part 1

Words can be powerful. Not because they themselves hold power but because of the power we give them. When we use words no matter what they be in a derogatory manner towards individuals or groups of people based on race, intellectual ability, religion, or any other broadly stereotypical manner we can cause pain. We can also cause joy by using words to lift others up.

Occasionally we all say the wrong thing or have a slip of the tongue usually due to what we have heard growing up. Words should never be used to hurt others where possible and the we should always strive to be careful what we say, but we must also strive not to be hypocritical about what we believe.

Words also can be used for their shock value. Below is a PSA I recently viewed on television, though I do applaud them for trying to be kind to disabled individuals. This has brought up some other issues such as having many children who may not yet have heard such words to hear them and have to explain that they are not acceptable words. Please forgive my language but why not just say Fuck on national television? Again I like the message on face value but not in how it was delivered. I have looked through youtube and seen many different commercials for the same cause and I think that they did it much more eloquently.

More will follow in future posts regarding the power of words in many different ways.
