Last night I had the unprecedented experience of feeling drunk while not having had anything alcoholic to drink. My husband drank a fair bit, and he also took sleeping pills. We showered and went to bed, and we made love. I had a crazy, mind-blowing orgasm that left me gasping, screaming, laughing and crying at [...]

I wrote a response to the question of whether or not “pressuring” someone into doing something is immoral: Once again, it’s about the intention behind the pressure, not the act of pressuring itself. This is so fundamental to everything. It’s the background frequency of a person’s core being that influences the “morality” of an act. [...]

One of the first things my husband taught me was that the negative stuff is everywhere. You have to actively reject it to get out from under its influence. If you don’t do anything, you’re just mired in all this negativity. That’s why darkness is so pervasive. It’s the default mode of approaching the world. [...]

It is said that if something is true, and it resonates, people tend to find it funny. If not in a laugh-out-loud, “haha” way, then in a bemused, “heh yeah” way. Another thing people find funny is irony. The unexpected can provoke laughter. So yeah, it is funny that I would write about cooking and [...]

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. – Albert Einstein For much of my young life, I have had this feeling that I was seeking something. I could not put a name to it, and yet [...]

Think of any human institution: the corporation, the church, the government. None of these should be thought of as some sterile, unliving object. Each is made up of its constituents, and the quality of the people directly impact the organization. The institution of the Church helped build Western European civilization as it was for many [...]

Ever since C and I got a dreamcatcher and hung it over our bed, my dreams have been extraodinarily vivid. It’s a big dreamcatcher, lined with gray rabbit fur, studded with colorful stones in a spiral pattern in the middle. C had added more feathers for decoration. Originally we planned to use the one we [...]
