Do you remember what it was like when there were no cell phones, and public phones weren’t always accessible. I remember that we had to be more creative. Think of all the stories we told when we were late for an appointment-a dinner date, an important meeting, etcetera. It wasn’t always possible to get in [...]
There’s a film, The Impassioned Eye, about henri cartier-bresson, “the man considered to be the greatest photographer of the last century and the grandfather of photojournalism.” It’s wonderfully done and anyone interested in art will surely enjoy it. Watching Cartier-Bresson talk about his work, pointing out facts about his pictures, about light and natural geometry, [...]
This past weekend was a strange one. Emi visited armed with window alarms because on Friday someone managed to climb onto the low roof which is flush with my apartment, and tried to enter my kitchen window. It happened this way: I heard a noise in the kitchen and then saw the shadow of someone’s [...]
The weather this week- well, if we talk about it, we’ll feel really hot. It’s better to drink lots of water, stay out of the sun as much as possible, wear a hat to protect from the sun, and streamline the day the way it’s done in the tropics. If there’s no air conditioning, simply [...]
I’ve been thinking, Michael, about you and baseball. My thoughts go like this: I don’t understand your devotion to baseball-your devotion to a team of players making a ludicruously big salary who don’t come up with the goods most of the time. You sit, you watch, you anticipate a good game. Why? You’re often bored [...]
There are many ads in Spirituality & Health magazine. The ads explain the benefits of their teachings to us in our professional or personal lives, or both. The fascinating thing about all those ads is that they point the way to the same destination-the betterment of ourselves and the world-but by taking widely different routes. [...]
When you think about what the world once was and those in ancient times who understood the importance of learning about, understanding and using for higher purposes the mysteries of the world, what are your feelings? And when you look at the world of today and all the playthings we have to amuse us, and [...]
So, what are your thoughts about the movie, The Secret? I saw it this weekend, compliments of Emi. Thank you, Emi. There was nothing new in the content as many books on the shelves of used and new bookstores have the same message. BUT to get the word out in a well-thought out-no-mystery-involved-movie is new. [...]
In one of the Hudson River towns is a woman named Helen who owns a small shop. She’s from Ireland and although she’s been in the US for quite a few years, she still has a bit of a brogue. Hers is the kind of shop that’s more like a social club than a shop [...]
I like to find natural remedies to heal what ails instead of grabbing something over-the-counter for quick relief. Of course, it’s important to know the source of the information so as not to end up feeling worse than before. Delving into this area which is full-to-the-brim with information is immensely interesting, and surprising because of [...]
