Musings about past lives & dreams & stuff
Musings about past lives & dreams & stuff
I never bought the idea that this would be our one and only time on this earth with our current minds and bodies. Christians try to sell the idea that we will all transcend to a new, higher state of being-Some view this in a more physical sense, and some a more mental sense, but it results in the same sensation: a feeling of complete security and happiness and immortality. The worry of death…

How white people distort words related to morality to mask or justify their own immorality: Featuring Richard Wright’s works as evidence

He shocked America with his novel Native Son, his autobiography Black Boy, and his posthumous novel Lawd Today! to name a few. Wright wrote about what he knew to be true—that the oppression of black people in America has been institutionalized to serve the desires and needs of white people, and white people…

La madrugada
Durante las horas de la madrugada Hay màs que la plata, Y la cacofonìa del mundo arruinado. Hay monstruos que estàn muriendo Uno por uno En las sombras de la oscuridad. Ellos volveràn como siempre, Cada noche, Pero en estos momentos estamos libre. En la luz tenue de la mañana nueva Hay esperanza fresca La que siente más divina Que ayer y anteayer. El mundo es mágico por las horas breves de la…

A letter I will never send
A letter I will never send
Dear you, You were my first love. You were the first person I made love to with all my heart. You were the first person who broke my heart, but you didn’t care. You were the first person I fought for in vain. You were the first person whose mind matched mine, and could challenge mine. Foreplay for us was always in our heated, hilarious discussions. You were the first man to make me laugh so hard…

When something you cannot hold, but can feel, is ripped from your hands before you know it's gone.
When something you cannot hold, but can feel, is ripped from your hands before you know it’s gone.
     I’ve been reading about many cases of rape the past few months. David Becker, Brock Turner, Ma’lik Richmond and Trent Mays to name a few of the perpetrators who all received sentences that did not match their crime. Too often do I hear, see, read that a woman was raped. How often is too often? Well, every single day. In our highly connected world cases of rape like these drown us, and then…

Frigatebirds, seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft for weeks at a time, a new study has found. The results paint an astonishing picture of the bird’s life, much of which is spent soaring inside the clouds.
Frigatebirds are unique among aquatic birds. Their feathers are not waterproof, so they can’t rest on the waves. Males sport a vivid red pouch along their throats that they inflate when trying to attract females. They’re known for stealing food from other seabirds.
Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it breeds on land aren’t well-known — until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the birds’ flying ability almost defies belief.
