Exploring Truth With The Nawala Tribe

Her mantra is, Peace, Love, and Grass Juice, and after listening to the conversation I had with Nicole “Nawala” Damiba of the Nawala Tribe, you’ll see that there is so much more to her than just that. I really appreciate the intentional approach she takes to understanding life, and her willingness to talk to me [...]

Be Strange, Be Very Strange

Sometimes being strange is looked at as an undesired place to be. I grew up in many ways, trying my best to fit in, and be normal.  Now, the older I’ve gotten, it appears that all the progressive changes, and advances society often seems to make, are due to those who had the courage to [...]

We’re Losing Our Religion

Something is happening in America's religious climate and many churches are feeling it. Whether they are acutely aware of it, or willing to undergo the fundamental changes needed to respond, is another matter.

Little Red Lizard

I told myself, like you told yourself.  This wouldn’t happen again.  Driving away into the night, we muttered the silent promises people do when they’ve reached the end of themselves.  When they have discovered that they really are not just one person.  That we all have to fight a war between the best of ourselves, [...]

The Cure For Common Insanity

I’ve heard that Einstein is responsible for saying, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. I’m not sure if my 5 consecutive trips to the fridge, expecting a miraculously cooked meal qualifies me for a straitjacket, but I’ve definitely met Einstein’s definition.  And to my defense, I’ve [...]

7 Ways To Jump Start Your Personal Spiritual Life

I’m not an official on spiritual things, and can only truly speak from my experience. I’m at a phase in my life, where at least ideally, I value reflection, deeper contemplation of life, its meaning, and my search for a deeper understanding of God.  However, in actual practice, these things can often get lost in [...]

Stuck in No Man’s Land

No man’s land can be a dangerous place, and exhilarating at the same time. Especially when this stretch of unclaimed territory separates two waring nations, ideologies and people.  People found traveling from one nation to another, in passing through this neutral zone, can be tempted to set up shop there, and forgo the commitment of [...]

Explore Truth Challenge

Ever since I’ve taken on the Explore Truth Challenge, I’ve been faced by two stark realizations. Firstly, the grandness of the quest, and secondly, the grandness of my laziness. I mean, its not like I’ve just started contemplating the great existential questions in life. This has been a roller coaster of a quest throughout my [...]
