  Blinded by the Face of God?

  Aug 21, 20264 min

  The library of mythology undergirding the Christian religion, known as the Bible, claims in the second book, Exodus, that no man can see God's face and live. In the first book, Genesis, Jacob claims to have seen the face of God. Moses makes the same claim in Exodus. Yet, according to the mythology, both men lived. If Jesus was actually God, as the followers claim, many saw his face with no ill effects. Rather than admit the Bible is not inerrant, the cultists employ a myriad of illogical paralogisms to rationalize away the blatant falsehood. It is Cognitive Dissonance on steroids.

  Achromatic Humanity and the Cult of Simplification

  Aug 19, 20265 min

  abels are used to quickly identify and communicate meaning efficiently. They help people sort, recognize, remember, and make decisions about what something is, how it should be used, or how it should be understood. Seems benign. So, what's the problem? Labeling is a means of shrinking a complex reality into an easily manageable symbol...that may or may not capture the essence of the labeled item, resulting in confusion. The label 'desert' can be used to describe the golden, shifting sands of the Sahara where vegetation is virtually non-existent, or the Sonoran Desert delineated by the range of the majestic Saguaro reaches toward the skies, or Antarctica, a frozen land that is the largest, driest desert on earth.

  An Insurrection of the Soul

  Aug 17, 202610 min

  ince the publication of my first blog post in September 2011, I have grown increasingly dedicated to my artistic expression via words, photographs, and paintings. I dabbled in all three for many years prior, more as an afterthought, squeezing art in between work, raising my children, and other activities tickling my fancy, including all aspects of soccer from playing to coaching and refereeing, woodworking, knife making, and reading. All but reading slowly faded due to lack of interest or necessity. Grown kids tend to prefer autonomy as they come of age, something a decent parent diligently prepares them for rather than stifling their drive to be independent.

  The Wild Habitats of Story Fragments

  Aug 14, 20265 min

  What do a dead snag at Bear's Lodge, an exquisite petroglyph panel in Northern Utah, a saguaro forest with aged beings raising arms skyward, and a short path blanketed with brown, noise-dampening evergreen needles have in common?

  Where the Wild Questions Live

  Aug 12, 20265 min

  There are times in my life when I find it necessary to disaffiliate myself from what has become mistaken for civilization, aka, syphilization. Civilization, by definition, represents an advanced stage of cultural, scientific, and governmental organizations, distinguishing it from more primitive tribal communities. The inherent bias in the definition is self-evident, leading me to believe it has been refined over the years by those who have lost touch with life outside cities. Is it civilized to cram hordes of people into substandard living space for which they pay extortionary fees?
