One Psychic’s Journey

A very young me startled my relatives by telling them what they were about to say. The looks on their faces revealed disbelief and shock before they politely laughed.

Learning history was often a rediscovery of things … [Read more...]

What a Difference a Degree Makes

When you set out on a journey, the direction in which you are pointed at its outset makes a huge difference where and when you arrive at your destination.

All Who Wander are Not Lost

A number of years ago I bought a T-shirt embroidered with the words "All who wander are not lost." I am not all that fond of the shirt, but I have kept it for the motto.
