I’m a joyful vegetarian but I don’t begrudge other people the right to eat meat. After all, I do believe that different blood types thrive on different diets, and I have many friends who hate the thought of slaughter, but literally become ill if they don’t eat occasional meat.

I propose, then, compassionate meat. Whole Foods has already set high industry standards for ensuring that the animals are not only raised chemical-free, but with a reasonably high quality of life. These animals are ... read more

The United States. There's one thing we can say for certain about this country: it is truly the most cultural and racially diverse country in the entire world. And this is no accident. The big cosmic reason for the existence of this country is for HEALING.

There has been so much pain, warfare, stealing and killing done between one race and another. It's not just whites vs blacks, but spreads out much further. There's so much that is too taboo to talk about -- but we need to bring these iss... read more

Here we go. The Garden of Eden begins with Women making Peace with the Animals. Does it not?

When the needless killing and fear/domination of animals stops, and the Power of Feminine Divinity reaches the Soul Upwards...then the men must needs be humbled and inclined towards Awakened Masculinity.

All worlds: Animal, Vegetable & Mineral...uniting within us. Are we not made of blood and muscle? Do we not feast upon the plants? Surely we contain within us iron, calcium, magnesium and coppe... read more

Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the 31-year-old social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner.

But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn.

He was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approache... read more

I speak here of a product design given to groups of women aged 18-30. The design is for pagers, and two designs are supposed to work with different ideas of sensuality. It's a long page, but scroll down to see the design differences.

The first design is soft, mysterious, had light-up a petroglyph-type symbols (a bird, a snake, a couple holding hands) in order to communicate different nuances into your messages, as well ... read more

I've just begun working at an Indian Trading Post in Sedona, wild-west style, with antlers, bones, furs and skins, as well as beads, pottery, woven rugs, and turquoise and silver jewelry.

It has been an interesting few days, as I observe and absorb the space without judgment. When walking past bearskins or coyote pelts, I run my fingers through them and admire their beauty. No, I do not condone killing animals for a reason as silly as the fur. People make the argument that there are "too m... read more

Lately I've found it exceedingly difficult to get anything done. What I mean is "accomplish" something, like take a project and tend to it from start to finish. I have a lot of great ideas, I make a few starts...but very few of these ideas make it to completion. I've been like this for years, actually.

I'm quite intelligent, curious and well-educated...but I just don't have a lot of drive or ambition. Do I really need to? Do I need to work hard and strive to achieve, like so many others in... read more
