A Daoist Interpretation of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali I recently read The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, translated by James Haughton Woods, 1927, with interest. Not expecting a fresh insight because it was an unabridged republication from almost a hundred years ago, I wasn't shocked to find this text true to the writing style of an earlier time. Personal experience on unrelated adventures greatly assisted in my understanding of this text. Many years ago and housed in a four man cell with t...

A Little Bit of Sunshine by Keith Allen Deaton The morning was absolutely beautiful. A thick snowfall began to cover the landscape. When I woke, I didn't think to look out the condensation covered window. The grayish (alpine blue) bars not being my first thought or interest in the morning. Only later after I brushed my teeth did someone exclaim "Hey, it's snowing." Today is Wednesday and it would be a good day! For the last several months, Wednesday is always a good day! R...

About Me I'm 52 years old and obviously well preserved. I'm bright, funny, classy, easygoing, loyal, faithful, loving, tough, and at times wild. I like REO Speedwagon, Journey, Rolling Stones, Kiss, Ratt, Dio, Motley Crue, R&B, candlelit dinners, and slowed eyed moments. I also like volleyball, skating, softball, nature, animals, people, and I love God. My downside, and for the majority of my crazy and undisciplined life I have been a criminal.

It's hard to appease these needs, at times, through new choices, I try and want to make, concerning this new persona I seek. Do I fear my anima? With so much looking so wrong right now, with life kicking the crap out of me again, does my inner beast look to devour this kinder side of self? That inner beas...

American Prison: The Largest Sinkhole of Taxpayer Dollars in History A recent report called "Follow the Money of Mass Incarceration" says taxpayers spend approximately 182 billion dollars per year on incarceration. That is 182, followed by 9 zeros. Numbers that large are difficult to comprehend. I mean a lot of calculators don't have screens that wide! I'm not going to parse that report, (it's available on the internet at www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/money.html) inste...

When we first hooked up she'd had a lot of desirable qualities. But the longer we were together the more she became addicted to painkillers. When we first met she was on some painkillers due to a car accident that required extensive leg surgery and doctors said she would always likely suffer from chronic pain. B...

Civilized Paradox, or Hypocrisy The sight of a bully, or bullies, continuing to beat a person already down is intolerable, cause for outrage, and social indignation. Schools take bullying serious. Children are taught and disciplined not to bully others: "It's wrong to over-power another and force them to say uncle." Domineering, browbeating, and subjugating, is what tyrants do; definitely not what we want our children to do, or to become. Such behavior is not acceptable in a ci...
