You'll not be young forever my darling...

You'll not be young forever my darling
You will grow old and grey.
When your years have peaked
and the mountaintops become your place
may you look at the stars and seas and say
"I have missed nothing.
I've lived my dreams!"

What is Love? ("Baby don't hurt me")

 Love is strange word. It means different concepts to different people.  Other languages have captured the concept of "love" to a much deeper extent than American English.  Greek and Latin, for example, both have over 5 different words to explain the feelings associated with "love."   American English uses one word: LOVE.   I LOVE tacos, my grandmother, my fiancé, my dog, and the sunshine. Perhaps in American English the concept of "love" has been simplified into meaning: something that gives our heart warmth and pleasure?  "So," my friend asks, "what does it mean to fall in love then, in this world where "love" seems so fickle?"  I am not an expert at this. Friend:  "So, how do you fall in love?" Wise Human Nearby: " Oh, deary, you CHOOSE to love someone. You just let yourself trust them completely with you.  You choose to jump in." Friend:  "...uh...that sounds super scary!" Wise Human Nearby:  ...

Waiting for that "love-at-first-sight" kind of match...means you may miss out on an even better one.

When we are younger, we often dream of being married, what it will be like, who it will be with. If you were a child in the 80s and 90s you probably grew up dreaming of your Disney-style prince charming, or beautiful princess. There is a whimsical magic in those dreams that makes finding the "right" one seem beautiful and easy...as if that "right" person just falls out of the sky/tower/coffin/forest/castle right into our arms.  Many children of the late 1900's have dreamed of this "love-at-first-sight" for years of our growing up lives.  But is that really how true, lasting love works?   Should we keep keeping our options open until we find this "instantaneous love?"   What does science say about it?   The science here is interesting to say the least.  For all those FOMO people out there who are afraid that choosing one person will keep them from finding the "perfect" person (their Disney love), prepare to be let down. Research show...

Walking Dead

The Zombie apocalypse has been a recent and deep concern for the future of all humankind ... perhaps ever since Y2K or the end of the Mayan calendar... or perhaps since the world began?  Although the general views of zombies are of humans who are mad and cannibalistic, perhaps there is a more present danger among us: the not-so-cannibalistic zombie in hiding. Zombies in hiding do not eat other humans, but they do suck up the positive energy in the room and replace it with a general feeling of despair and sorrow.  They are usually hard to get together with because they are afraid of inflicting another person with their personal raincloud, and so often go quiet to the world until they turn back into a normal human.  This may take days or weeks or months or years.  Zombies in hiding are very good at hiding, and it has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with their fears of bringing you down.  They are staying away because they want to protect you from them...
