Feel-osophy

These words are associated with statements that are determined to be absolute, static, immutable, and stable. It did not matter how one felt about such descriptions, they were true or false regardless of how anyone felt about it. With the recent events that have unfolded in politics, the transparent look into the thought lives of Americans through Facebook. We have seen the evidence that a complete and entire generation or generations have no idea how to determine fact or Truth.

True Confessions: What To Expect When Mercury Goes Retrograde in Scorpio & Libra this Fall
What is Mercury Retrograde? A retrograde planet is one that appears to be moving in the opposite direction. Astrologically, this means that the energies represented by the planet are directed backwards or inward. Retrograde periods are often riddled with delays and disruption, but they don't have to be. These periods are not so much a time for action, but a time for reflection. Retrograde periods are also loaded with synchronicity and karma. So, they can also be periods of magic and manifestation if you just focus within rather than without. Things from the past will return to us. This could be people from our past, including from our past lives, situations, or memories that we thought we had forgotten about, or maybe just lessons that we're getting a second chance at learning after having failed the first time around.

Along With The Divine
The last thousand of years together felt like a blur. One of them saving a small portion of humanity while the other damned it.

Giving them more luck than they admittedly deserved. They did a lot of things together that either of their sides would not approve of if they had ever knew.

New Look At Luke Skywalker's Yellow Lightsaber
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of facets of the entertainment industries took a hit. Lots of things got delayed, and comic book releases were hit pretty hard. 2020 was meant to be the start of a new era for Marvel when it comes to Star Wars comics, especially given that the ongoing series simply titled Star Wars, which started in January 2015, relaunched in January of this year with the issue numbering restarted. The current run, written by Charles Soule, takes place, like other comic series right now, between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It follows a vulnerable Luke Skywalker after the revelation that Darth Vader is his father.

Kathleen Kennedy Determined to Hire More Women For Future 'Star Wars' Projects
For much of the amount of time that the Star Wars franchise has been around, the roles of women in regards to the live-action stories has not been as plentiful compared to men in these stories and working on these stories. Sure, from the beginning, we had Leia, who is a strong character. But over the course of the original trilogy, her role was lessened, and this pattern would be repeated in the prequel trilogy with Padme Amidala, who is shown to be strong but then has very little to do in her third film. Return of the Jedi saw the whole slave Leia situation, and the revelation that she is Luke's sister does not pay off in that film. In fact, it does not pay off until The Last Jedi, when we finally get to see Leia use the Force. Even with her limited role in The Rise of Skywalker, it was great to see her as Rey's master. On that note, recent years have seen an increase in the role of the female characters.

rainforest economics
As simple as the name suggests, rain forest economics is a broad based idea where nature, and its key components, plants and animals, are united in the struggle for its one obvious natural resource. Light. From the very first seedlings that spring from the mulch and compost grounds, where years of decay and debris have added up into a rich and viable ground coverage, the seedlings approach is in the seeking of light. That's if it doesn't get eaten by a caribou or used as a source of soft laden bedspread for an ant queen. Every part of the rain forest is dependent on each other.

A Faerie's Love story
A Faerie's Love Story Prologue A very long time ago, in Eyre, a place known for its mystical and magical aspects in ancient lore, Deidre, an Irish faerie, fell in love with handsome Scottish chieftain, Llewellyn MacDougall.

Returning to Eden
Since Mary had announced her pregnancy, grandma took up knitting the old-fashioned way (she spent most of the time dropping stitches and cursing). She also did crosswords with Alfie and read from the collection of actual books left in the apartment, rather than a virtual scroll or a screen. She deduced that civilizations from the past had something rather rich that was missing from the AI world. Among the books were pregnancy books that Martha had lent to Mary, who was doing her best to avoid looking at them. She was afraid that learning about natural pregnancy and birth might terrify her more than she already was. Grandma had tried to encourage her, but her advice had fallen on deaf ears.

The Starlight Queen
Distant and yet within reach, the stars around her cosmic travels twinkled and glowed as she passed them. With their names countless and their ages limitless, she could do little but smile to them all as she entered the Milky Way. A bright ball of orange and yellow heat pulled her close as she pressed forward of the sparkling river around her. Her aimless direction over the years had brought her too many sights and while the hot, gaseous giant was nothing new, it was the marble of blue and green that was near him that had caught her glance. The hard shell of space particles and travelling rocks that she had collected was barely warmed at the side of the giant she came to speak with.
