Here’s Why The Unexamined Life is Worth Living
The widely known ancient Greek philosopher Socrates once said: “the unexamined life is not worth living for men.” Notice that the philosopher was restricting this to men; in fact, the ancient Greek society was too sexist at the time, so much that women had a status slightly higher than that of slaves.

The Trans-Atlantic Snow Mobile
Luke pulled his scarf tighter around his mouth, hiding from the bitterly cold wind that sought to blast his face and seep away his warmth, telling him to go back from whence he came. Gripping his snowmobile with a death-like vice, he looked back to check on his precious cargo of fresh produce, grown in one of the pitiful few areas that remained arable in the whole earth.

The search for distant moons
In 1655, Christiaan Huygens pointed a self-constructed telescope at Saturn. The Dutch astronomer wanted to verify his assumption that the planet was surrounded by a single fixed ring whose orientation changed over the years. In the process, Huygens discovered the giant moon, Titan. Henceforth, Saturn was the third planet, along with Earth and Jupiter, of which a satellite was known. Today we know: Moons are even more common in our solar system than planets.

I AM YOUR LOVER
I am the One, the one, that you feel to the depth of your toes, the one that awakens your heart, you feel me in every breath you take. You hold me deep in your warm embrace. Our bodies dance together, like the beauty of the ocean in the light of a deep red full moon. The ease and grace in my words will break your heart into beauty of what I see in you. I will hold your hand in darkness and dance with you to the light. I will laugh with the craziness and celebrate all that is you. I will see your darkness as a pain in your heart, but I will not make it mine. I Am. I Am. I Am. I am your lover, I encompass it all, great and small, in that moment our bodies unite, in fire, an intertwining flame of wonder. I am in you and you are in me. The fire burns intenstly bright, rising like a Phoenix in the night. Together the flames touch the sky, burning down to ashes where there is no you and there is no me, just in this moment as life should be. .
