Realization and church
Week Five A return to church, the same but way different I went back to a church this week. In some ways, it was remarkably similar to what I had just left. Yet it was so vastly different. I went with a friend because I was not sure that I would be able to go through the service without a panic attack, but I did not want it to have that kind of power over me either. It was beautiful. It was held in the high church fashion, the incense, and the sense of awe that comes from the early century worship style. It was all in English. I did not have to struggle to understand what was happening around me. People wanted to be there, and they were not in fear of what would happen if they said the wrong prayer or were not in perfect cadence with the people around them.

Confucianism
Ancient China became the great behemoth of the east following the guidance of three ancient teachings: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Originally, I had planned to put all three into this article, but I realized that to get a true understanding of each, this would be far too long.

I am God
the banana leaf It is likely that in its vision of oneself, the obligation of staying true to form must have been overlooked. Imagine, the absolute gravity of formulating the invention of the cat, with the means of the evolutionary process, and the canvass of matter by the theory of a big bang. As my mother would say, your father’s 15 seconds of glory brought you along.

Goddesses of Badassdom: Freya
When we read myths and legends, we get reams of text about how awesome the gods are. How clever, how manly, how wise, and we get intricate details about all their deeds and accomplishments. But when it comes to the goddesses? Well, we know their names, and we know generally what their areas of concern were, but more often than not the way they're talked about is that they're just the girls of the pantheon. As if the gods all went out for an epic roarer of a boy's night, and the wives stayed at home waiting for them to come back.

Week Two
Week Two Lethargy, mood swings and fear Uncertainty is a place where not many can live for long. Its very definition does not allow you to move back or move forward, everything is up in the air. The fear of the unknown wants to draw you back into the known, even though it is there that the abuse and hell lay. Your mood swings from happy that you are free to fearing that very freedom.
