Summer with Daffodils
Winters in Canada are harsh. While living in Toronto, I have come to appreciate the importance of the warmth of the sun and the beauty it brings with it, the free spaces that come into sight after the snow has melted, the greens that start coming out after a few months of no snow. It is surreal. I love taking strolls and enjoy the beauty of nature.

All Because of Maisie
All Because of Maisie by Kate Somers Retirement leaves one with opportunities to pursue a host of choices. Many of us dream of that day. After years of reading, writing, teaching, going to dull-ended academic meetings, with limited to nil time to participate in sports, theatres, and those activities usually reserved for the “ladies that lunch”, retirement awaits with a tunnel of anticipation. Will it be downhill skiing? Will it be traveling? Will it be curling? Bridge with the proverbial ‘ladies who lunch’? But retirement also brings surprises.

A letter in Fall, 2020
A Letter in Fall from Michigan October 2020 It is fall here in southeast Michigan; the awesome mitten. You can hear the leaves crack off of their branches as they succumb to gravity and the lengthening of the night. It’s mostly maples taking a dive at this early juncture in late September and early October. Next up will be the magnolias, to be followed by the 300 year old oaks that mark the corners of my backyard.

LAWS OF MAGNETIC ACTION (section 1)
FIRST LAW: Connection of Power to "Tone". The viability of attraction in real life relies on congruity of "tone" between its owner and some other individual, and in getting such "tone" concordance, on any attractive plane, in a specific clairvoyant state, at some random time, mystic and actual attraction commonly collaborate.

The Article Of Waste
Prince Henry of Portugal was called the “navigator" because of his dedication to geographical exploration. Henry developed during boyhood a thirst to know the geographical truths of the world. Each explorer he sent out reported fully on his experiences and brought back specimens of peoples, birds, plants and trade goods. Prince Henry had learn that the Sudanic peoples were neither subject to north African rulers nor in military alliance with them. Therefore, he conceived the plan of seeking a seaway to gold supplies of western Sudan (West Africa Today). Somewhere about 1419, he gathered together a group of able geographers, map-makers and astronomers. He also recruited captains capable of sailing ships into the unknown and recording their observations coastlines, so that their experiences would provide knowledge to guide and assist later voyagers. Later, Portuguese businessmen criticized Henry's expenditure of so much capital on enterprises unlikely to yield profit. The greatest result of Henry's work were not seen until after his death. After Henry's death, his widely acclaimed wasteful navigation witnessed the advent of the trans-Atlantic trade, led to the prominence of Christianity in Africa, and also served as an open-gate for Europeans, most especially the British and French into Africa.
