The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
There are many people deserving of respect. Status does not matter. Social standing is unimportant. It is actions that command respect. Whether it is a trauma doctor saving a dying patient, a soldier defending her country, a teacher educating children or a plumber keeping your basement dry, the service they perform is deserving of respect. We have become somewhat jaded as a nation when it comes to this. Discussions about bad pay and overpayment and benefits or a lack thereof
There is nothing quite like time amongst friends. I got to spend a long weekend with some amazing friends. There was tons of great conversation, inside jokes, laughter, and camaraderie. I got to spend quality time with my chosen family, got to build better friendships with others, and even made several new friends along the way. There is nothing quite like friendship to generate positive energy. I am always pleasantly surprised by how swiftly hanging out with friends makes me
Well done! Two powerful words that can change a negative into a positive. These two words can provide the compliment that tells you what you are doing or have done is appreciated, and that you have worth and value. Everybody wants to feel good about themselves. As much as our emotions are wholly our own, and we ultimately decide how to feel, no matter the outside influence…we still crave the satisfaction, the validation for whatever thing it is we are
You are capable of anything. You have the ability to make your own life. You are empowered with a strength that separates us from the rest of the animals walking this earth. You can choose who to be, where to live, what sort of job to work, the people you associate with. Beyond the physical, you can choose to be happy or sad or strong or weak. You have no limitations but those you set upon yourself. We are amazing
If sunlight provides fuel by day, moonlight provides fuel by night. The moon had been personified in song and story in so very many ways. Sometimes called He, sometimes called She, the moon is more to us than simply an immense rock orbiting the Earth and effecting our tides. The moon is a quintessential part of the lore of almost every culture in the world. The moon has its many phases, showing us different shapes and faces. Crescent, half, full
I don’t know about you, but I am solar powered. I love the sun. I love the touch of sunlight on my face, and I love it’s warmth upon my skin. There is something very refreshing, calming, and enlightening about sunlight. Many a day has been improved when I have stepped into the sunlight. The brightness of course in certain circumstances can be a bit overwhelming, but for the most part it is an incredible feeling, and it can generate
Sometimes the mind needs an escape. Fantasy is a wonderful means to that end. Fantasy, in its many and varied forms, can not only provide an excellent escape for the mind, it can also awaken new ideas and deeper creativity. I love being able to experience fantasy. In addition to all the amazing and wondrous things we humans can create, we can develop stories in incredible places on worlds that only come to being from creative minds. Throughout history fantasy
Inspiration comes in many forms. Different things inspire different people, of course. People can find inspiration in any of the five senses. The taste of chocolate. A piece of music. The smell of fresh brewed coffee. Sunlight in your eyes. The feel of silk beneath your hands. That sense of comfort and love from those closest to you. Any of these alone or in combination can spark the imagination and inspire great things. Inspiration has been personified throughout history. The
You can always start again. The rest of the animal kingdom has it much simpler than we do. They look for food, they look for shelter, they seek a mate or mates to pass on their genetic material. For them, life is a matter of course. Whether a domesticated or a wild animal, their needs and wants are relatively simple, and easy to fill as such. Humans are a lot more complex. We have a much wider variety of needs
Everybody deserves respect. I believe that many of the conflicts across the globe are the result of a lack of respect. The rich do not respect the poor and vice versa. The religious do not respect the atheists and vice versa. The conservatives do not respect the liberals and vice versa. I could go on and on, but no doubt you can see how easy it is for us to disrespect our differences. We all deserve to be respected, despite
