Category: Human Experience
A human experience is why we have come to this world. We came here to deal with the messy emotions and to experience the struggle. We did not come here to be perfect.
Human beings, unlike other species, have a conscious awareness of their own mortality. Our human experience covers the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical characteristics of human life.
Humans are aware of the irony that they are both brilliant and aberrant, sensitive and savage, exquisitely caring and painfully indifferent, remarkably creative and incredibly destructive to self and others.

Get out and Vote!
This summer I stood at the very same podium Susan B. Anthony did at Lily Dale. She spoke of woman’s rights and fought for my right to vote. Today I honor her sacrifice and that of all that came before me to fight for the rights that I have and I voted. 77th voter in […]
