Truth is revealed through paradoxes

Scroll through any social media platform and you’ll notice titles such as “The truth About” Why are these titles so effective when the “truth” shared is merely an opinion?

I guess somewhere along the timeline, humans became accustomed to the idea of believing in one thing, one supposed truth, a savior. Let’s be honest, it’s easier to follow than think, isn’t it?

The beautiful thing about the sky’s most benevolent planet, Jupiter, moving into Gemini, one of his least favorite signs, is the idea of fragmented truth. That any and all things can either be, or not be, true at the same time.

There is a challenge in this, though. For the next 12 months the deconstruction and reconstruction of the universal order will question your faith. Some may see questioning as weak. Others see it as strength. After all, doubt is a sign of intelligence. He who dares to question is Hermes himself, who goes where other planets do not. He who doesn’t question follows with blind arrogance. Insufferable.

When your perspective on truth, faith, religion and philosophy oscillates between certainty and doubt, you know you’re on the right path. A wise man knows not only what he is taught and told, but also what is necessary to sacrifice to reveal the truth.

I always ski on June 1st. Some years, the lifts are running, and I’m surrounded by a thousand of my closest friends and fellow ski bums, the line wrapping around the base lodge. Some of us are there for the bragging rights, others for the free t-shirt, and some time at the Umbrella Bar. There’s…

Drawing on inspiration

I know it was second grade because I remember the classroom. And I know what teacher was involved because I never forgot her or the moment I’m about to highlight. The year was 1974. I don’t have many memories from that stage of my life, but the following was poignant enough to have possibly set…

Celestial creature: Indigo bunting

June 4, 2025
There is nothing like the royal blue of an indigo bunting. In the Northeast, they arrive fashionably late to the spring fling, behind the vanguard of migrating warblers and other songbirds. On my morning walk in my frequent birding spot – my “patch,” as birders call it –I heard the sharp double-noted tune: “Look! Look!…
