Finding the light in the darkness

To say we’ve arrived at a fork in the collective road is an understatement. Regardless of outcomes, that reality isn’t going to change; it’s inevitable now. It’s more than probable we are already on the highway to hell; it’s just a case of who will take us there faster.

All that said, though, do you need to jump on board that train? You don’t have to, you know! Much of it is still about the perspective you choose. Is the glass half full? Is it half empty? Is the glass refillable? How much do you let the political theatre feed on vyour energy and distract you from what is most important – your life and those in it and your spiritual growth and sustenance? 

Even the darkest clouds on the horizon still contain a silver lining. Whoever looks at the good in everything, reveals that in everything there is good.

Astrology operates on the ethos of “as above, so below.” This week, the above component reveals the very worst of “astrology bad” and the very best of “astrology good.” As for the as below component, that is the free will of each of us as to whether we choose to see the bad or we choose to see the good.

McNally became the Grateful Dead’s biographer in 1980…

A variety of fears

One of the TV talk shows I was watching recently discussed fears. The comment was made that we outgrow most childhood fears, but some remain. Fear of the dark is a common one when you are young. I remember a night light solved that problem for me. My bedroom door was left open, and there…

‘Friendship’ is not for the faint of heart

May 28, 2025
Forming a new friendship with someone in your 40s is challenging enough; try doing it if you’re an introvert. Writer/director Andrew DeYoung’s comedy “Friendship” is a hilariously dark look at male bonding with a leading performance from Tim Robinson that audiences won’t soon forget.  Where to begin with this movie? I guess, for starters, a…
