Gentle Musings About Life

Today is 4/27/2025 and 10:07pm. For me, this is a very unusual time to be writing. For years my pattern has always been to start jotting down thoughts early, after stumbling out of bed.

Your imagined past has resulted in the forgetting of this unconscious...

The reason this occurs is everything you have seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelled from the moment of birth is stored in your subconscious database. You asked, and your powerful mind finds the answer. I have not watched network news in 25 years for the sole reason of putting positive into my mind versus negative. The news is mostly negative because the executives understand society enjoys seeing others worse off than their selves. Great for ratings. Also, consider th...
