Still Searching for Further Light

February 3, 2011

After giv­ing it a loft of care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion, I finally decided to pay my 2011 dues to my Masonic Lodge. I was seri­ously look­ing at the pos­si­bil­ity of tak­ing a demit, after hav­ing been inac­tive for so long. I was Ini­ti­ated as an Entered Appren­tice on 18 Jan­u­ary 1996. On 15 Feb­ru­ary 1996, I was Passed to the degree of Fellow […]

December 3, 2010

Over the course of the last year, updates to the soft­ware were caus­ing an increas­ing num­ber of errors.  I upgraded the blog soft­ware yes­ter­day and that was appar­ently the last straw.  The site crashed and burned.  I was gut­ted to see so […]

Qigong where have you been all my life

December 2, 2010

Tues­day evening, I attended my first Qigong class. It was an extremely enlight­en­ing and impres­sive evening for me. Qi (pro­nounced ‘chee’) may not be well-known in the West­ern World, but Qi is the cor­ner­stone of East­ern Med­i­cine. In its most sim­ple def­i­n­i­tion, qi means vital energy. Prac­ti­tion­ers under­stand the cir­cu­la­tion and motion of qi will pro­mote balance […]
