"...each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting..." -Bruce Lee Water takes the shape of whatever is immediately around it. It is adaptable. Water also allows itself to be transformed into a new substance and is essential to life. Humans consist almost entirely of water also. It is a part of us, it is around us and we breathe it in from the air as well. Matter soon dries up in its absence and becomes hard and solid. Can we be fluid in adapting, shifting and transitioning like water does and take on some of its most essential characteristics? Can we be fluid like water and grow in greater alignment with changing circumstances and relationships?  Can we be fluid, yet still retain our integrity?  Having a rock, solid foundation in life is important. A great tree anchor itself by spreading its roots and clasping great rocks as its outermost extensions search for sources of water. The tree is immovable, yet f...

Is the current cost/ benefit ratio of fracking the earth's crust to extract energy in the form of natural gas a much greater cost than the benefits it gives? Is it a benefit or an exorbitant cost to the immediate and long-range health of communities, and lands where such a practice occurs?  Does injecting obscene amounts of chemicals, mixed with water into the earth's crust and its water tables harm the physical health of any child or adult? Can it lead to autism? Can it lead to other neurological disorders, based on exposure? Why is it legal to frack when it is such a counter-productive, and unhealthy way to extract energy, given that we can get way cleaner and cheaper energy from such sources, like waste, algae, the sun, the water, and apparently, electromagnetism?  I hear they are doing nifty energy things over in that CERN place in Europe.  With that kind of energy, why frack, why even use oil?  It just doesn't make sense that the water supply of hundreds of comm...

  As an advocate for the executive function skills health of American children & adults ,  I am continously amazed by the wrong direction we are headed on two relevant fronts: • national public school educational policy to educate the present, and upcoming generations of our nation's children,  • and the effects of environmental toxicity on the development and long-term health of our brains. In a macro perspective, with such bright minds in our country, it is a marvel that states do not immediately make moves to strengthen and protect the American brain trust, our children, in these key areas of: • executive function skills development • financial literacy • physical health That is to say, a person operates optimally when they have effective self-management systems that take into account all aspects of the person, is raised to in a scholastic culture that emphasizes financial self-reliance, and is able to live a life free of harmful...
