*Deep Sigh* I so wanted to leave the Keke Palmer topic alone. I have literally been ignoring texts, tweets, videos, etc., for weeks, just hoping it would die down. But in true internet fashion, no one will shut up long enough to allow me and my opinions to rest. I mean, I was fine when I found ou...

I love writing, as most everyone here does. However, over the years, I developed a habit of using my words as a shield to hide behind. I rarely offer insight or context in my poems, and I never argue with anyone about what they think it should mean. They might actually turn out to be right one day. ...

Nature doesn’t fight. It balances. If you introduce wolves into a population of elk, the wolf population never increases far beyond the numbers of elk. One naturally predates the other and both species co-exist in balance. It’s in this co-existence that wolves change the grazing behav...

The Mother Goddess of Turriga, in Sardinia (Italy), dating back to the 4th millennium BC, is considered the most beautiful effigy depicting female sacredness, in the entire Mediterranean.

I don’t know if I would have believed anyone who told me one sentence could be so powerful. Even if they insisted it would accurately dictate the risk of becoming a stay-at-home mother. It’s late in the evening and I make my way to bed. I’m tired but I grab some paperwork. ...

Mygrandfather was Calvin Luther Muldrow. One of a dozen brothers and sisters, he fought in World War I. Although he died when I was young, I recall his stories about how he survived the Great War.

The way individuals look is an integral aspect of their identity and tells us a great many things about them. Our appearance, our physical traits, are markers of race, ...

Ayahuasca is known to be a very powerful plant medicine, and the stories you may have heard about it can be intimidating to say the least. I, myself, had first heard of ayahuasca about 10 years ago and wondered why anyone would put themselves through such an extreme experience. They say “you g...

When Lina Medina was five, her belly started to grow. Her parents were afraid it was a tumor so they took her to the village Shaman for advice. It was 1939 and they lived in a tiny village in Peru. The Shaman thought it might be a tumor, too. It seemed to be growing fast so he told them t...

A few days ago, I stopped into a kitchen gadget store, looking for a dough blender. I was able to find one, but by all appearances, there seemed to be just one model available for sale. I was hoping for an opportunity to do some comparison shopping. I took the item to the sales counter and asked ...

According to Google, almost 1.5billion people speak English in the world in 2023. A greater number would probably speak English to some capacity, even saying “Hello. How are you? I’m fine thanks. And you?” just like any Cambodian children with working vocal cords would greet any fo...

Kavita Pillay: Well, I guess the short answer is yes. But the long answer is that early in my life I was very exposed to Malayalam which is the language of the south Indian state of Kerala where my family is from. Actually when I was born — we were living in the US– one of my mom&rs...
