1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months.
I wonder why God wanted Adam and Eve to live in ignorance. It seems that once the snake showed up it opened their eyes to the fact that God lied. He had told them that if they ate from the fruit of the forbidden tree they would surely die. As we know though, they didn't … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months.

Sometimes we wonder why we should even try, we awake with this doubt, with its accompanying thoughts and feelings, they hold us down to our comfortable beds, comfortably numb but held down by our own weight.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 12: Impermanence of Life, Strength of Spirit.
Life flows from one moment to the next, from pleasure to pain, non-stop. We wonder what it all means, what is the right way to live, or the wrong way.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 11: Productive Weed Highs.
So yesterday I wrote a bit about how, not wanting to quit smoking weed, I decided a few years back to try to spend most of my stoned time doing something creative, something productive.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 5: Personality, Truth & Love.
