Religion Hopping
I am like a child when it comes to religion. They are all so entirely beautiful that I can’t pick which one I love the most. Today it’s Native American and Quaker. It’s nice to let my religious desires flow without hindrance and realize that all these religions are so different after all.

A blog I follow had a “Fitness Thesis” of sorts at the beginning of the year, and I’m not sure which it was, or I would link it, and I’m not really even sure that the author titled it that. Despite my lack of attention to details, I did find the idea interesting, so I’ve been trying to postulate my own fitness manifesto, and I’ve concluded that the title would...

psychotherapy:
Why does music make us feel? On the one hand, music is a purely abstract art form, devoid of language or explicit ideas. The stories it tells are all subtlety and subtext. And yet, even though music says little, it still manages to touch us deep, to tickle some universal nerves. When listening to our favorite songs, our body betrays all the symptoms of emotional arousal. The...

As much as our society has broken down, defined ourselves by, and given the race issue a great deal of thought….this is a really remarkable summary of the Arizona tragedy.

Shots from a weekend in Colorado. The heavy snow is all from just south of Breckenridge, on Quandary Peak and the Mohawk Lakes Trail. Most of the other shots are from a drive south down highway 24 along the Sawatch Range and the Collegiate Peaks.

MLK, Milk, and Christians too.
It is with my whole heart that believe that homosexual rights has to be our next major social shift in our country. On a day where we are overwhelmingly united in social justice, this blog piece is a refreshing take on the comparison between civil rights and homosexual rights, and how Christianity and Christians undoubtedly play a role.

What makes you feel most alive?
Sitting in a circle with 15 strangers in St. Joseph’s Room at a monastery in Alabama, I was asked this question. I answered, probably because I like to over share, and I probably answered without thinking through clearly, but in reflection, my answer seems to fit what truly makes me feel alive.

Vaguely.
I started this blog approximately a year ago. In that time I have posted over 100 entries, although lately they have been largely reblogs, but still, I’m slightly amazed that I’ve kept it up. There are a handful of people who I know read this blog, and surely there are some lurkers. As a passionate blog lurker myself; I appreciate those kinds of people.
I entitled this blog Vaguely...
