Trapped Souls.
What is the SOUL? How is it defined? How is it trapped? From a multidimensional standpoint: The soul is ageless because all time is simultaneous, and in addition, the soul originates from outside of time as we know it. The soul split up in different fragments of the soul entity.

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

The Gift of Administration
I can't say it's popular. Not Donald Senior’s book. This one was from the 1980s. Something like ninety-seven pages. Longest book I ever read.

Nothing Compares
The documentary Nothing Compares is about the late singer Sinéad O'Connor. The film narrates her saddest life experiences and how they informed her artistry and activism. Sinéad got it! All the sadness within her pointed to society's shroud over evil. This story shows the influence music can have on humanity.

August 15th
Holy cow. August 15th, National Acadia day, celebrates the Catholic feast of the Assumption, when the Virgin Mary’s body and soul ascended to heaven. Orthodox communities commemorate the Dormition, when Christ’s mother awakens from sleep. Ancient Egyptians celebrated the rising of Sirius, which brilliantly shines as a jewel on Isis.

Till death do us part
Bullshit. Marriage doesn’t end with death. Love doesn’t die with their last breath. Vowing to love, respect, and honor someone only when they are alive is almost as bad as signing a prenup. Real love lasts forever. Death did us part but our marriage doesn’t end until we say so.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is all we need. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make your heart bleed. Published in 1964. Forever a work we will adore. Not many words. Not many needed. When we learned to care for a tree. We learned more than we ever needed.
