Uncanny
A night on Mars. The stars in her eyes as she peered deeply into the night sky. Home alone in her capsule. Home like when she was young. Wedged like a sphynx into a curvature that bore through the outside wall of the rectangular enclosure and held its lone window - a clear, circular lens capturing the brilliance of the constellations above Mars.

The Year 2525
"In the Year 2525, if man is still alive, if women can survive, they may find." That opening to one of the most memorable hit songs of the late 60's set a very ominous tone for the future of mankind. Subsequent verses pick up a very foreboding story of mankind spanning 10,000 years. As with Nostradamus's disturbing predictions, Zager & Evans constructed an altogether more disturbing and sobering scenario for the future of humanity. A little more than 500 years from now we may find mankind at the mercy of all the technology we have created.

The Vagabond's Odyssey
In the year 2187, one hundred years after the Great War, the earth is still scorched. Smoldering relics of a time now forgotten litter the land as far as the eye can see. Among the few surviving humans now emerging from the caves comes the one man able to save the rest of humanity. A man whose steely blue eyes and white hair have weathered years in quiet desolation, exiled far below the earths surface. Now, as he emerged gazing over all that surrounds not a bird in sight, no trees to see only the emptiness of a barren land laid before him.

Humans and Animals Working Together
Humans and animals working together to benefit out Earth may sound insane to those who do not believe that climate change is happening, but those who see this evolving problem that’s affecting our planet know that we need to act fast...and now. California barely made it out of a bad drought that was affecting our land, crops, and homestead for years. The scorching heat that we’re having throughout the country is proof that our weather continues to drastically change. The ice melting in the Arctic at rapid speed is not normal, and the shift of natural disasters occurring where they usually don’t—like earthquakes and tornadoes is scary.

Crisis: Water
Whatever you may think of the Syrian crisis, the Iran nuclear agreement, or the troubles with North Korea, there still remains an undercurrent of economic uncertainty in every part of the world today. That economic uncertainty stems from the fact that fresh water isn't available to millions the world over. When we here about our own infrastructure failings right here in the good old USA too many of our elected officials omit the plain fact of the matter that access to fresh water is vital for all other infrastructure projects to succeed. And without access to fresh water our whole economy will crumble.

Are You Aware Of What's Out There?
This world has so many secrets, stories untold, and only a small few can see into those secrets well enough to explain one hundred percent what is truly going on. Is it a mind game? Is it truly happening? How do I make it stop? If these are your questions, I can give you answers.

Organic Intellectual Energy
Throughout the ages, all living organisms whether it is a small blade of grass or a blue whale all emit a form of energy. Energy in a way that is so transparent, so subtle, and yet, very definitive in nature. All living humans emit this kind of energy. But, mankind's ability to see or harness this energy other than for very minute things like a wristwatch which runs off of ones body heat remains pretty elusive. Remember, man has a natural internal temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Not only is body heat a form of energy but, cold blooded reptiles exhibit an all together more evasive kind of energy. Those Star Wars movies were Jedi Knights were the only ones privy and capable enough to understand and harness natural energy that is emitted from all living things in order to do remarkable feats is the type of energy man has sought for years to understand. It is also this kind of energy that has surrounded all life through-out history.

I Can Remember Back to When I Was a Newborn Child
My earliest memory of which I can date is from when I was twelve days old. My parents carried me to the driver’s seat of the car (my father’s idea) and placed me down upon it for a photo. As a newborn child I was curious as to what the seat cover and steering wheel above me were. Though at that age I hadn't yet developed the ability to want to get up and explore what such curious objects could be.
