Father Mapple’s Commandments #1
My dear Globatron brethren and sistren, I have been thinking lately about the nature of law-giving. Anybody who has been around our temple for any time knows that this is a constant fascination for me. I have been meditating on how it is that such things operate, like the 10 commandments, The Code of Hammurabi, […]
One Long Infinite Pause
Blue China
A New America
Many on this planet are scared. Scared of what the future holds. Scared of what will soon unfold. An economy crashing once again. Two wars for historians to pen. But me, I am done with fear. I am thankful for my life, unclear. Being born in this time. The last generation to climb. The land […]

Memorial to Peace
On these military holidays, I am comforted by access to those who stand for peace. To those who have tragically fallen to warfare, I honor you by holding onto and expressing an enthusiasm for a world where violence is no longer a profession and murder takes its rightful place in the list of sins that […]
Beyond Beyond Good and Evil
If evil can be defined as processes that work against human happiness and natural balance, then we can agree that evil exists and therefore that good also exists, those forces that add to human happiness and natural balance.
