The Strauss building, a tall spear, diamond like structure, coming from the ground pointing to the sky. The man that worked in this building was an architect. A tall build and a navy blue suit to fit his daily routine of charting measurement from top to bottom spending his days collecting his thoughts in a glass window overlooking the city of Cincinnati. His brown eyes glimpsed the grey of the rain and the haze lingering over the bridge passing over the Cincinnati River seeing his reflection in the glass looking into his own fair stare turning back to his desk he picks up the black phone

My fiction aims to create a sense of urgency and awareness -- a sense of responsibility to confront what is wrong and make it right. The imperfections in the world may be corrected through a serious effort to identify and reshape our assumptions about how society and our perceptions, and therefore our behavior, should be structured. We are entering a new stage in the evolution of human consciousness, bringing an awareness of the need for new goals and values. Together, we can contribute to that new way of thinking and behaving. Join me as I explore the possibilities. Your comments are welcome.

The Old Oak He used to look at me, with his bright blue crystal eyes. Moving with the blizzard winds and rolling with the ocean waves, all shades of blue. We stood under the old oak shading me from the light that lightly kissed my cheek. “I want to show you something” he said. He always had something to show me. We walked together through the field away from the tree, revealing the path of the sun that leads us to the place he wanted us to go. I followed Johnathan away from the oak tree that we would spend so many days under and as we walked steadily through the golden tall
Where all streams of consciousness, from painful memories, to disrupted childhood events, to unresolved conflicts, to being misunderstood for your identity, mental health, and the way you process your brain and navigate the world, that places stigma on you. A place for me, you, and others can heal and undo the negative thinking that is making us fight with ourselves daily. Not a place to just trauma porn dump, but to find solidarity, peace, and resonance with others who are vying to redefine themselves, and reframe their unhappy outlooks to one of more solitutde, restoration and wholesomeness

Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

"No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

"Finally made it to Bilbao! A personal travel story and guide to the best of this Basque city. Discover Casco Viejo, pintxos, the Guggenheim, and hidden gems in the heart of northern Spain." You know the feeling when you keep telling yourself, “I have to go there”? Somehow, you just… never do. That was me with Bilbao. For years.

This work presents a logic-based framework for understanding life, society, and systemic stability through cause and effect rather than ideology or speculation. It explains how all functional systems—spiritual, social, and institutional—depend on alignment with authority, humility, and obedience to established order. Using an attached source-logic model, it demonstrates how obedience produces stability, protection, and continuity, while rebellion introduces disorder, loss of covering, and escalating consequences over time. Correction is reframed not as punishment, but as a stabilizing mechanism designed to prevent collapse. Mercy is shown not as tolerance of misalignment, but as restoration following a return to order. Rather than predicting outcomes, this framework explains why outcomes occur. It reveals that collapse is rarely sudden, but the result of sustained resistance to correction. The logic illustrates how systems naturally drift toward order when aligned—and falls if not
