There are different stories about musicians going down to a certain crossroads, making a pact with the Devil and becoming extraordinarily skillful at their art. Some folks say in these Faustian tales that there's a vial of dirt involved, or a full moon, or that it occurs at midnight. The price...
Since I know there are a few people here into gardening I thought I'd do a follow-up to the harvest photos in an earlier post.
For those of you who liked those photos you might enjoy this video of the garden well after harvest. It was shot impromptu. My wardrobe was impromptu as well, but it...
Writing a piece recently I typed "kerflooey" and the spell check said it wasn't a word. Spell check recommended "kerfuffle" which is a word. Of course, I think kerflooey is a word, too.
Kerfuffle means commotion, agitation, disorder.
Do you know a goofy word and it's meaning? Or can you...

I wear sweats and sleep under three blankets.
Does anyone else indulge in floor sleeping, or other uncommon nocturnal...
I recently came across the practice of earthing and would like to know if anyone else has had experience with it. The basic idea is to ground oneself with the earth to neutralize charges on and in the body. It might sound strange but it really works.
Or quotes. Here's a few I like:
Henry Ford, "The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can't are both right."
Mae West, "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful."
Joseph Campbell, "Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain."
Mother Teresa, "Love...
I've been wondering whether or not atheists meditate, or would meditation be regarded as a religious practice? Some traditions that do not believe in a god use meditation as a primary practice. If not meditation, do some atheists pursue any practices that might connect with the subconscious...
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum but I've been watching it for a while and really like it. I feel it's time to get involved.
A little bit about myself, I think of myself as spiritual but not associated with any specific religion. I believe we may all be on different paths but heading in a...
