I use methodology, I just do not believe in it. -a quote borrowed from Matthew Sweeney who also borrowed it from elsewhere. This is one that is worth recycling to me. Used it before in an entire blog piece, but felt it would be one of my personal Sutras. This particular “sutra” represents my entire [...]

Going to start a new concept on this blog of throwing down some sutras/quotes from either myself or things I have picked up from others. Basically Sutra translates from Sanskrit to English as meaning “thread”. Threads of knowledge gathered up to eventually weave a bigger picture! These are just one-liners of wisdom to give you [...]
Being A Student: a bit on classroom etiquette and

Here is a little something I wrote a while ago… Ahimsa! In Sanskrit there is a term…Ahimsa…which translated means non-harming. A beautiful concept for a word! I don’t know of many other words that symbolize this concept. There are millions of words for the opposite though…destroy, harm, hurt, wreck, ruin, break, crush, beat, smash, [...]
