Unimportant Differences
"Unimportant Differences" speaks to the essence of evaluating a person's character over superficial markers such as creed, politics, or race. It posits that a truly admirable individual is one who acts with kindness, honesty, and generosity, who respects others, and who carries a spirit of fairness and joy throughout their life. These virtues, the poem suggests, are far more significant than the divisions humans often focus on. In the grand tapestry of life, and certainly in the afterlife, these are the…-

In this chapter titled Two Travellers in the Place Vendome, the story unfolds with a quiet spectacle—a funeral procession, unusual in both dignity and detail, proceeding along a dusty path to Longwood. Sixteen Chinese bearers walk in unison, each carrying a coffin meant not for sixteen, but for one man. Among them, one coffin once served as a dining table, adding a note of dry humor to the otherwise solemn occasion. Their cargo is a small figure in stature but immense in legacy. The atmosphere is…-

Tuning In
The chapter "Tuning In" delves into the idea that creativity is not an isolated human endeavor but a universal force that permeates all aspects of existence. Just as rivers carve landscapes and trees sprout leaves in accordance with nature’s cycles, human beings create in alignment with an unseen, yet omnipresent, creative energy. The text suggests that this energy, often perceived as inspiration, is not something individuals generate on their own but something they tune into—much like radio antennas…-
