More emphasis at times can take precedence than others, though none stands alone, for like a car, one can tune the engine for greater performance, though that…
Patterns, everyone and everything has them, right down to the workings and manipulation of this reality, and sometimes patterns occur over such a long time frame, and the distance is so great between events, that most of the time we don’t perceive of a pattern at all. And more and more people are starting to…
Investigative journalists aren’t as many in the mainstream as they used to be, but they’re still there, though most have surfaced into other viable media, in what is known as the the alternative.

So I’ve been focusing on nasal breathing whilst out for runs, and one can definitely…
Sage has a couple of different meanings, in one it is a plant, and the other is in meaning wise, and over time as well live and gain experience, some through learning, and some through what we are told. And of course, don’t expect any sage advice for navigating this world whilst at school, for…
