Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Why I write: 24 of 244

Why do I write? I write because it is impossible for me not to. I write because, even if I don't want to, my 'writing muse' drags me, kicking and screaming, away from the television to the computer. I write because it is a release valve which allows the build up of all my thoughts to spill out onto the paper or the monitor s...
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Listen to your higher self to hear your true calling: 1 of 8

From a very early age, I always knew that I was different to most of my peers. Coming from a very male dominated, inner-city, working class, tough neighborhood, Spirituality was not something high on the agenda for most people. Football (soccer), drinking and the pursuit of the opposite sex, were however! These things never ...
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) The future for Christianity: 1 of 7

It is alleged that Christianity is in decline with fewer people attending church regularly and difficulty in recruitment for ministers, priests and nuns being experienced across the board.

Spiritual energy is the energy of everything. All that lives has a Spirit within it and that Spirit is linked to all other Spirits by its every essence, its Spiritual energy.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sailing: 8 of 45

SPIRITED SAILOR She cuts through the swell like an arrow in flight her tall sails catching the winds full might through the canyons of the rocky sea she struggles on and makes no plea for mercy, from the ocean wide the beckoning stars, her only guide where she's headed, only God knows best for the eternal free spirit of the ...
Relationships & Family > Ancestry & Genealogy Getting started with genealogy (family history): 4 of 19

I used to think that studying the family tree, (or genealogy to give it it's proper name), was some weird hobby that only older people did, as they sat poring over dusty tomes in little known libraries across the world, desperately trying to find that tenuous link to some royal lineage. Then my aunt gave us a copy of some re...
Religion & Spirituality > Theories of Spirituality The power of present moment awareness: 10 of 38

The moment just gone is the past, the moment yet to come is the future, the moment we are in now is the present and all we truly have is this moment to do with as we please. We may create, destroy, or just waste this one moment in time but whatever we choose to do now will become our future. How often do we choose wisely how...
Sciences > Psychology What your daydreams say about you: 9 of 33

Daydreaming is healthy but is not given enough importance in our technologically focused society. We have many gadgets and gizmo's designed to take the work out of working, giving us more free time to - what? Daydream perhaps? Of course, the extra free time we were to get never materialized as we used it to do something else...
