Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times Do ‘young people with rough journeys’ just walk in my door because it’s open, or are they requesting an invitation because I have something to learn… about them, myself, and what is? In other words, did my need of them bring them here? That’s a question I asked myself years …
Adam Lanka, Contributor Waking Times Alone is a powerful feeling, a fiery crucible that defines and shapes many a being’s motivations and experiences within the universe of the now.

Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Dear Humans, Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that ultimately succumbs to the biological experience we call life.

Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Dear Humans, Today I wish to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that engages in logic and deductive reasoning.

Brandon West, Contributor Waking Times Each and every one of our negative habits, be they thinking habits, behavioral habits, or emotional habits, we can condition ourselves out of by creating new habits through repetition.

Stuart Wilde, Guest Waking Times Some people don’t need redemption, they believe they are perfect, the rest of us need as much redemption as we can get our podgy little hands on.

V. Susan Ferguson, Contributor Waking Times In modern times we have all accepted a reality based solely on and limited to the five senses.

Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Dear Humans, Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that surrenders to a curious state called “normal.” Normal is a cultivated space, fashioned from how we see ourselves and how we’d like others to see us.

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times “You are the most valuable project of your life.” -Sifu Florin Szondi For years I would have disagreed with that statement.

Angela Pritchard, Guest Waking Times We all get angry. Even if we are aware of the harm it can cause, we often can’t help feeling it and in so many different ways – outbursts, irritation, frustration, forcefulness in opinions, glares, raised tones, curt responses, hurtful words, negative moods, and on and on it goes. We …
Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Dear Humans, Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that can manifest thoughts and ideas into reality.

Gary ‘Z’ McGee, Staff Writer Waking Times “You want weapons? Go to a library. Books are the best weapons in the world.” –Doctor Who Books have a way of capturing us that movies and documentaries simply cannot compare to.

Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Dear Humans, Today I wish to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that readily conforms to labels and titles.

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times I like to listen when I first come awake in the morning… to try and get a read on where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing during sleep. So this morning I listened, and the message was “No regrets, no worries.” Aha! That’s a good place to stand at …
Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Dear Humans, Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that condones violence under certain circumstances.
