What it means to wear the Cape

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Jan 18, 2010, 2:03 pm
Whether you understand it or not, to your child, you are Superman. At least it starts off that way. When it comes to fathering there is nothing sadder than a Dad falling from grace. Being a Dad means managing a daily cluster of different hats – much like Superman. Your daily report card is visible...

Back to the Start

If you read this blog before then you know I love Coldplay. Although many of their songs resonate with my particular mood swings, one has stayed with me despite either high or low elevations in my temperament . “Yellow” is my favorite Coldpay song. Why? Well, a big part is the openin...

New Year's Day

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Jan 1, 2010, 12:14 pm
Another year is upon us and it’s a new decade at that. I can hardly believe an entire decade has gone by since Y2K. Remember that fiasco? Everyone thought thier computers were going to blow up. It’s hard to imagine our lives without the wonders of the millenium’s first decade. We w...

Abstractions of the Brain

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Nov 9, 2009, 7:40 pm
I try not to look too deep into things. It seems the more I did, the more clutter gets in the way. Instead, I’m advocating a “face value” approach. Why not take people for exactly what they say, mean or blurt out? If someone says, “Get out of my way,” I’ll get out of their way and that...

Spirituality, the New Religion:Are Americans beginning to choose liberation over salvation

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Nov 1, 2009, 4:38 pm
Spirituality has gripped the American public around the throat over the last three decades. What started as a movement of enlightenment in the late 1960s, with the Beatles visiting the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, has gradually gathered moss among new age philosophers and recently mainstream Americana. Wi...

Human Beings are Divine Creatures, not in Need of Spiritual Guidance

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Oct 28, 2009, 10:34 am
Every major religion denounces the notion of human beings deriving from God. Most people were raised with the notion that we are created in God’s image, but that is as far as most are willing to believe. The concept of humans deriving from God is not blasphemous, just a different understanding of ...

The Divine Destiny of the Phillies

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Oct 22, 2009, 10:48 am
One-hundred seventy years ago these United States of America began to spread democracy across our great nation. Some Americans would dare to say the original mission of annexing our lands to the west is still going on today, although on a global level. Our foreign policy is still unclear with our cu...

Homework

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Oct 21, 2009, 6:05 am
I doubt any adult would look back on their youth and say, “I loved doing homework.” I never did. In fact, I would rush to get my homework completed before I even left class. If we were given a reading assignment, I would skip it; if we were assigned anything that didn’t require handing somethi...

Intelligence doesn't ensure Happiness

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Oct 14, 2009, 6:03 am
I met with a friend, a professor, that is one of the most intelligent people I know, but unfortunately, he constantly worries about the future and complains about any and everything – a useless combination. I use to be one of those constant complainers. I would say things like, “the government i...

Accepting Violence ensures Violence

John V. posted an article on Single Parent Plus 2 - Oct 12, 2009, 3:09 pm
I’ve been meditating about ahimsa now for the past week. I’ve also been reading about Buddhism and the way Buddhists practice ahimsa. Eastern philosophies differ greatly from our western point of view, and so much gets lost in the translation that I must point out a major disparity. When people ...
