  • Mountains: Because They Are There - II
    Mountains may be the waving of the earth’s crust to the rest of the heavens as if to say hello. Just like the waves, mountains can fold, fault, and become residual, and like Tsunamis, for miles and miles around, volcanoes blow up and drown everything in sight inside their ashes.The majesty of the mountains has inspired myths to be created around them; Mount Meru in the center of the Himalayas was thought to be the axis of the universe as Mount Olympus was where Zeus resided.More

  • Empathy: The Key to Positive Human Interaction
    Yesterday, I had a discussion over empathy with somebody close to me who said, “Empathy is most needed in human communication, but empathy without sympathy has no humanistic value. A con man may feel empathy for you, but if he has no morals or feelings of sympathy, he can use that empathy against you.”This made me reflect on empathy.More

  • Water: The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and the Need to See Ourselves
    "Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink..." I first read Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner when I was in high school. Alongside with Poe's Annabel Lee, Ulalume, and Raven, this was one of those first verse-epics that made me love narrative poetry.More

  • Tact and Charisma: Required Assets in Today's Leadership
    Have you ever entered a social gathering, felt immediately drawn to a person, and seen that others also huddle around him? On the other hand, have you noticed yourself feel more at ease when a certain person is present in a crowd? Chances are, the person in the first situation had charisma and the person in the second situation had tact.More

  • Tragedy
    Ancient Greek tragedy was influenced by the Peloponnesian satyr play. As the Romans called them, "Satyrs" were fauns--goatlike creatures--who were famous for being constantly drunk and chasing nymphs. The word tragedy comes from the Greek tragoidia, consisting of two words.More

  • Looking Forward to 2006
    What will 2006 bring? As I try to foresee 2006, leaning on my educated or in reality not so educated guessing, I’ll begin with Sudoku puzzles. True, these puzzles are rooted in 2005, but one has to step back a little to get the wider view of the horizon.More

  • The Start of Television
    A six year-old commented, "TV is so necessary. What would I do without it?" I told him TV is a rather new invention and the idea of it dawned on its makers about a century ago.More

  • The Use of Colors in Poetry
    Do you remember, from your early education days, how you used to select colors from the Crayola box to color inside the lines? Maybe later on, your grade school teacher, to stimulate your imagination, asked you what any one color looked like, or smelled like, or tasted like.Poets, too, use their colors to trigger their thinking in similar ways.More

  • Who Is Afraid of Poetry?
    In the writing site where I belong, there is a SLAM underway. It is not the kind of oral SLAM that goes on in the coffee houses, but it is a friendly online poetry competition that is considered a huge event by our members. Poetry is a big craze in our site, and although the site is a general writing site, almost every member has tried his hand in poetry.More

  • Poetry Slams: Performance Plus Art
    Performance artists of all types enjoy the awe and the kudos coming their way from the general public. In return, any concert or performance turns livelier with audience participation. During the recent decades, more and more musicians--even those in the classical music field--have begun to encourage the audience to sing along or clap to the beat.More
