Truth and reality reconciled

I believe and from time’s testing
I know it to be so,
that we can look for truth until all avenues
have been exhausted and still not find
the measure of it
                   that we seek.
 
Truth seeks us out
if we are open to the possibilities of what
                      That word contains
we should never be afraid
to let it enter in
                    and fill us up.

Baking up Easter memories…

by Louie Tacker - As Easter is fast approaching, I sit back and my mind fills with thoughts of childhood.

by Dr. Pelagio Vila, Jr.
THE classroom teacher is  perhaps the most underrated and most misinterpreted person in our nation’s labor force.
I say this because as  a classroom teacher […]

Summer Safety

As summer heat escalates, so does the mercury reading.
Expectedly, this Holy Week, we will be experiencing days in their most humid state, enough to make us want to either ‘jail’ ourselves inside air conditioned rooms, lounge on the veranda, take a trip to the resort of our choice or go to cooler places in the […]

Liking poetry…

On Poetry….
I like poetry, but poetry doesn’t like me. (Lol !) Well, I guess, I have not really tapped this area, as I am more inclined to writing features and columns.
Anyhow, I really like poetry. In college,  I had this subject on “Oral Interpretation” where we read stories, essays, poetry and all sorts of literature which we […]

Sperm donation - legal but very risky

by Louie Tacker
One night I was watching a show here in America called ‘60 minutes’ - a news show that has been on the air for more than 30 years now. It is a much acclaimed award winning show, which is aired on C.B.S. network, and I believe, is broadcast world wide. I usually don’t […]
