"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams . If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.

With the recent political and social unrest regarding Mexican immigration and the negative reaction to President Bush's speech on the issue, many of us have developed a point of view that has less to do with facts than it has to do with popular opinion.

Emotionn. :: in its most general definition, emotion is an intense mental state that arises autonomically in the nervous system rather than through conscious effort, and evokes either a positive or negative psychological response.My two cents, if desired: Your first reaction to any situation will almost always be based entirely upon an emotional response. This is an internal chemical reaction

I am an artist. I believe that one of the greatest forms of art is the art of music. Music can express many thoughts and emotions in a way that no other form of art can. I have been involved in music for the majority of my life. From age five, I was singing in church. My sisters and I would (as embarrassing as it was) parade down the isles of the church singing songs like Sandi Patty's "

At the end of your life you will see that you are built on an accumulation of experiences. Think of this, if you live your entire life in a box with a window that points to the west, and there is a desert to the west, is not that desert and the box all you will know? This box is great! It has become your comfort zone and you love being there. It’s just you, your box, and the desert.

Sometimes I sit in awe of how people react to life around them. We all have our reasons (however small) for the things we do. Sometimes one may be alone in the understanding of those reasons, but the reason is ours nonetheless. Sometimes I sit and think about the numerous instances of completely unmerited emotional responses to a situation. Why did I lash out? What did they do that was so wrong

Not to one, but to many: Take a moment; look at me from where you stand. You will see a gaze from eyes of a mysterious brown. And right you should. Because that is what you see, it is what you believe. After all, why would we disbelieve our own eyes and thought? It's a complex process of course, but one we rely on every day. Routinely, we eat our healthy choice bowl cereal in the morning,
