In the vast, interconnected web of the cosmos, we often find ourselves searching for the Divine in the distant stars or abstract equations. Yet, the most profound evidence of the universe’s nurturing nature is found much closer to us.

Before we can contemplate the "non-physical reality" of a Creator, we must acknowledge our immediate creator. Our mother i

In 1973, the actor Anthony Hopkins was cast in a film called The Girl from Petrovka . Eager to prepare, he went searching for a copy of the original novel by George Feifer but found that every bookshop in London was sold out. Disappointed, he headed home.

The modern psyche is perpetually conditioned by two interlocking ideologies: the ephemeral decree of "YOLO—You Only Live Once" and the imperative that, to fulfil it, one must be perpetually happy. This contemporary dogma, however, stands 180 degrees opposite to reality.
