“Every single human being is neurologically predisposed to be biased in various walks of life. It is biologically impossible to be absolutely free from all biases, nevertheless, the more a person rigorously trains the self to be rational and conscientious, the more that self becomes strong enough to keep the biases in check, never to let them run rampant over the psyche.

“She wept for herself and the changes that had been wrought in her, because sometimes even change for the better felt like a little death.” — Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“Change is real, but time is not. Time is only a reflection of change. From change, our brains construct a sense of time as if it were flowing.” — https://www.space.com/29859-the-illusion-of-time.html

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

My name is Lisa Marie and I'm a blogger, aspiring essayist, and collage artist exploring what is intrinsic to the human expirience and necessary for existence at all.

Here you will find a mix of my personal writing and poetry, daily journal entries, and a scrapbook of inspirational quotes, art, music and more.

In addition to this space, I am also creating Zen and Pi, a digital publication exploring the space between what is real and what is ideal in the realm of humanity.

Take some time to poke around, and if you find you like what I'm doing here and want to help support it, please consider donating a cup of coffee, to keep it going.

THANK YOU AGAIN!
