Valhalla is a growing tribe of storytellers out to proliferate freedom culture
by igniting a global passion for sustainability, self-reliance, and collaborative action.

Slow and steady wins the race.

C-c-c-cooombooo breaker. No poems here today! Sometimes I worry so much about getting things done that I completely forget to enjoy doing it. I finish what I’m doing and look at my work, and find myself disappointed in the results.  A few stories have told me that the reason I’m disappointed is because I kept …

Maybe

It seems like there’s a bit of a theme this week with writing poetry. I’m down with that. I think poetry is a great way to express yourself. And since this micro-blog is about getting to know the members of Valhalla, I think it’s a good idea to throw in some pretty prose poetry. Here’s …

Sauté

lol! once again I find myself writing this micro-blog in the wee bit hours of the morning – a late entry – unfortunately.

Maybe the destiny of my entries are designed to align their entry date-and-time with …

It’s not about you. It’s about us!

I’ve been thinking a lot about entitlement this week, both physical and mental. I used to crave it like crazy when I was a teenager, even today I do, but I’m getting much better at ignoring it. When you really break it down, you can see how self-centered and illogical the concept is and it’s …

The World is a dangerous place to live; Not because of the people that who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. - Einstein

Evil Doesn’t Exist, Just Passive People

Today, I think I realized something pretty simple, but which has big implications for how I choose to act. Evil doesn’t exist:

If you witness evil in the world, don’t take it for granted, fix it. Assume everyone is good and that it’s your responsibility to fix the world around you if something isn’t quite right. Don’t complain, don’t assume the worst in others, because ultimately it’s your own world and it’s you and your children that’ll have to live in it. Therefore any evil is your responsibility, not something that “just is.”

Valhalla & The Law of Flight

Historians recognize the first legitimate flight attempts to have occurred in the late 1700′s. Some people were taken to the air and came back safely, and others were seriously injured. The Wright brothers (after several years of attempts) made …
