Happy day everyone. Tomorrow Jannie Funster will be here on the Front Porch if you’d like to say hello. In the mean time, I thought I’d share this ditty with you. I happened upon a comment yesterday and the last line stuck in my mind like glue. I can’t stop thinking about it so I…

RAOKA: Wisdom
June Theme: Wisdom (chosen by Lance) Wisdom deepens with experience and knowledge. I like to compare wisdom to a tree, the rungs vary in depth and color to reflect the seasons and years. As the years go by, the tree becomes stronger and deeply rooted in strength and fortitude. It can provide protection to the…
Nearing Half Way

Random Acts of Kick Arse: Gratitude
This month flowed with gratitude. And when I say flowed, I mean like Niagara Falls! Sami’s awesome RAOKA leadership has resulted in something special for me—almost like a cosmic shift. I have noticed repeatedly in my world that if one looks for something, one will find it. A tangential example: a close friend of mine…
The Harvard Psychedelic Club: Another Piece of the Puzzle

Plus, Mr. Lattin was formerly the religion writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, right in my own geographical backyard. Coolio! I was born in…
