Stuck in a Rut?

By Reginhard OR Have you ever found yourself stuck in a rut? Most people have, let’s be honest sometimes it seems like a constant rut.

Function, Faith, Frith

by Michael Boyd AOR In the microcosm and macrocosm there exist paradigms, or patterns, that determine everything. Plato called these “forms”, they are also known as Ideals.
