“I am” I said – to no one there. No one heard; not even the chair.

Popeye the (spinach-eating) Sailor is famous for saying “I am what I am” – the same refrain the Biblical Moses heard from the Burning Bush when asking his “Lord God” who he was talking and listening to. Taking The Lord/God’s name in “vain” refers more to what we may say after “I am…” than an inappropriate reference to the Divine.

You have probably heard more than once that “everything is energy”.  Yet not all energy is the same.  This is a good thing, given all the “negative” talk about a supposed “energy crisis”.

There is a lot of talk today about “deficits” (and what is perceived and proclaimed as “lacking”, or “not enough”, in some way).

But, is there really a deficit (problem) at all – or just a difficulty in our default definition, distribution, and allocation of assets and resources?
