In a remarkably well-articulated story by Huffington Post blogger Robert Lanza, we are given a tour of recent research and contemporary thought into the nature of time. From the paradox of motion passing through many moments of time (like individual frames in a movie); Heisenberg’s inevitable uncertainties as to location and direction of moving objects; to the […]

Eventually, everything that can happen, does happen. The Bear learned this evening that it’s important to be sure the fermentation process is completely stopped before bottling a new batch of wine. Treesh and I make our own wine. This summer we made a wonderful batch of cherry wine, from sour cherries we picked from the […]
Earlier this evening The Bear was in Sauder Concert Hall on the midwestern campus of Goshen College, listening to the incredible harmonies and delicate musical precision of The Wailin’ Jennys.

THE MYSTERY DEEPENS (Who Is Tame Bear?) God knows I’m letting go Of the pain that’s deep inside God knows how hard it’s been and how I know how much I tried. As we sail on down the street In a multi-colored dream One by one together we can learn to be free. God knows […]
Camille 1994-2010 Camille was our first and oldest cat, and she has been a part of our family for 14 years. When Treesh and I first received her, she was probably already about two years old. She had been abandoned, left with a litter of kittens at the back door of Faire Isle […]
