| Yesterday I was thinking about my death and how it will inexorably reach me someday.
What will happen after this life...Is God really out there, waiting to embrace our souls or is there only the sheer horror of oblivion? Vanities of vanities!
After I think such thoughts there's always a rush...my heart races, my mind goes wild and I start jumping up and down and flailing my arms around, despairing like any other mortal would...
I'm always reminded that our lives are short.
Forgive those who have trespassed against you.
Cherish your daily bread...
It's true that I could die tomorrow, but why worry for tomorrow will care for itself.
So take a deep breath...
Write a poem. Fall in love. Study the stars. Fellowship with your friends!
Live. And Die. And with faith, live again!

| "I never loved nobody fully..."
The way gibbons and other great ape species obtain food results in two, very opposite styles of social attachment: monogamy or polygyny.
Gibbons are monogamous or pair bonding. Both sexes have an equal investment in taking care of offspring, while most other great ape species are polygynous...some like the bonobos or chimpanzees are especially promiscuous.
But how does scavenging for resources create such different mating habits?
Gibbons are mostly frugivorous so they usually fly around in the trees looking for this precious resource while the omnivory of the other great apes allows the females to be able to fend for themselves allowing the males less parental investment responsibilities.
When both males and females are less sexually dimorphic and food is comparatively more difficult to find, monogamy ensues. The more difficult it is to survive and the less inequality existing between two partners, the more faithful they are to one another.

| Fire Study, Book 3
By Maria Snyder
After having been thoroughly impressed by Poison Study and Magic Study, I have eagerly anticipated the final novel in the Study Trilogy. Character development was superb
in the first two novels but Fire study had too many things going on at
once. There were witty moments but at times the novel felt contrived...especially Valek's "death" and Yelena's time in the underworld. Several emotional reactions reminded me of poorly written korean dramas while the non-stop flow of events left me both breathless and wanting respite.
Don't get me wrong this is a good book in a short series and the ending successfully releases us from a long, romping journey...But
I can't help but feel let down after such initial promise.
