Writing in E-Prime

Waking on this day brings happiness for my family. A day of rest and family time always welcome. The day well planned and full for all with important activities and engagements. Some of which are, first and foremost, Sunday breakfast, lego time, homework time, cleaning and meeting with friends at the plaza. I feel the energy of the morning coming in through the Eastern direction of the patio and welcome the sun. Good Morning! Birdsong fills the air and brings happiness. Soon I decide to begin some serious work around the house for a while and then into homework. Running back and forth to the plaza providing rides is anticipated. I feel a sudden sense of panic that passes when I begin to water the garden. Ah the morning, savor the day, stay in the moment. Breath and relax is the message today.

8/8/18 Bionics: The development of a bionic person and it's use in the military

8/8/18 Supporting Bionics for Humans? My first feeling about this topic is that I would support the option of bionics for humans in need of limbs, in place of old prosthetic limbs that have previously existed. I have not had to worry about this personally for myself or any of my family members, but I imagine that for someone who does, advances in science in this field are really important for having a more functional, happy life. I had a childhood friend who didn’t need a prosthetic limb, but was disabled and needed braces from the waist down as a child to assist with walking. These things were heavy, stiff, ugly and just archaic! It sounds like newer developments are moving toward more sophisticated options that are more accessible for average people. The UK based tech company mentioned in our readings is using 3-D printing technology to create prosthetic limbs which are more affordable. This sounds like a good thing. Especially for a child, being mobile and being able to do t

Week Three Assignment Explaining Connectivity Based on what I know now, I believe all is connected, although I don't completely understand how. I believe there are energies at work that we cannot see.  I look at examples such as the meridian system in Chinese medicine. The channels are not separate; where one ends the other begins. Yin and Yang. Where one ends the other begins. One can transform into the other.  It seems, we cannot see all things at all times, but rather it seems we mostly see just a piece of something at any given time. Maybe there are those moments when we see multidimensionally that we discover synchronicity and connectivity. Even though I believe all things are connected whether one realizes it or not, I also think one's believe plays a powerful role in how we view our world. I am always so shocked at how differently two people can interpret the same incident! Additionally, most of us aren't skilled communicators (myself) or active listeners and it m
