George Carlin on “Soft” Language

George Carlin “passed away” last week. I respect him for his anti-establishment tirades (although you have to take some of his humor as just that–humor). But he is brilliant. His humor is something that makes you laugh for a minute and makes you think for an hour (or two) afterwards.

Blast From the Recent Past 1: You Were There [Southern Sons]

What is Real Productivity?

What does it mean to be productive? A typical definition might be something like, “Getting the most done in the least possible time.” In a workplace context, this means one and only one thing: more work. If the process for a task can be streamlined so it can be done in half the time, then you can have your employees do that task twice as many times.

Still

This was written on May 16, 2002, on the 6th day of an 8 Day Retreat, in Sacred Heart Novitiate.

I do not remember the exact contemplation/prayer that made me write this poem, but I do remember the feeling of personal unworthiness and the overpowering love of God.
