The Web Site of Darrell King. My posts from different discussion lists, email correspondence or just thoughts that came to mind. In response to a question asked on a list, I posted this quick down-and-dirty review of the Psychiatric Technician role. I held this job from June of 2007 to June of 2008 in a chemical dependency inpatient unit and it is not only the source of many valuable memories, but also of just as many lessons that I will carry forward into Nursing.

The Web Site of Darrell King. My posts from different discussion lists, email correspondence or just thoughts that came to mind. From a post on a discussion list. I liked the exchange regarding some points that often serve as centers of contention between Christian and Buddhist, yet are really not at all what they first seem.

The Web Site of Darrell King. My posts from different discussion lists, email correspondence or just thoughts that came to mind. From a post around the concept of the self as more of a process than a concrete thing:. Maybe I don't have a horse yet. But if I am really. A cowboy, I will have one someday! Jump to high school and a student teacher is talking with me briefly during a class break.

Thoughts and Musings: Eden, Heaven and Hell
http://darrellspen.blogspot.com/2010/06/eden-heaven-and-hell.html
The Web Site of Darrell King. My posts from different discussion lists, email correspondence or just thoughts that came to mind. Eden, Heaven and Hell. This evolved from a post on a Christian-Buddhist list discussing the nature of Heaven according to Christian mystics. Finding the common ground of historical messiahs and teachers in the common ground of human nature fascinates me. Likewise, there is heaven in serenity. No need to predict an afterlife - we can live in the moment free of the legacy of ...

Or was it a mindless stampede started by the guy who normally exits there? Is that pale, sweating elderly man leaning against the mall wall really OK as we all pass by or does he need an ambulance?
