“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.”
--Dale Carnegie
Reflection
“But honey, I never promised you a rose garden, but there have been some roses along the way!” My wife paused, and then replied “Yeah, there have been some roses along the way, but I’ve had to traverse a very thorny briar to reach the occasional rose you have offered me!”
Ouch, that hurt, but in all honesty, a true statement of fact. So many of us are so wrapped up in trying to negotiate the chaos of daily living threatening to devour us, we forget to enjoy the “roses blooming outside our windows”.
In today’s topsy, turvy, chaotic world, many of us are just trying to survive from day to day, often feeling like we are losing our minds trying to cope with the daily insults to our sanity. We “shelter in place”, scared and afraid, waiting for a bright light to guide us back to a more serene, tranquil time and place, we enjoyed in the distant past, located still, somewhere in the “rose garden” buried in the dark recesses of our mind.
Could it be, this memory of such a place, a beautiful rose garden where we forever remain happy and carefree, is but an illusion? Are the challenges we face during our journey of life, but mere illusions? I believe the true purpose of life is to discover who we are, how we relate to others, and how we relate to the world around us. We can only discover who we are by interacting with the world around us, learning from our mistakes, and improving based on what we learn. The discovery of self is truly awe-inspiring, if we will just look at the roses at our feet!
Petition:
Creator God, help me learn to live for today, enjoying the beauty of the world in which I live, actually stopping and smelling the roses at my feet, and experiencing the love all around me!

“A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself — to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.”
— Leo F. Buscaglia

In the fairy tale based on the original story first collected by Danish librarian Just Mathias Thiele, Chicken Little runs through the farmyard shouting, “The sky is falling!” after an acorn falls on her head. This example of someone catastrophizing is well known to most of us. Can you think of a “Chicken Little” you have met, who always seems to think the worst will happen after they experience actions or events in their life? Does Chicken Little demonstrate to us an insecure attachment style?
Attachment theory focuses on relationships and bonds between people, including those between a parent and child and between romantic partners. The British psychologist, John Bowlby, was the first attachment theorist, who described attachment as a "lasting psychological connectedness between human beings." The word “attachment” in this context means, the emotional bond that forms between infant and caregiver, and it is how the helpless infant gets primary needs met. This attachment provides the infant with a coping mechanism that can be accessed to comfort him during stressful moments that occur in the infant’s life.
Today, neuroscientists believe the primal need for attachment creates networks of neurons in the brain dedicated to setting into motion the process of attachment via a hormone called oxytocin. Researchers have identified basic patterns of attachment in children, including secure attachment, anxious-resistant attachment, avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment. It has been found that secure attachment tends to occur in children from sensitive, responsive caregiving, whereas the more problematic patterns of attachment from the lack of such caregiving.
Attachment styles in adults have similar labels as described in children as follows:
· Secure
· Anxious-preoccupied (high anxiety, low avoidance)
· Dismissing-avoidant (low anxiety, high avoidance)
· Fearful avoidant (high anxiety, high avoidance)
During your lifetime journey, you need to find ways to increase enjoyment in your life. Learning about the attachment effect may help each individual move toward secure attachment. By doing this, we can develop a healthy self-image, learn to treat others with respect, learn to resolve conflict for mutual benefit, become more compassionate, become selfless, become a good neighbor, and become a good, loving, world citizen!
Petition:
Creator God, help me discover my attachment style, so I can begin to relate to others in a more sincere and healthy manner, and ultimately, in my journey here on Earth, discover a genuine relationship with my loving, Creator God!

Tea! That's all I needed! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannin, just the thing for healing the synapses.
— Russell T. Davies
“You're like a lighthouse shining beside the sea of humanity, motionless: all you can see is your own reflection in the water. You're alone, so you think it's a vast, magnificent panorama. You haven't sounded the depths. You simply believe in the beauty of God's creation. But I have spent all this time in the water, diving deep into the howling ocean of life, deeper than anyone. While you were admiring the surface, I saw the shipwrecks, the drowned bodies, the monsters of the deep”
— Alfred De Musset

What does the following list of letter/number groupings mean: TheBarkKnight; axlbeau260; Domagoj83; Shanghai Sigh; FreeRangeRange; AydansLair; FD-148; Katrina666; promar1963; fabian985; Madmax16117; Mommylittle; The Rusty Banana; Dream Sequence; ChopNutz; Loose Tannin.
Kind of bizarre, right? Can you find a pattern or some common theme in the list above, or is it just a chaotic, jumbled list of senseless gibberish?
Give up? Would you believe the list is taken from names people have chosen for their avatar in an online game? Because I find the names so bizarre and interesting, I started researching the word meanings and origins of the names people have chosen, to see how the names they have chosen correlate with their style of play and the character they display in chat threads.
For instance, what if the player, Loose Tannin, comes across as a negative, insensitive, dominating, rude, overly critical, narcissistic, sarcastic, vindictive, toxic person while playing the game.
So, what can we glean from the name Loose Tannin and does this information give us any clue, why that person acts the way they do?
The word loose has many meanings: not firmly held or fastened in place; not tightly controlled or exact; having low morals, sexually free; to speak or express emotions very freely especially in an uncontrolled way. Hmmmm…it would seem, the last two meanings of loose may apply to the person, Loose Tannin, I have described.
I found the etymology of the word tannin very interesting! In my research, the word tannin has three meanings.
First, the scientific definition of tannin is a phenolic-based natural product, found mostly in the bark of pine, the wattle of mimosa and hemlock, in the wood of certain trees such as oak, quebracho and sumach, and grape skins/seeds/stems. Tannins are made up of two classes of phenols, flavonoids, and non-flavonoids. Tannins bind with proteins and precipitate them from solutions, creating compounds that are insoluble in liquid such as your saliva (responsible for the characteristic taste of wines, especially red wines), important for the wine’s longevity, and the liquids used in tanning hide. Okay, chemistry class is over!
Second, in Ancestry.com, tannin is listed as a surname, found in the USA, Canada, and Scotland, between 1841 and 1920. The most Tannin families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1880 there were six Tannin families living in Pennsylvania. This was about 75% of all the recorded Tannin's in the USA. Hmmm…Loose Tannin? Could that be the reason the name was chosen, a pickup line for the person choosing this name, having low morals or sexually free?
Third, the most interesting and the most applicable to this blog, is the word derivation I found which in general means “monster”. The word tannin is of Hebrew, Syriac, and Akkadian derivation, meaning a sea monster in Canaanite and Hebrew faith, often used as a symbol of chaos and evil.
Tannin is used in the Hebrew Bible fourteen times, in the book of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Job, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, explicitly listed as the creatures created by God on the fifth day of the Genesis creation and in other ways in the remaining books.
Tannin is listed in the apocalypse of Isaiah as among the beasts to be slain by Yahweh on that day, translated as the dragon in the King James version. Tannin is conflated with the related sea monsters Leviathan and Rahab by Christians. Tannin is also a name applied to ancient Egypt after the Exodus to Canaan. Aaron’s staff becomes Tannin, a snake, in the book of Exodus and meaning the “snake” in the book of Deuteronomy and Psalms. The word represents Nebuchadnezzar in Jeremiah, Pharaoh in Ezekiel, and in the book of Job, the protagonist questions God, “Am I the sea or the sea dragon that you have set guard over me”. Another interesting fact, the name Tannin has been given to the three submarines in the modern-day Israeli Navy. In modern Hebrew usage the word tannin means crocodile. Hmmm…it would seem, at least in antiquity, the word tannin has a mostly negative meaning!
Finally, when I researched the name Loose Tannin, used as a character name in an online game, the avatar chosen by that player was the avatar of Medusa. What, you couldn’t make this up, right!
The following description of Medusa is taken encyclopedia Britannica:
“Medusa, in Greek mythology, the most famous of the monster figures known as Gorgons. She was usually represented as a winged female creature having a head of hair consisting of snakes; unlike the Gorgons, she was sometimes represented as very beautiful. Medusa was the only Gorgon who was mortal; hence her slayer, Perseus, was able to kill her by cutting off her head. From the blood that spurted from her neck sprang Chrysaor and Pegasus, her two sons by Poseidon. The severed head, which had the power of turning into stone all who looked upon it, was given to Athena, who placed it in her shield; according to another account, Perseus buried it in the marketplace of Argos.
Heracles (Hercules) is said to have obtained a lock of Medusa’s hair (which possessed the same powers as the head) from Athena and given it to Sterope, the daughter of Cepheus, as a protection for the town of Tegea against attack; when exposed to view, the lock was supposed to bring on a storm, which put the enemy to flight.”
I don’t know about you, but what I found out about the name is kind of scary!
Petition:
Creator God, help me recognize the toxic people in this world so I can stay away from them before their character flaws affect me in a negative way! Instead, help me find the “good” people in this world I can associate with, to make this journey more pleasurable for the short time I’m here on this Earth!

LYRICS
There's blood in the water
And they're coming to bring me down
What's hope with no savior
Yeah, there's no one in this ghost town
She looked right through me
And I turned to stone
Medusa, Medusa, I've been here alone
And I crumbled to pieces
My body, my weakness is on the floor
And the wind will blow and blow
And I won't be here no more
My wishing well has run dry
Stars are dying in the sky
So I'll shed my blood and tears
I'll show no fear just to survive
She looked right through me
And I turned to stone
Oh Medusa, Medusa, I've been here alone
Ahh, ahh
Ahhhh
She says, mortal one you've been chosen
You're beautiful, but you're broken
So hold on to this moment
And fight until you're hopeless
There's secrets and riddles
That live in these walls
There's ghosts of past heroes
And I hear them call my name
We won't be tamed
Oh, she looked right through me
And I turned to stone
Medusa, Medusa, I've been here alone
She looked right through me
And I turned to stone
Oh Medusa, Medusa, I've been here alone
Ahh, ahh
Ahhhh
Ahh, ahh
Ahhhh
