If gifted people want to fit in, they obviously need sufficient Gifted Space. How much do you need? Read on . . . Take a seat in the sky and look down at people on the move. See how they respond when they get physically closer to each other. In Japan they’ll touch. In Texas […]

Luxury and the gifted do not always sit comfortably together. We are intense. We are obsessive. Our work ethic can make us dismissive of others.

I like marriage. It can be a painfully distorted condition. But at its best it’s the most powerful statement a couple can make as to their mutual faith in the power of love over fear. I’m happy for William and Katherine, royal bride and groom. I hope they’re able to build something of sense in […]

I’m not a Christian but I do have a fondness for some of the parables I heard as a child. They nudge us out of complacency with their simple statements of natural truth.
