“And does this mean the end of all Mankind? I sincerely doubt it, because a state of balance and harmony is not found by living in a continuous state of discord with Nature. In our work with troubled Dogs, Mrs. LFM and I must seek to restore and cultivate the Way of the Wild as […]

Clem Hiltz died on the 17th day of April, 2008. Dying was the last thing he ever did, but in all 96 years of his accomplished life, it was the least notable. Dying doesn’t make anyone unique because sooner or later everybody is going to do it. It’s the challenges living brings, how they are […]

Baltasar Gracián (8 January 1601 – 6 December 1658) was a Spanish Jesuit and writer. A thorn in the side of his superiors for a number of reasons, not least for his propensity to publish his personal views without official permission, and once having read from the pulpit a letter he said he had just […]
