Narrative's voice According to narrative theorists like French literary critic, Roland Barthes, “The author of a narrative is in no way to be confused with the narrator of that narrative” (The Cambridge Introduction to Narrative, 2008). Do you agree? |

Aging and Creativity I find Gene D. Cohen’s essay on Creativity and Aging to be encouraging (A Guide to Humanistic Studies in Aging 2010). Dr. Cohen is challenging conventional wisdom regarding what researchers in the past have chosen to either disbelieve or ignore; Creativity increases with age. I find his Creativity equation fascinating. |

Is the glass half full? "I have reigned more than fifty years in victory and peace," the great caliph Abdul Rahim once remarked. "During this time I have been beloved by my people, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure have all been at my beck and call, nor has any earthly pleasure been missing to complete my sense of perfect bliss. In this situation I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness that have fallen to my lot. They number fourteen." |

The 'Elderly' Debate Most of us have our causes that we embrace. Dr. Bill Thomas feels the same way as I do about a specific overused word: Elderly. See the link at his blog and ask yourself if you feel the same way as Dr. T and I. |
