    • What would our world look like with different choices?
  • Creativity Studies: About inspiration and life’s small triumphs.
  • Envirnmental activism: Take us to distant places beyond the edge of the world.
    • What is the definition of utopia? Dystopia?

  • The mythic world: Tell us about mystery and dark places.
    • Dreams, inspiration, the journey to wholeness.
    • About descent and emergence.
    • Heroes, Heroines, Fools, Antiheroes, and Villians all make the journey of descent and emergence. Tell us about journeys and quests. Good, evil, and indifference.
