Quiddity

Quiddity

I’m amazed by the way one word can fire off a whole line of thought. This is a good one: quiddity. The word “quiddity” (Latin quidditas) is one way to denote the idea of the real nature or essence of a thing, the very thing that makes it what it is. Literally, it translates as “whatness” or “what it is.” That sounds very individualistic to an American ear, and “what is it” sounds like it might be referring to the…

Sometimes I Just Want

Sometimes I Just Want

Sometimes I Just Want To fly through the sky, carefree, in freedom. To heal anyone of anything. To know, understand, and be able to communicate in every language. To sing well enough to make other people cry. To leap through the air like a dancer. To skip and not worry if I look absurd. To play, mingling imagination and reality like a child. To run at full speed, for as long as I want to. To hide anywhere by fading…

What a Week

What a Week

There’s been some drama in the Virushead household. Part I: The Hubby: Last Friday, J went unconscious twice in the middle of the night (so that’s technically Saturday).

Not a thing I could do, and we both sustained some minor injuries….

Power Blog Award

Power Blog Award

Bingkee from I Love/Hate America has bestowed the Power Blog Award upon VirusHead. Thanks Bingkee! I love these awards that circulate among fellow bloggers. It’s a graphic nod of the head to enjoyable blogs. The original Power Blog award required all sorts of rules to be posted and ten other blogs to be named. All that has dropped off, and that’s for the better. Awards like this have become a bit less viral. I don’t think many people really try…

JW Video

JW Video

I just have to mention Spiritual Brother’s Bible Research blog for its stunning collection of Jehovah’s Witness videos and documents. I had never seen Pastor Russell preach before, and now I can understand how liberating and authentic it must have seemed at the time. Today’s post really got to me, so I’m posting the video from YouTube. Historical photographs are set to a group of people singing the Kingdom Song “Take Sides with Jehovah!” (Exodus 32:26). It almost brought me…
