Welcome To Vilcabamba
"The Sacred Valley of Longevity"


This Is A Privately Circulated Blog, scribbled exclusively for Friends & Familiars, that peers into and pontificates about Expat life in the hinterlands of South America. If your eyesight is less than optimal (like mine), then just click the type size up a notch on your browser..


Here you will find a series of curmudgeonly commentaries that I've posted from atop my rickety old soapbox for the past few years. And yes, there are indeed political rantings, so place your seats in the upright position and fasten your seat belts .... it may be a bumpy ride.

Are You REALLY Seeing What's Happening Today?


As all of you know, there are conspiracy theories floating around in the "alternative media" about everything! OK, but how about what is happening right in front of your very eyes. What about the things that are happening "concealed" in plain sight.

Sometimes you have to teach yourself how to look more closely, to see what is there that is hidden just beyond "normal" sight. One of the best examples I know is found in the artwork of Bev Doolittle. Go ahead, test yourself …. don't be distracted by the brightly colored fox, look a little closer! Then look again. OK, are you ready?

Yep, there's a lot more than you thought, right? So next time you listen to the news or read your favorite news media, remember the picture above. Most of what is happening to us is right there in plain sight ... we just aren't looking closely enough.

Quit trying to complicate things. This is how they got so screwed up in the first place. Remember, the answers are always right in front of you. Just look!
