I'd like to meet:

People with imagination.

I love reading. This quote inspires me: "I have many reasons why I think reading is really important. It provided for me a refuge, especially during difficult times. It provided me with the notion that I could find an ending that was different from what was happening to me at the time. And when I look at reading now, I think it's also that with imagination; that is the closest thing that we have to compassion and empathy. When you read about the lives of other people, people of different circumstances or similar circumstances, you are part of their lives for that moment. You inhabit their lives and you feel what they're feeling and that is compassion. If we see that reading does allow us that, we see how absolutely essential reading is. That compassion is not anything we are going to learn through psychology, or sociology or cultural courses. And it's so vital, especially today when we have so much misunderstanding across cultures and even within our own communities." -Amy Tan

Dont Do Sadness/Blue Wind

So occasionally a song runs parallel with your life. And the songs "Don't do sadness" and "Blue Wind" are somewhat acting like my soundtrack to my inner thoughts of late. The cello, the violin, the ly...

Well guys. A metaphysical update.

You may be wondering where I am. I'm in a place where you throw stones on a lake attempting to make them skip. It's so beautiful when you can make them go far, to travel as if they were made of air. I...

I think this is a turning point...

...in some way. A classical piece made me cry. Beethoven. Spring. It’s so different from what has moved me.

Just a time to splash my face at the reflecting pool...

So I find myself gearing up for another determined push at losing weight. I have my protein bars. I went on the treadmill today. I try to remind myself to think of myself as slimmer and fit so that on...
