Synergy...That's a most compelling word, one that I want this site to embody. I want the ideas of collaboration I have about this site to grow in whatever direction they choose. I'm not concerned with direction really, but I am more than a little curious as to where it will lead me, and hopefully you out there in cyberland that visit and contribute your own inspirations. I've got a really good feeling about things as of late...

The past few months have been relatively wild for me in regards to movement in my life and perspective, and I've been peddling as fast as possible to keep up, all the while trying to keep my mind open to possibility. It is AMAZING what and who shows up in one's life once you take a pro-active approach to growth on any level, especially when you make the effort with as little bias as possible. My dinner companions last night included my wife, a friend's father-in-law and my friend's two children. I scorched the hotdogs and semi-nailed the salmon, but it was in the end a good and just meal. What was remarkable, at least for me, was the conversation that entwined with the sharing of food & wine. The father-in-law, whose identity will remain secret so that the huddled masses don't beat a path to his door and rob him of his peace and tranquility, has a most amazing perspective of the way of things. I mostly sat and listened, but my mind just rips open whenever I'm around this guy. I've been living a life of boundary and limits for a good portion of my existence, but I'm realizing that 'limit' only exists when we create it, and isn't an actual function of natural law. Father-in-law is for me a muse of the highest order, and if you are reading this at some point, I don't mean to embarrass or scare you off. I'm simply acutely aware that you have shown up at a time in my life when I'm ripening quickly in my own curiosity and thoughts, and it's no accident. Thanks for sharing your world with me.

Okay, enough of that. What's on your minds out there me mi amigos and amigas? What's fueling your thoughts right now as you sit and read this? Are you happy, sad, melancholy, apathetic, enraged at some injustice, bored, fragmented, unaware, blissful...I hope you'll all choose to write at some point and express yourselves via this site. It's safe haven for all who show up, regardless of "where" along life's road you currently reside. We may have different addresses, but we all reside along the same road...Be kind, live large, smile...Newton
