i had two wonderful conversations today with two very different women of tender age of 35. the scope with one was more along the lines of a pond while the other covered areas closer to a great lake. it’s been a long time since i sat around in a cafe and had long conversations of the second degree. it reminded me the days of college when it was so exciting to meet new people and you can spend a lot of time just meeting new people all the time. these days, i am lucky if i meet […]

i actually had a converstation longer than 2 minutes with my dad tonight. i don’t think it made the 10 min mark but it was more meaningful than the traditional lectures that he usuallys gives me. lecture may not be quite the approriate word but our conversations tend to be very simple in nature and mostly a one way converation. as much as i would like to start having a ‘real’ conversation with him, i feel like he would probably get lost with the english after 5 mins, which would be the same for me when the […]

i don’t know how people can do any assigments after 12 plus hours of listenig and being witness to some pretty intense experiences. regardless, more progress was made in terms of ‘insights’ but i am still resisting the whole enroll concept with of the program. yeah, i am sure i can get a lot more out of it by sharing but i got enough got of it for now. my ‘story’ is that i don’t quite buy the stragtegy that you can’t recreate yourself without publicly expressing your realization and story to the people closest to you.
