although it’s a pretty exhausting experience, i am getting a second wind to express my first impressions before it’s lost in a post processed bin. generally, many of the concepts are pretty fimilar to me but the context has been modifified to be more easily experience first hand. i certainly appreaciate the ‘break through’ aspect as it very much parallels the experiantial wisdom of buddhism. ulimately, that’s the real power of the workshop is for people to really experience the deconstructions of their stories and how it limits their present moment. the past does not equal the […]

the wonderful show that is six feet under gets under my skin again. in a good way of course because somehow it seems too fimilar with my own life. i seem to be able to identitify with all the characters on some level. it’s the sort of metaphysical humor that particularly jingles my tinkerbells. in particular, tonight’s episode in reference to ‘the plan’ education workshop that the mother takes and she seemingly becomes quite more empowered by the workshop. of course the joke is that none of her kids appreciate her empowerment and she is left frustrated.

i was listening to npr this morning in my half waken state, a new habit that i’ve recently formed in the past year (thanks to my roommate), and the program was entitled ‘this i believe’. in short, it’s a reading of one’s philosophy within a span about 3 mins, which does seem quite about right. anymore and it would be challenaging to follow and many of us tend to over articulate. today’s author was particularly interesting in that she had apparently written the same type of eassy 50 years ago when she 16 years old. so, it […]
