I still want to share, big time, and I think that’s the most fun when there’s a specific focus. For example, I loved, loved, loved doing our home renovation blog and cannot wait to do another one of those!  This time my goal is to do daily posts and also to link to it at other reno/building/design sites.   That, and sharing it with friends and family throughout the project, should provide a clear sense of audience and connection.

I’m trying to think of a clever focus for our next road trip (coming soon.)  When we drove from SF to Grand Blanc in 1999 Gumby and Bendy rode on the dashboard and got photographed in scenic locales like the Hoover Dam.  That was a specific story, and it was fun.  I haven’t been hit by divine inspiration yet so, as Jeph would say, “Please hold.”

As inscribed at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi “Gnothi Seauton”, or “Know Yourself.” Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his 1831 poem of the same name, says it’s all inside of you, baby:

This is the reason why thou dost recognize
Things now first revealed,
Because in thee resides
The Spirit that lives in all;
And thou canst learn the laws of nature
Because its author is latent in thy breast.

I’ve been aware of my connection to the cosmic energy/spirit for many years. Maybe I was born understanding it. But it is so easy to get distracted by the physical realities, and daily challenges, of life, and lose sight of that connection. And without taking time to be still and know yourself, balance and clarity are elusive, as is the connection to what is really Real.
