Jeph conceived of, and I started, this blog with the intention of writing about external experiences and the choices we make about how we outwardly live our life: what we eat, what we buy, the energy we use…What I’ve been inspired to reflect on so far, though, is largely internal: what I’m thinking and feeling -and the psychology, philosophy, and spirituality of it – as I move through my days.  I would love to be more humorous, and metaphorical about it, like Misty and her overall approach to life, as exemplified by her witty, candid, and funny blog.  She’s someone who has the sun glowing within her.  You experience it through her smile, her laugh, and her stories.  For someone who’s dealt with many challenges in life, her consistently positive energy is inspiring.  It’s great to be around.   I don’t think I was born with a lot of natural fire, and that’s probably why I’m such a sun worshipper.  Heating up from the outside actually penetrates my inner realms (my soul) and helps me stoke the small flame.  Yes, it’s pretty esoteric, but there’s a lot more going on here than material reality and one of the abiding themes of this life, for me, is seeking understanding of the other dimensions.  The goal, of course, is to be able to share the insights (with an awareness that we all must ultimately learn our own lessons.)
