Truths (since we have illusions, and at the risk of getting overly heavy, yada yada)
- Truth #1: There is always some truth in what others say to you, or about you.
- Truth #2: Nothing expressed in words is ever completely true.

- Truth #8: Every person is capable of loving everyone and everything.
- Truth #9: Nothing is required to make you happy.
- Truth #10: Nature is not especially concerned about your existence.

About Me
- Traveler
- Life involves an endless reckoning and experimenting with balance. As we learn and experience, the fulcrum shifts, and we find new equilibriums. These two blogs respresent contrasting ends on the balance. Ego leads us through the world, and presents our face to others. But too much ego is vanity, desperation and despair. The sublime, the empty, on the other hand (or the other side of the brain) provides a deep richness, sense of connection and love. Yet it will not feed us, cloth us, and maintain us in the world. Each side can play tricks and appear through illusion. Through the heart, a balance is found.
