Introductions

I am an older male, one of the first official baby boomers and like all of us a Chip off the old Cosmic block.  I grew up in a time when everything was getting better.  Looks to me as though that's no longer true from a comfort and consumer point of view. If you think of getting better as resulting not from creature comforts but from authenticity, honesty and self-awareness of our connection, then perhaps we are still progressing.  Many in my circle believe there is a new consciousness dawning.  This is what we like to hope. It still comes down to this - "We come into the world alone and we leave the same way.  What we do in between is up to us."  We can call it what we want - getting better, suffering, lonely, crowded, a mess, beauty unparalleled.

Once in a while I get upset, or grateful concerning what I see in the world.  Some of the stuff I come up with is deeply reflective and worthwhile, some of it is superficial and facetious.  Whatever you find it, I hope you'll find it helpful or disturbing.  Most of all I hope it will stir you to think about who you are and what you want to create in your life and even to take action to become or shall I say express, as in pressing out, more of your self.

Now that I've given you a little of my self perhaps you could give me and our one reader a little of your self.
