Flock of Geese - my new blog
Some may consider this site a blog. I consider it more of a playground, only I'm usually playing with myself here.
I intend that my new blog, with a similar name, is a place where others will play with me.

What will I think of me the day that I die?
"What will I think of me the day that I die?" Julian Lennon, Saltwater*
Another way of saying “will I have regrets”, “did I do what I wanted”, “live up to my values”? It’s also another way to start mining my deepest feelings and values - one of the things I believe we should put our energy into and extract (as opposed to less renewable energy sources) - for the betterment of us individually, and collectively. I say this because I believe many of us care for each more than we demonstrate, or possibly even know. Not to say that there aren’t those who do demonstrate their caring – there are many, many efforts to help: help each other, help the planet, help other beings.
But often, it seems our hearts are not as well exercised as the rest of our body (and that’s saying a lot), thereby limiting our ability to participate fully in our lives. Just as being more physically fit improves our possibilities for more enjoyment, so does using our hearts. Admittedly, and like exercise, the more we practice caring, compassion, the more potential for pain and sadness. But, to me, that is also about more fully being human, leading to improved chances that I might think a bit better of me when I die.

"The information in this document shows that investment in human infrastructure is essential for a successful post-industrial economy. A central theme is that the stimulus plan can and should be a bridge to the kind of society we need: one where caring for humans and the planet is the primary economic driver."

Yesterday I finally met BJ, former teacher and principal, author, personal coach, and adventurer (among other things). We tried to met earlier but we are all so busy. I am grateful to find a friend, a colleague, a mentor, all within walking distance... well, almost!
