thank you Mike

I haven't blogged for months but received the sweetest message from Mike, who found me and Lynn Ruth by accident. Lynn Ruth and I have been waxing on and on about what wisdom is and how we should try to keep focused on staying true to ourselves...Lynn Ruth has more wisdom to offer than me because she's been more places, learned more and has written more about it and more insightfully. I still feel like an amateur, if not a fraud, most of my days, but apparently Mike was drawn in by all of our comments. Thank you Mike: you spurred me on to blog once again.

My last message was about giving unconditionally because I see so little of it in some of the members of my own generation-- maybe it takes someone to write a book with the title "10 things to give before you're dead" rather than the self-indulgent 100 places one needs to visit before one dies.

I am still clueless about what I want to do next in life, but I do want to live more selflessly, change careers and mean something in/to the world...but even these words seem narcissistic at best and I haven't quite figured it out yet. It may come, as I explore this issue more deeply in this resumed blog. Lynn Ruth, are you in?
