A life set on autopilot is unexamined, unfulfilling and boring. I strive to make more conscious choices than unconscious ones. I explore the things that interest me to the depths. I flitt from one topic to another as if I were chasing a butterfly. Many times I come back around to the same theme and explore it on another level months or years later. Some themes are consistent: spirituality, arts, health and water. The threads within those topics vary widely.

I am into function and practicality. I am into mixing and matching. What works? How does it work? How can it work better? Does it make my life easier, funner, more satisfying? Do I feel better? I set up mini-experiments and I am my own guinea pig. Scientific rigor is lacking because I always have more than one experiment going on at a time so there may be overlapping influences. I like it that way.

I like to share my observations with others. I have let go of making others see things my way. Well, some might debate that point. I am learning what is my business and what is not my business. If it is not my business, I try to state no opinion unless asked.

Doesn't that feel good?
