It isn’t news to any of us that there is a fine line between self-aware and self-absorbed. Statistically social science tells us that we all think we are more self-aware than we actually are. That makes sense, of course. We all have unconscious blinders, aka childhood and cultural conditioning, that prevent us from seeing ourselves accurately. That’s why we are here in this clutzy animal body inhabiting our life as if we understand what’s going on here. I don’t know about you, but I feel increasingly clueless. Not for lack of trying to grow and become more conscious. It is, after all, the only dance in town. The unexamined life is not worth living, as Socrates said.

This blog has saved my life too many times to count over the years, both my physical and mental well-being. I cannot find words to express my gratitude for your readership; it is a huge privilege. But I struggle every single time I sit down at the keyboard to spill my guts here. It feels so self indulgent. My constant hope is that you each find something useful or insightful for your own well being. And I know that I repeat myself a lot. I find it near impossible to believe that I have anything interesting to say. I wish you’d all ask questions or comment about your interests.

Today I’m feeling particularly vulnerable. So I will revert back to sharing an old video I’ve shared before. I watch it from time to time just to remind myself that this is all sacred.
