What principles define how you live?

  • Am I making order from chaos? DEEP ECOLOGY.
  • Am I content and self-aware? HEADSPACE. LIVING.
  • Am I living with dignity? QUALITY OF MIND & LIFE.

What the hell am I talking about: DEEP ECOLOGY!? I believe I am part of a stupendously complex ecosystem. I’m not superior to other parts of the biome. I could be snuffed out by my own stupidity and the Earth will continue chugging along. HEADSPACE & LIVING!? Meditation is crucial for my well-being. I don’t have chase after happiness, delirium, or delight (to pluck a concept from Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman saga). QUALITY OF MIND & LIFE!? I’m watching older friends and family members age and suffer profound health problems. You can bet your anus I have a living will, prepared power-of-attorneys, and plans so that I am not a burden to TS. I am living a fascinating life, post-education-teacher-thing. Never a boring day, eh.
