be like a cute newt. float.
hyperbarics work. or, as the redmayne lodge in york/uk claims: floating solves problems you don’t know you have in ways you can’t understand.
if lying in a closed oxygen chamber doesn’t sound appealing, find a pond and watch a few cute newts. they are amazing semi-aquatic amphibians who can teach us a lot: how to be mellow, and how to regenerate limbs, organs, and tissue. this includes heart muscle and the lens of its eye. the newts i watched on my hike through a nature preserve today looked so relaxed as they slowly floated around pond lilies , stretching their plumb and broad limbs as if to ventilate a heated body. they crawled into the lilies to feed on larvae and drowned flies, and gave one another ample space.
but the best part was watching them spread their limbs in the still water and just float. as if they gave the water permission to carry them. as if they gave their bodies permission to just hang. to just be. they don’t always have to perform superhero magic like growing a new tail, or a new heart, or kill their enemy with the mere moisture of their skin. they can do all those things because they know how to take breaks and just float. just hang. just be.
simple.

i do not believe in capitalization, because why should "i" be bigger than "you"?
i am the sum of my beliefs and more.
i believe in fairness and honesty, but i take nothing for granted. when i encounter exceptional fairness, honesty, and human kindness, i am moved beyond words.
i believe we all have what we need to be happy and feel purposeful and fulfilled, but sometimes we have a hard time accessing this well of wealth within us, and sometimes it helps if someone sheds a light and helps us get to it.
i want to be that person for others, the one who holds the torch or helps design a way through obstacles, a key (ki) to the solutions to what one considers a problem.
i am a forever learner, and will probably always travel and move on a quest for more knowledge and more insight.
i am driven by a perpetual sense that things can be improved.
i enjoy learning new processes, languages, exploring places, cultures, and i always thrive on "other".
other traditions, progressive innovation, indigenous cultures, languages.
and - i love to share what i learn.
i am self. aware.
