- What is the most important thing you have learned in your life?
- As soon as you feel a disturbance in your psychological state - it's time to get out the shovel and dig because there is something there for you!
- Describe a belief that you previously held and then subsequently changed. What caused you to change your mind?
- Beginning in my teenaged years and into my thirties, I fancied myself an existentialist and interpreted that as though we were spiritually alone. This led to a lot of sadness (and a lot of partyng)! When I started practicing yoga, I started to feel my heart, my energy body, and the interconnectedness of all things. My best friend is a powerful shaman (theempowermentcentre.com) who has helped me to experience this as a reality.

- Ammachi (www.amma.org). She embodies love and manifests it in a way which fulfills peoples real needs both material and spiritual.

- Relearn the skills of our ancestors and start to do things that are 'real' - connect with the land.
- What are your answers to the big questions: Who are we? Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we headed?
- Hmm, well I sense that we are souls in Earth School, headed toward reintegration with Spirit/God, whatever terminology doesn't make you cringe! Will willingly sacrifice any of my own concepts for 'the truth' if discovered.
- Why did you decide to join this community?
- To connect with like-minded others.

I am going to start a separate blog to explore my feelings about the recent and unexpected death of my brother at age 40. I started this in my Community blog for no particular reason other than I didn't have to think much to post a reply. I will try to move or cross-link to this blog at a later date.

Your daughter is so beautiful!! I like a lot of what you wrote in your profile. Your Most Important Thing, for instance... I agree about getting out the shovel when you notice yourself feeling ruffled about something. Actually, all the answers after that too. This community is pretty wonderful, isn't it!
enjoyed reading your profile - you're onto it, no doubt.
Welcome to the NHNE community.
Look forward to future interactions.
Love Ya,
Tony
Thank you so much for reading my poetry! Yup - writing from the mat for sure on those - resonated with your work as well - I have had similar soul urges!! I'll look forward to reading more of your work!!
I enjoyed your poems -- especially Seeking Light and Dream. Just posted one of mine, written 3 years ago on the yoga mat.
