On my way to airport THIS minute...will arrive in Bangkok 11:45 pm local time on Friday evening. Chat soon!"Routines and habits are the Known, protecting us from the Unknown. Habits are also called home. Habits tame the raw wilderness of existence into the civilized comforts of everyday life. Unfortunately, as we all know, habits gradually domesticate all the wildness and energy out of life. So much energy gets bound up in routines and habituated patterns, keeping them alive, that your life goes dead instead. Thus, if you want to discover again the wild side of life, you have to leave "home"; you have to break or dissolve your habits in order to release the energy locked up inside them." --Ed Buryn, Vagabonding in the USA (1980) (via Rolf Potts' Vagablogging.net)

PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
Now Reading
Keith Ferrazzi: Who's Got Your Back: The Breakthrough Program to Build Deep, Trusting Relationships That Create Success--and Won't Let You Fail
Started to read this in the bookstore, and got hooked. The 1st business book I've read in probably 4 years.Adyashanti: The End of Your World: Uncensored Straight Talk on the Nature of Enlightenment
Re-reading as I found my copy left behind at my Mom's. Really grok it much deeper than I did two years ago. Priceless if you think you are "struggling" in non-abiding awakening.M. Scott Peck: The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace
Just started, but compelled by the model of moving from pseudo-community (where everyone is fake nice) to a true community where no one is trying to change anyone else; and collaboration truly flourishes.Michael Scott: The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
Just checked out of library. Adore fantasy, fairy tales, and myth. And when the jacket said that Michael Scott was an authority on mythology and folklore, I was hooked. Plus I still have designs on writing my own mythic tale down soon.Steven Johnson: Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation
Really intrigued by the title. Fabulously diverse in examples. If you ever felt like a square in round world, this book will make you sing for joy because that's what life is about--growing, moving, evolving.... The book is much stronger for being in Science section and not restricted to business innovation alone.

Evelyn, I once read a quote something along the lines of, "follow the path with the heart." And that's what you're doing. Looking forward to reading about it.
