So. Who’d have thought. Certainly not me. I’ve moved past the why and why not’s. What day is the right day, what time is the right time. What would I say? Also importantly, what should or would I not say. And the most frightening of thoughts, do I have anything to say? Most of these remain unaswered questions, all but one. Today is the day, this time is the is the right time. For whatever reason the path I have traveled the past fifty-one years has led me here. How I was ever lucky enough to end up with my life I’ll never know. I had no plan. In the end, that was the best plan of all. I have only tried to go where life led without question, often at great peril I might add. I had but one mission, learn as much as I could from experience. For years I had no formal teachers. Then I woke one day and found that teachers were everywhere. I was surrounded by them everyday. Everyone was a teacher.
While the above statement would then inherently mean I am a teacher, I am no teacher. I look for dialogue with self and upon occasion fellow humans. (Most often when other humans are involved I’d probably prefer a bar. I feel a little awkward in social situations. Always have.) Rather I hope that what follows may serve as a travel guide and how to survival kit. A navigation tool for traveling life’s journey. Just bear in mind what follows is not my information. Everything I have I received from somebody else. I have tried to learn from success and failure alike. My motto is, “the only failure is learning no lesson.” For better or worse I can claim no credit for any of the information that follows. If you like what I say I credit my teachers, and vice-versa. I am not sure if I believe in original thought. I’m pretty sure I’m the first to think that.
Please bear with me, this is going to be a learning experience in many ways. Personally and technologically. My e skills are limited at best. Over time I pray that I transform my hunt and peck chicken style to a more piano like fluidity. That’s just my typing skills. You’re never to old. At least I hope not. Yeah, really, it’s that bad. Cut and paste. That’s what I do with my kids. Paste. Around a computer! Have you seen what that can do?
So, what the hell does all this mean? I will write about health and wellness, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I will provide links to information, other sites that I find useful. That sort of thing. The topics will be far ranging. One thing will remain constant. Everything will be through the lens of my personal understanding of Chinese Medicine and supporting philosophical base.
Oh yeah. Did I mention the food? I hope to give good info in the form of recipes and instructional videos for cooking. I love cooking and eating. Most people who do not like to cook don’t know how to cook. I love helping people discove the joy of cooking and eating in more sustainable ways.
I will also post various qi gong and stretching exercises in the form of video. I believe these can greatly benefit those that check in.
So buckle up. It could be a rough ride. But that’s OK. I ride ponies up the Mustang. I no scare.
