Hiya old friends. I've sorta dropped off the radar and all lately, but I thought I'd pop in and say high, and take this opportunity to babble incessantly about quasi - meaningful things, in no particular order.

I've been thinking a lot about the world lately, and once again I'm in a transitional phase in my life. I've graduated college. I'm getting married in July. I'm joining the work force temporarily until my love and I shove off to join the Peace Corps. Upon my return, four years of education stand between me and a wellspring miracles until the day of my death.

Never before in my life has my path been so determined, yet never in my life have I felt so free. Choosing my mate has given me a sense of joy that I never knew. Together we learned that there was a price to pay for unconditional love. To paraphrase Geddy Lee, we both paid the price, but never counted the cost. Loving someone unconditionally is one of the greatest sacrifices a person can make. And fortunately for me has paid off. I never knew life could be so fufilling until I gave up half of it to share with another.

Love is as much an embrace as it is letting go. When 2 become 1 the universe unfolds. Yet at the same time, ever since I truly fell in love and gave up the idea of ever loving another is what empowered me to achive the desires of my ego.

. . . SO what is it that my ego wants? Peace, Justice, Compassion, Freedom, Liberty, Equality, Growth and Wealth of Spirit for all living things. I grapple with how to best achieve these things, but it is my greatest desire to leave this earth quantitatively better off in these arenas than they were before I entered this earth.

--- I have a lot more to say (I've got a lot of catching up to do) but I'm sleepy. I hope that this autobiographical rant gives some of you some InSight into my life, and at best makes you feel less alone.

Never forget to love.

Arjuna out.
The transcendent is immanent.
