Because I’m hoping this will be a better waste of time than freecell….

It seems a universal law of (my) life that time will be wasted. So why not waste it in some semi-productive fashion like keeping a blog? Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now urges me not “to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking” (15) and yet I will still insist that our ability to think it is one of the most special and powerful gifts we as human beans have. And so this blog will be an outlet for reflections and observations, on trivial matters or matters of consequence, in an effort to both help me to remember, as well as to never take anything for granted. Contrary to my chosen blog title, I am not in fact, a ’stander on the mountain,’ I am still very much climbing.
