Maybe this blog should be about me, maybe it shouldn't. All I know, or at least think I know, is that we are all travelers (clichéd, I know, but at least I didn't say "sojourners") heading, somewhere, or not! but even no destination is a destination right! Is it that important to know where we are headed if we can't even bring ourselves to know where we are at right now? Anyway, any unimportant stuff about me is in my profile, this blog is just my ramblings, care to call me an idiot, care to call me wise. What you think about me is none of my business! but at least let me prompt you to a thought or two. Being as thoughts are as mysterious as "Schrödinger’s Cat", or equally none mysterious. In short! Would all those that get it, please take one step forward! Or shorter still! Why the Why?

I think open-mindedness, is not about taking a position or a point of view, I honestly think that it involves the ability to understand that another person has a different point of view than our own, and has probably landed on that view because of filters built into their makeup by many generations, worldviews and cultures. It is not that they, or I for that matter are/am particularly right or wrong, it is just that we differ in perspectives. Open-mindedness has us find the common ground at which our opinions intersect and begin to work forward from that place, instead of opposite sides of the room! It may also be, understanding that we are each entitled to our very own unique opinion, even if what lays in the blind spot of our understanding may run us over some day. Namaste (posted in WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE OPEN MINDED?) The divine in me also honors the divine in you! Thank you Have a very blessed new year. Don (posted in A poem I wrote about my son a few years back.) Sounds like you are on to something with this being thing. I wonder, does being come into existence as an act of co-creation, or does it arise independently? Part three of the book will be up soon. Thanks for the kind words. Don (posted in Question?)
