I really need to talk to you, but cannot as you know...How often are you able to get on here. BTW thank you SOooo much for letting me know about the internet access... -S
I really enjoyed reading this post. You write beautiful, thought provoking pieces. I've found since going to University I now think about many things on a deeper level than I ever did before. I Don't think It's necessarily a bad thing.
I've done a number of classes in Australian Indigenous studies and am driving taxis while I'm studying. A number of other drivers I speak to throughout the day have negative opinions surrounding the behavior of some of these people (our passengers) but if they're acting up for me, I tend to consider the history of Australian colonization by the English and all of the policies that have governed the lives of these people since that time... And still do... And with this knowledge (which hasn't been taught in our schools until very recently) I view them very differently and with much more tolerance than many of my colleagues do. I think having an extended knowledge base enriches my experiences too. Our knowledge increases our understanding and that has to have many benifits. Perhaps you could sleep more (or meditate) to Defrag :)
Thank you for sharing (and for the mental image of the Wizard wearing blue [connies] converse under his robes! Haha)
