Am I the intersection of points at which my thoughts and feelings interact with my culture, history, relationships, health, the weather today? This is a unique map, which has never been created before. The map is experienced within the body — the first and most obvious differentiating marker between “I” and “everyone else”.

We are organisms co-existing with our environment, making no sense without it, needing to be aware of what we are actually doing, rather than what we think we are doing — let alone what we think about what we are thinking we are doing.

For me, Spring can never come soon enough.

Actions, consequences and priorities: going through hard times, overcoming them, and re-balancing our lives can be among the most profitable experiences we’ll ever have.

We are creatures who cannot tolerate the repetitive and mundane for very long. And I really need to be finished with a project I’ve been working on every day for several months.

Once upon a time, I was less than understanding and happy about being an INFP because this is largely an extravert’s world.

It’s infectious and permeates my whole being: the innocence, wonder, and creativity I experience from being with my grandchildren.
