Much love to you all

Happy Anniversary PaB! <3
So many things happen when you write in a language which is not your mother tongue nor the one you use on a daily basis. On Easter Day, I contemplate my recent discovery that the word "groundbreaking " is written in one word. Using the new excellent application "Linguee", I translate it: its meaning is not exactly what I thought it was.
I rarely translate words: as I read a lot in English, I learn new words all the time and start using them with a kind of certainty which might be sometimes taking me elsewhere than I thought.
I always saw the concrete aspect of "breaking new ground": using a shovel to dig out earth, thus creating a new road. My grandfather used to do that in his pioneer days up Northen Quebec. His own father was gone doing the same in Florida, growing oranges on the small land he was settling on.
The funny thing is I remember the first time I heard the words "breaking new ground": I was living in an ashram near New York, writing an article on an unfamiliar computer. The director of the magazine used the word to qualify my article as he rejected it. I then knew I was on the right path. Maybe not always a path of success, but one of exploration of new territories.
There has always been an itch. Let's call it that for lack of a better word/phrase.
Actually lots of itches. All over. Covered in itchy spots. Each screaming to be scratched.
The itches to 'know'.
To know how the brain works. Both on Neuroscience and Psychology levels. However, to really study both (and related fields) these would take years and years of university. That study would take time away from scratching the other itches.
To know societal comparative studies. The Eastern and Western minds and their view points. The role of all the religions, parenting, education, society, languages, etc. of the world.
To know the general of All and then dig deep into any one.
Visiting all martial arts while earning black belts in one.
Too many itches to go to university on any one.
Many virtual worlds to explore. Tried one named 'Ways of Knowing'. Now that one was really good. Truth be told though, was scared of that group. Many PHDs sitting around in a circle. Each week the next one would present their expertise and humanity advancing research. Afraid that when it would become time, they would all find out about the ignorant peasant lurking in the circle.
A separate group went off. Not really as a sub-topic group, but as an explore larger group. Even larger then studying the ways we Know stuff, this group would explore, experiment, enjoy 'Play' AND 'Being'.
Later, the vast importance and exploring of "AS" hit.
So vastly many topics, subjects, studies, experiments, life changers, relaxations, reflections, joy, laughs, dreams, educations and friends.
This minor player has been enriched by your words and time.
Thank you ALL. All you dear friends.
(come visit when ya can)
Groundbreaking in my life indeed.
Foggy headed now, in and out of dreams after a full flowery day following a full night of travel (what is which), but so thankful. I haven't kept to '3 breaths' over the last few days, but have found time to intentionally drop anxieties and identities for periods, remembering to greet the moments anew. edited 20:24, 1 Apr 2018
What to say, how to look back
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past ten years, as I've watched my mind
WHO is more Patient now?
Should I write a blog?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I would last this long
What's it all about?
Happy Anniversary to old and new friends!
Apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber
I have been doing my intentional reading practice consistently, though I have not written about it here every single day. There's not too much to say about it, really. It's a simple and easy enough task I have set myself, to sit down and read for at least 15 minutes a day, but if I do not have the clear intention to do it, it does not happen. Hard to believe it's been 18 days already.
Riddle, this is how I feel as well. Thank you for expressing it so well.
This morning I shared my food meditation with Bertram, which definitely added an extra layer of meaning. Maybe I can share it with some more of you when I see you in the next days.
