Reluctance to embrace technology always seems a shame to me in the people who could benefit the most from it, so I would give the gift of accessable technology, especially internet technology, to our elders. Enabling them to share their wisdom and gain even more would be beneficial to all of us, I believe. It would enrich our culture and the lives of people across generations to have our elders active in the most vital of our global cultural arenas.

So many of the great lessons come from heartbreak, especially ones about love. How else could we learn to love well unless we did it in the most difficult of situations? I imagine my understanding of the endurance of love and omni-directional potential in love would be limited if I had not striven to love through heartbreaks. Would I know that unconditional love is separate from the conditional nature of relationships if I hadn't had romantic relationships with amazing women end with love remaining? I would not value the act of loving as much as I do without experiencing heartbreak.

Access to near-limitless high quality information and ideas makes this era unprecedentedly exciting. In every discipline we have knowledge at our fingertips that previous era's inhabitants could not have even imagined. What we choose to do with this knowledge is unknowable, but the potential this brings humanity is startling when considered. Longer lives, better lives and more valuable lives are promised if we get our act together and already those improvements have seeped into many of our lives.

Today I'm feeling a lot of love for the richness of the internet and the people inhabiting it. I've been reflecting on just how much we have available and how much insight and joy can stem from what is offered as gems in the muck.

I was raised as a Christian, within the Presbyterian branch, and upbringing was fairly typical in many ways, but it was always stressed that it was my choice to attend or not. My understanding of religion shifted as I grew from literal belief to agnosticism and at each stage I found teachings that fostered my growth.
The minister I had for most of my time as a Christian offered an outlook that helped to preserve a healthy relationship with Christianity. He was open about doubts he had and his humanistic stance was vital in shaping my views once I had left the church.

A can of energy drink would perk me up some, but I'm most longing to create something I can take pride in. I feel I've been creatively blank for a long while and I'd love to be able to make something that could generate some lift.

I'm definitely a night person. I have more energy and feel more creative once it's dark. This lead me to work at night before returning to university and makes early morning classes a bit unpleasant.

Firefox opens to my own website, which I use to remind me to create content. I follow that up with a visit to GMail, Facebook and LIveJournal before heading on to Google Reader for the rest of my daily reading.
