The end...
...and a new beginning.
It's been a long time coming, but it's time to shut shop on this blog(as if it was much alive anyway).
This blog was started as an experiment in blogging, but it was dead for so long that it no longer reflects who I am. I could take this down completely but I'd rather just leave this online as an honest reminder of where I had started off from.
I'd started this blog with the grandiose tagline of "in search of greatness, excellence and Truth". My first post had been on Greatness. These were topics that all greatly interested me...and still do. Except I feel like I've finally figured at least greatness out.
What is it?
Well my simple understanding defines greatness as the living breathing phenomenon of living an authentic life, true to the yourself. For only living like this is true presence and attention possible in life. For someone living like this, every moment of life becomes something precious. Every moment like this adds to the previous moment, and over time it leads up to something that looks phenomenon.
As a young boy, what's phenomenon was a very narrow definition to me. Only something that was big in an obvious way.
Today I see greatness in the little things that people do. In the little things that people do that lets their humanity seep through.
It is one such journey of honesty, authenticity and courage that I've taken the first steps on. And I intend to blog about that journey on a separate blog that fits the current mood better.
