Observations
ObservationsWoody Allen said that 90% of life is showing up. He didn't add that the other 10% was knowing where. For most of us, that's the hard part.
The best gurus would tell us that the "where" is wherever our hearts are freest to give what we most want to share. They're probably right. But to act on this intuition is to reveal to others who we most fundamentally want to be. Few of us want to reveal this to others. Even fewer to themselves.
That's why it's so hard.

Light generates heat.
Heat rises.
So does light.
When we turn on the lights, we illuminate the ceiling while heat drifts out the attic.
In the winter, at least, why not put our lamps on the floor?
Is it because the sun is "up there"?
