Summer's Back

The temperature crept up near one hundred today.  It's 84 degrees in my room with the AC on almost continuously.  I did get out and walk, and though it was hot, it felt like I was finally doing what I should be doing.

As crazy as the idea of the N2N-TCP sounded in the beginning, the closer it gets to the time to step out the more I think it really is a calling that I have to accomplish. I'm not sure where it will lead on the arc of my life, but I know that I keep getting drawn closer and closer to the idea of striking out and finishing things up a little less than half a year later.

It's not the most responsible idea that's ever crossed my mind, but at the same time it's not the most irresponsible thing I've ever done either.

We'll see where this leads, but I can feel the call growing stronger as the time shortens.  Tomorrow will be another step on the path into the unknown, and I'm looking forward to what that step will reveal.

After a productive week in the south, I am home. The gifts that technology have bestowed on my generation are truly spectacular. I'm not at all convinced we're using this unique time in history to its greatest advantage. I'm struck by the wealth that is manifest all around me, and it makes me a little somber. With great opportunity comes great responsibility. It's hard to argue that we don't have great opportunity.

I am grateful for today and all that it's brought into my path, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow where I hope to live up to the challenges.
