Why read this blog?

This blog was created because the speed of student life suffocates thought. This blog aims to be a space where those experiences which impact my consciousness can be combed for coherent meaning and shared for discussion with any readers who also recognize that life is running off them like water off a duck's back. This blog is a place to stop and look at the scenery and ask, why is it so beautiful? Or, why does it make me want to run away? In the long run, I hope to begin building an understand of reality that cooperates with everything else we learn as students.

My method will be simple. I will do the following:
1) Present a brief experience which has a shot at being meaningful (which, in my mind, is every experience). The experiences may be anecdotal of a particular event (the likely majority), or they may be experiences via literature, music, etc.
2) Evaluate it, using the raw material of my human heart and what I have judged to be true thusfar, while being open to re-evaluation and trying to be as reasonable as possible.
3)Ask what I see as the relevant questions with an invitation for response from any reader.

I hope that this project turns out to be useful in the hands of that student desiring to take his or her life seriously, trying seriously to be happy. By seriously I mean that it matters where we are going, why we live, and what we do every moment of every day. I certainly do not mean without desire! Stay tuned for future installments.
