I ask myself, am I living an engaged life?
I am exercising several days a week. I go to school to use my mind. I have people in my life who care about me and I care about. I have a career I am working on that is meaningful and ever evolving. I love my life. I love being physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually healthy. I don't take it for granted as I spent my 20's feeling numb, depressed, shut down. My energy is way up because I got it flowing. I learned that I needed to express my anger, sexuality, joy, goodness, etc... With like minded folks. I put myself in places that I could and continue to do that. I have gifts that not everyone has. I am very empathetic and I care about the health of everyone. I can work in situations where I use those gifts. A small thing but it's huge actually, people don't know how to eat. A lot of people eat to survive but they are not eating for healthy and optimal functioning. I can help with that. As a society we are not even eating with sanity yet. I can teach people how to eat. We also don't move enough, I can teach people how to move.
Are you living an engaged life?
My engaged life includes: relationships that are a joy to be in. Where we are kind and funny and good to each other for a long time. This world is one where I have meaningful work that benefits humanity. This world is an engaged world, where I am and fully present with all that I encounter.

Wed, October 14, 2009 - 11:12 AMSun up, sun down.
Wearing the crown,
halfway around..
like the coolest frog in town
Live and let live..
Kill and be killed..
Chillin' vertebrates.
Doing it like animals like to do it.
Rough on the edges..
Hardcore to the bone..
Walking the line,
between solid and slime..
Shadow and light...?
Both ends of the spectrum..
I pass through the rectum..
So what does it matter..
Would you think of me lesser.?
If I hesitate in giving an answer..?
Your question transcends grammar..
It's actions performed in a manner,,
that makes man and man-eater..
So if you wanna feel good..
Don't worry about what you do..
Just think about how you do it..
Like animals like to do it..
Rough on the edges..
Loving the sexes..
Eternally restless..
Merely a suggestion..
Merely a gesture..
