Welcome to all things sublime and ridiculous

I recently had an astrological reading done. Now, before you roll your eyes, bear with me.  The actual process was very scientific in its own way, and revealed that I should explore writing. Really? What on earth would I write about? It also revealed that I am a genuine mystic.  What exactly is a mystic?  All I can call to mind are images of Gandalf and Dumbledor-nope, they were wizards... Anyway, I am not sure what to think of either of those things.  Writing sounded a little more practical than the mystic gig, so thought I'd give it a go.  I was going to call this blog something yoga-esque, like "exploring the self through experiencing the world" or "doing the Dharma dance" but then thought, you know, my life has actually been a series of ridiculous accidents and circumstances, contrasted by some profoundly sublime moments of insight and revelation.  In the midst of it all, I have cultivated and been supported by my quirky sense of humor that most people don't get.  A very wise person taught me that it is most important to amuse yourself first.  So thats what I am going to do, and if you find some amusement here, then we are obviously kindred spirits.  I hope you enjoy my musings, the profound as well as the silly.  To all who venture here, welcome.
