(Yes, I've abandoned my boat/water metaphor naming scheme. It was cute when I started, but it was time to change.)
I'm new to this whole blogesphere, but I'm starting to get into it. One leads to another and the insights are everywhere.
Recently I ran across this post by blogger Jeffrey Tang that threatens to end my existential crisis if I can embrace it. In the post, Tang asserts, "Looking for meaning is how we distract ourselves in the downtime between interesting experiences."
And I think he must be right. Maybe my existential crisis isn't so much a crisis of meaning as it is a pattern of perpetual boredom. Maybe I don't need to find the meaning of life or the perfect vocation for me so much as I need to do something more interesting...
Thinking that way gives a whole different energy to my intention as I am letting go of my current trapeze bar and hanging in midair waiting for the next one...
