“There is no labeless utopia: if you do not name or label yourself, the world will do it for you”

Gary David Comstock

This website is about my journey. The ups, downs, frustrations, satisfactions, changes, zig-zags of a life that searches for meaning and understanding. Today, I may feel I have arrived. Tomorrow, I may feel who am I? Whether I like it or not, I have been labeled by birth, my choices, and the times and places where I have lived. I am like others because we all go on a journey. Yet, what we do on our journey is how well we are accepted and respected. Like others, I am not well known, but I make my voice heard. In all the years of my existence, I have determined important truths that guide me.

LIFE IS RELATION

Life is more relational than static or stationary. We have four basic relationships: God, others, ourselves, and our universe. Some of us are extroverts, and others are introverts. We are all different and unique in our appearance, looks, and desires. Some us live in the same place we were born all of our lives. Some do not like change. Others thrive on changes. We all grow and mature and get older. We exist in the present moment so we are who we are in this moment. Tomorrow, we may have less hair or gray hair. Although we learn from the past, we grow as we enjoy the relationships of the moment.

EXISTENCE IN THE MOMENT

We live in the moment as a whole person with physical, psychological, social, and spiritual parts. wseek significance, acceptance, affection, and the truth. We discover that truth is more relative than objective. We experience frustration, disappointment, inequity, deception, depression, and negative emotions. Nonetheless, we discover hope and faith. We learn what it means to treat others as we would like to be treated.

SOURCES OF TRUTH

We want to know the truth but often settle for conspiracy theories, opinions, or traditions perpetuating ideas, thoughts, and facts that did not happen. We must decide what we use to determine what is real and what is not. Scripture or sacred writings guide us in matters of the spirit, while science gives us knowledge about the physical and psychological self. Education teaches about the past and the present and prepares us for the future through reason. Experience shows reality.
