You're right, here I am... causing trouble mostly for me.

And thank you... if I can return the compliment, I admire your fearlessness at looking at yourself and reality. You have asked some of the best questions regarding spirituality on this forum (and that's a lot better than having the best answers, IMO). You take nothing for granted. I couldn't categorize you if I wanted to...

Each year for me has a theme. One year, it was just getting the basics of living down after homelessness and addiction. The next year, it was my relationships, especially with women. This year, it is demonstrating what I know as truth. Demonstrating because the words never do truth any justice, nor can they possibly "stand in" for the reality. I don't know where these themes come from... they just seem obvious somewhere around January 1st.

So I've been aware of how much I escape into a computer and away from my meditation cushion. And how important it is for me to walk my talk...

Namaste, Paula...
