So my Yahoo horoscope for today (July, 17th) reads:

"Learning to deal with paradox is good for the soul. It makes you flexible.

You're going through quite a lot right now, but it's largely positive -- so enjoy the ride! It's one of those days when you're busier than usual, but you don't end up feeling too worn out at the end of the day."

That's pretty right on I have to admit. I literally used the word "paradoxical" in conversation today about what's been going on in my life at present. And A LOT is going on, largely positive. I really can't complain. I was super busy today - had an 11-hour work day - but in the end still felt fine.

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since my last post. Will I ever get with the times? Shall I ever be a part of the technological zeitgeist of this age? Or better yet, will I ever feel a part of the Ethos of today? Do I really want to be a part of it? I am in some, many ways a product of society, its thinking, its conclusions. But I struggle with the notion and at times see the world and its possessions as a straight-jacket about me. Paradoxically, I find myself striving to overcome my circles of influence by a desire to powerfully "succeed" and become an influencer.
