beginning on a path

Ahh, so it begins... a blog... a modern day journal for public consumption. I want this to follow me, or guide me on my path to living more consciously. Learning to use "that voice in my head" as a helper - a voice to bounce ideas off of - a voice to help me learn to live by making choices, not just reacting. My hope is that we are all on this path. That we all want to learn to live more consciously, to examine our choices, to think before we act. And also that we learn about human nature at its source, that we learn to love people because of who they are, not who we imagine they are. Just as we are not our stories, nor are they the stories that we make up about them. We accept ourselves where we are and we do the same for others.
What is the nature of distress? Being unhappy with what is? or not even being conscious enough to discover what really is? If we recognize what really "is" in every moment, will we find ourselves more at peace. Will I find myself more at peace? Can I help others find their peace, too?
