Would you like to open your eyes?

Most of us live our lives with eyes mostly or partially closed. We are unaware of the fullness of reality about ourselves, the people around us, and the world we live in.

I’m certainly the same way. I have experiences and biases and predispositions that shape the way I think, the way I see the world. I’d like to move beyond those things. I’d like to live in such a way that I’m opening my eyes more and more—seeing reality for what it is and living more fully within it.

That’s what this blog is about. There are all sorts of things in this world that can produce moments of discovery, moments of insight, moments of clarity. It’s these moments that cause us to think more deeply and, if we’re open to it, live more fully. My hope is that you will join me on this journey of discovery and that, together, our eyes can be opened to the reality of this world we live in.

deeper thinking. fuller living.

(Yes, for all my grammar-loving friends, I know that “fuller” isn’t really a word. I just like the way it sounds. And you know what I mean.)

My Values

What are the things that drive me? What are the things that light a passion inside me? These are my values—the things that are at the foundation of my current view of the world. You’ll see some threads in the things I post … and most of those threads will be related to these values.

• reality is a friend … because discovery activates growth
• words are important … because communication shapes the future
• serving is the best … because teamwork leads to freedom
• justice is for all … because oppression kills the spirit
