So I am trying to figure out which direction to go next with this web site.  And not sure exactly where to go with it.  I like what has happened so far.  I like that there are some small groups forming, and I like the fact that the people who appear to be of like mind with this web site are congregating here.  Ever so slowly.

I'm thinking about the ideas of I-thou and gestalt and therapy in healing and I know that this is a place that I wish to birth more into the world.  I sometimes worry that I-thou as a word has too much of a spiritual overtone to it -- that it is not sufficiently "neutral" -- that it already has its own baggage of meaning.

However, I like the meaning behind I-thou -- I connect with the meaning.  I like the way Fritz Perls used the words.  Love.  Truth, honest connection.  Being with another person, fully.  I like the idea of attempting to connect with other people, authentically, person-to-person.  In many ways, the concept of I-thou is what I want my life to be governed by.

But I also want to make it very clear that I-thou is not just for kneeling in the churches or synagogues or ashrams in the world.  It is not holy, holy, holy.  It is something for daily life.  It is something for the real world.

For me, it is a reminder to step back into the magical aspect of life.  To listen for the heartbeat that lives, moment to moment, in everything.

Let me keep this, then, for a while.  It is part of how I want life to be.  It does not have to appeal to everyone.
