Getting back...

Working the past 2-plus months on a major house remodeling job. It's been exhausting most days, but now all the heavy work is completed and the last few finishing details are under way. During this time I've been mulling over my educational roots in expository writing and journalism, my life experiences, and what I know to be my purpose for being here on earth. This might be quite a story. Perhaps I will begin to unfold it here on this blog. A correspondent with more experience with blog writing and online newsletters, focused on the urgent needs of the world and the difficulty of moving our almost exclusively materialist culture, society and economy in the direction of sustainability, has suggested I begin with an account of an auto accident in my 20s, during which I had a near death, out of body experience (NDE/OBE)...the aftermath of which resulted in a complete redirection of my life into human service activities, away from what I had planned as a career as a sculptor and college teacher. I'm working on it.
