i love how you consciously expose your mind to all this novelty, feeding it inputs that you know are having a lifetime effect on you and your perceptions of the world.

like nomad does so well too, you let us in on your personal dramas, but discretely, avoiding the 'all about me' syndrome, but reminding us constantly that it's a real living human being behind the words, as opposed to a wearying trudge through another succession of external impressions.

again like nomad, i think you could write a whole book of your exploits, and i hope you do! you guys set a high bar indeed.

lovely comment, metavision.
