*rising to a challenge* Since leaving you-know-which-corporation, I now enjoy a much freer mind. I get to figure out, consciously (I hope) what is Right & True for me. I get to define 'morality.' I can more fully embrace that which is valued by me. I feel freer to love & connect in juicy, vibrant ways without shame, guilt, or looking over my shoulder. I'ma gettin' mah intellect ONNN! I effin' *love* the feel of a breeze or a whisper of hair brushing my *bare* shoulder. I can be vulnerable, real & transparent with other human beings who are willing.
Two cat's eyes peering from the midnight darkness, telling me I have company in an otherwise empty room.

Being able to continually ask myself the Great Unanswerable Questions, like:
Does any part of my conscience or being continue after physical death?
What is the purpose, if any at all, of this highly complex planet on which we live?
People run to religions and answers because they are afraid of these questions, or any other questions where we don't have an answer. I'm not looking for answers to these questions. I just enjoy the ongoing internal debate.
