Yet if I pause and see there is deep hidden underlying fear - this is "Liquid Fear"! Its just there lingering waiting to come out. But I also intuitively feel the presence of "Liquid Love" too lingering all over. Let Love win! My desire in the moment as I write.
Some Morning musings:
I resonate with Cal Newport productivity philosophy. It boils down to : 1. Do fewer things. 2. Work at a natural pace. 3. Obsess over quality.

Some Inner Environment:
I love part of my story but despise some part of it. But than I think what if both are needed to make me arrive where I am now? And if I generally like where I am now…does it mean story about me which I don't like was necessary as much as what I like?…Acceptance of good, bad, ugly necessary.
