Let's see....when you look out of the window at the world, what do you expect to see?  Life recreating itself through nature?  A busy world moving by without your input?  Change coming about unbeknownst to you?  Well, all of the above....I find that no matter the expectations we have of the world about us, it all boils down to what we have to offer of ourselves to whatever processes we expect to occur around us.  This way of thinking is quite satisfying to me...I have long felt that I would someday come to the conclusion that "thinking out of the box" would mean stepping away from an idoctrinated philosphy to one of a convoluted cross section of doctrines...specifically stepping back from the christian model to older models such as Kabalah.  I love the beauty of Psalms, but adore the simple spirituality of Kabalah which teaches meditation and only addresses the building of Self through knowledge.  It is a peaceful journey...to be continued!
