Welcome to Musings + Machinations

This is the inaugural post for what is now an archive of musings+machinations. go here for new posts.


Musings - “act of pondering, meditation, thought”;  

Machinations - "a plotting, an intrigue”


Apparently, it is good form to introduce people to your blog, set your purpose, etc. 

Normally, I am pretty good at that. A term I have heard people use to describe me is “freakishly intentional.” 

But this is a bit outside of my comfort zone. And then this came to me yesterday. This is how it opened:  

  • What are you seeking? 

  • Can you move past old mind constructs, no longer useful, as you find your way?

  • Are you beginning to comprehend the difference between knowledge and wisdom

  • Have you come to understand the freedom inherent in risking a new mind-scape?

  • Have you come to terms with the universal truth that this life is a grand adventure?

This rang so true to where I am at this moment. 

I am ready to challenge it all. I invite others to join me. This is not about disruption (although that is likely), but transformation. Our world and way of life is not sustainable.

I want a new way.

Welcome to Musings and Machinations.
