why is it, indeed!?
what is that part of us, seemingly somewhere deep
within, that seems to never change, never age??
is it the Soul?, the Ego?, the Self? or nothing more
than an illusion arising from brain physiology and
functioning?
this question is worth pondering, and the answer
we arrive at says a lot about who we are
WHERE do your actions originate?
do they tend to come from abstract concepts like
responsibility, justice, truth, loyalty, honor … ?
or do your actions tend to flow from feelings such as
love, anger, resentment, anxiety, fear … ?
HOW do your actions tend to originate?
do they quickly and impulsively burst forth, surprising
others and even yourself?
or do your actions tend to slowly emerge, following
a period of reflection, a time when you consider
your situation and the consequences of the various
actions you may decide upon?
WHAT surrounds your actions?
do they typically come with doubt and hesitation?
or with confidence, decisiveness and dispatch?
questions about the typical origin of our actions are
worth PonderingAbout
the answers to these questions go a long way
toward defining who we are and determining the
kind of life we make for ourselves

To be, or not to be? - that is a question; but a
still better question is -
Are you anybody’s favorite person?
better because it affects the heart as well as the
head, and likely more so
it is a question that we can not only PonderAbout,
but also FeelAbout
and for some, it can be a life changing question
Are You The Favorite Person Of Anybody? is the title
and subject of the short film below
it is directed by Miguel Arteta and written by
Miranda July
you can find out more about them and their film

(Bergman’s Wild Strawberries, 1957)
a dream is a creation; our dreams are our creations -
they are pieced together by us; with the pieces
being our experiences, feelings and preoccupations
our dreams are therefore a reflection of us
Carl Jung likened the dream to the theater -
with the dreamer being the play-write, director,
actor, and even the prompter, who feeds the actor
his lines
if we PonderAbout our dreams, we may discover
what they are saying about us and perhaps, to us
