It began with a creeping realization that there was more to what we see and hear around us. There is more in terms of consequences of our actions and habits than we're comfortable knowing about.
The blitz of information thrown at us from all directions is termed 'progress'. An information superhighway. That's fantastic. Highways are designed to keep us moving. Not a place to stop and contemplate. In fact you can't even slow down. And you may not spot what is missing from the mix fed to us.
It is analogous to looking through a distorted lens. Little things get blown out of proportion. Major things can shrink or get twisted out of shape. A kaleidoscope of colors sprouts up before our eyes and mutates as we try on differing versions of the same line of distorted lenses. This is fascinating for most. Few realize that truth is constant and extremely deep. To begin seeing it the second thing you need is a better set of lenses; the first is a realization that you need them.
I envied people who knew a lot. Still do. But now I really envy people who know what's important. Those who can put two and two together. This is a feeble attempt to share my journey to learn what's important - and try to apply it.
