Questioning Student

What do I want? A simple life. A compassionate and accepting life. The ability to be serene and joyful. Why I am in school: Because I want to learn, and if I want to get anything done in our society I will need some sort of credentials. More on that later. When I grow up: I want to be a good person. I want to be connected with nature and my spirituality. These things tend to put me in conflict with society at large. I am hoping a blog will help me track my own progress towards serenity and also help me find other people out there who feel the same way. I want to learn to see through uncritical eyes. I want to accept myself and everyone else exactly as they are. I want to stop trying to change people. I want to bring my personal habits in line with my goals of harmony and simplicity. I want to be still and silent, mindful, and not stress.
