The first element of this was choosing the title. I kept going back to a single image - me on my twin bed at the Ashram rolling my eyes at the ads for ear candling and miracle juices in the magazine given out downstairs. Not too different from the me that enters Kate's Joint, a den of dreadlocks and scuffed Converse, in my pinstriped suit fresh from my corporate job. We all have dual natures, but in a forum that I hope to center around my thoughts on spirituality and philosophy I choose to center my thoughts around these dual natures.
I strive for a place of moderation and balance in a world that little understand or accepts nuance. I don't have to blindly accept everything labeled homeopathy to be a serious yoga practitioner. Nor must I distance myself from the peace I find chanting in order to embrace a worldview built on logic and reason. There is a middle ground. This is my journey to find it, and keep it.
