I'm thinking in particular of the Winnie the Pooh as illuminated by Benjamin Hoff in The Tao of Pooh, that open-hearted, wide-eyed fella who can't but help land squarely on his feet.  At this moment I'm sitting on my own personal battle line between desire and action... and I am envious.

Like any acting role, all of my blog posts have some part of me in them, but this one in particular goes to the core. 

I have decided to be this personal because I don't believe that I am alone; I have met comrades in these trenches in many forms: friends, colleagues, and students.  I am speaking here of my personal struggle with finding a place of peace and flow that lies somewhere between the intersection of desire and action.
