Self-Reflection

I've also studied a lot of martial arts in my life. I used to teach jiu-jitsu a long time ago, and I think maybe being exposed to that eastern philosophy was perhaps an early realization that there are different ways of thinking about the world. I realized that a lot of the things I was interested in, so the placebo effect, hypnosis, I did a feature article on mindfulness meditation and its use for treating depression and anxiety. I was like, wait, all of these have this theme of, they're all to do with the mind. Yeah, and then everything I've written since, whether I was looking at our relationship with the stars or the present moment, always seems to come back to that. What is reality? What is our relationship with each other and with our surroundings? I suppose that's given me the quest that I'm still on.
