A new month is an entire world to explore, a vista of possibilities. It spreads out before you invitingly, asking you in, tempting you to take a stroll, to look around the corner.
Today is the first day of the month, and somehow that provokes my sense of adventure. What will happen that I could not have predicted? What changes will there be in my life and in the lives of those I love?
These are exciting questions because they touch on some very real existential issues. A month can be viewed as a contained experiment in the power of free will.
In the course of a month, you can set out to create a change in your life, and then see actual results of that change. And unlike a year, a month is a short enough span of time to assess and — if needed — to rechart your course.
I am looking forward to exploring the existential possibilities, to playing in my shiny new 30 day research laboratory.
