allow yourself to think only those thoughts that match your principles and can bear the bright light of day. day by day, your choices, your thoughts, your actions fashion the person you become. your integrity determines your destiny. Heraclitus.

this is a biological truth, as well as a conceptual truth. when you explore boldly, when you voluntarily confront the unknown, you gather information and build your renewed self out of that information. that is the conceptual element. however, researchers have recently discovered that new genes in the central nervous system turn themselves on when an organism is placed (or places itself) in a new situation. these genes code for new proteins. these proteins are the building blocks for new structures in the brain. this means that a lot of you is still nascent, in the most physical of senses, and will not be called forth by stasis. you have to say something, go somewhere and do things to get turned on.

At twenty-three, your spirit shines so bright,
With iron will and strength that few possess.
You lift the world and find your own delight
In every heavy plate and chalked success.
But softer dreams are rooted in your soul,
Of sun-drenched fields and gardens you will tend.
To build a home remains your heart’s true goal,
Where life begins and love shall never end.
A healer’s path now beckons for your hand,
To mend the broken, offer hope and light.
A doctor wise, the finest in the land,
To guide the weary through the darkest night.
My darling wife, your journey’s just begun,
The world is yours, beneath the golden sun.
