I seem to have fallen behind a bit on the food blogging. My apologies. I’ve been keeping up the practice however, though I did overindulge some, and the results have been about as expected (eczema + asthma flare up - the latter in a matter of hours, the former in a matter of days).
Anyway, I plan to catch up soon, so I apologize in advance for the flood of food posts - I’ll try to...

Feeling fulfilled when we live up to our potentialities is what motivates differentiation and leads to evolution. The experience of happiness in action is enjoyment - the exhilarating sensation of being fully alive. Seeking out pleasure is...

Complexity and the Life Cycle
One can view human development as a series of pendulum swings between agency and communion; between seeking uniqueness and needing to belong to something greater and more powerful.
