It occurs to me, as I sit here with my closest friends, that I have shared the company of many incredibly intelligent people this past week. In a group of friends called the "Socratic Circle" (self titled of course) we are discussing topics ranging from Sartre's existentialist views to the NFL lockout and player's rights. With such a wealth of information and such breadth of topics it is hard to imagine a more fertile place for a group of young minds.
Anyhow, I've waxed prose. Remember that project I told you about? I've finally decided my topic and what I am going to do. I am doing a small group psychology experiment based on whether or not Rousseau, Locke, or Hobbes is correct on their theory of formation of government. Exciting right? I'm taking volunteers to be expiremented on.
As for the rest of my week. I went to a tai chi session that was eye opening and led me to a seminar on yoga. Yoga has opened my eyes to the power of the breath, and I wish to expand my knowledge of yoga. Today I went to a Tae Kwan Do seminar and learned many things, like white belt forms (part 2). I really enjoyed Tae Kwan Do, but not as much as yoga. My Indian friend wants me to read the Bhagabad Gita. He thinks it will help meachievee self awareness. I guess.
Anyhow, I now go on with my studying journey and other adventures here at GHP. I wish you luck in your travels.
May the wind always at your back.
Sam
