What I've discovered on my own journey is that it is so important to bring 'down' the insights and wisdom into the every day life, to help on the more 'mundane', every day level, otherwise one ends up getting rather top heavy.

I think most people don't see the inherent dangers in being all up in their heads, but I know how it feels to me and from that I've learned to bring it into my heart, feet, and hands.

That sucks, so much, though. There are people like what you're looking for, I do believe, but finding them may come when you least expect it. (which I know is one of the corniest lines ever, but it is usually true)

yeah I'm nesting on it, I think I'll find what I seek.
