Information System Overload

This photo, "Brain Explosion" was drawn by artist, Amanda Abella.

I like this picture because it really captures how I feel right now about life. When I think of information systems or about the brain I think about it very mechanically and almost robotic. When I hear the words "system overload," I think about technology and computers. One wouldn't generally think about flowers really. However, in this moment I do. I feel that a huge expansion is occurring in my brain/mind and it feels like an explosion, but I feel more like Amanda's picture. It is an expansion/transformation that is bigger than me, and greater in depth than I can understand right now, but I can feel it and it is not an explosion that is destructive but more so it is creative.

Now if you haven't been following my blog you might not have noticed I am going to school for Holistic Health Studies right now. This moving into graduate school is contributing greatly to this shift in mindset. For two years my brain has been dormant and suddenly it is being electrocuted with new ways of thinking, new reading materials, and creative research projects. While I am incredibly stoked and the happiest I have ever felt in my life right now, it does bring about some great personal challenges that I am going to have to face. One of those challenges is handling this shift in perspective and also handling the wonderful information I do receive and making sure it creates and gives off something more than just an explosion.

Also, I might add that if time allows, I have been considering creating another blog to specifically follow my journey in my Master's Program because I can already feel that it is going to be full of surprises and growth and I constantly want to talk about it. I'll keep you posted on its potential birthdate. I already started another blog called Go Green Machine. I created this one specifically because I am trying to be a little more organized in my thoughts and in my sharing with you all and I have great interest in conservation and the environment and sustainability as well.

I'd love to stay and write more about this "explosion/expansion" as my mind is teeming with information just waiting to be unpacked, but I have to get in the shower and begin addressing the piles of research projects and homework that have approaching deadlines.

Cheers to Friday and homework and BALANCE! May we all lead a balanced day and life!
