Wally: it's so funny you would say this. Seriously, I have so much to say about how that simple notion is deeply meaningful in the realm of sync. Seriously we should talk about that, could make for an interesting AR if you'd be up for that. But I'm totally on the same page right now. I really think simple choices like committing to the necessary efforts to realize your ambitions, especially if those ambitions involve sync and interconnectedness and what not, literally amplifies the tendency for positive syncs to just start flowing -- the challenge is to not let them cause you to revert to other appetites/desires that bring back into a funk. I myself am only just barely digging myself out of it... still in progress.
