Wow! I'm getting really bad with this blog thing. I finally quit my job at the kennel and got a summer position at the NY Wolf Conservation Center, my dream job. Right now it is just for the summer but will likely be a full time job. Yay. My first day teaching just happened to be a press day for the new pups Zephyr and Alawa, and I got put in one of the local papers.

"Human beings themselves are at risk - not just on some survival-of-civilization level, but more basically on the level of heart and soul. We are ignorant of our own nature and confused about what it is to be a human being." -Gary Snyder
Welcome
The Buddha said that his teaching are not to be followed like laws, but to be used as guidelines in finding your own spiritual path. Rabbi Brad Hirschfield explained that if there are aspects of religion that you don't like, return to where you were raised and make the changes from there. If you like the ritual, keep it. If you don't, drop it. True religion is different for everyone. This blog is a reflection of the journey I take to finding my personal spirituality. The basis for my spirituality stems from a cross between Buddhism and Judaism, but also includes bits and pieces from other religious faiths.
As I develop my individual spirituality, I am moving from the life of college student into the workforce. Included will my journey to find a job I truly love (this seems to be rare nowadays), that agrees with my personal ethics of peace and non-violence.
