David Baum's New Blogsite
David Baum, whose work I have posted on this site previously, has created a new blog:
http://davidbaum.blogspot.com
He heads the site with a catchy quote from Dr. Seuss: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
David is clearly one who lives up to this admonition. In his younger years, he yearned for excitement, and, among other things, swallowed fire, jumped from moving planes, walked on fire, drove race cars, and jumped off cliffs. As he grew older, he realized that he was seeking the thrill of excitement, the adrenaline rush. The came to see that there was a vast difference between "intensity" and "depth." The former comes from speed itself, the latter from a less frantic approach to reality. He has often found this depth of discovery in the world of nature and feels this is the place where authentic experience is truly possible.
David has a lot say about meaningful topics. At times he quotes Rumi. At times he describes his recent trip to Bosnia, where he went in the service of a non-profit agency which helps the women of various countries. I happen to know that not too long ago he was invited to speak at Cambridge University on one of his favorite topics, "Creative Tension."
He is a successful business consultant, a witty companion, and a gifted writer. He is filled with a loving spirit, and now dedicates his talents to making this a better place for us all.
I strongly recommend that you look up his site.
Congratulations, David. The world needs your wisdom and warmth!
