Who am I when I’m alone?

Intuition
Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
Who am I when I’m alone?

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:
What’s makes something flammable?

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
I went on a hike to a waterfall, and the hike was super up and down, like tons of rocks and trees in the trail, crossing a river a bunch of times. I love rock hopping, I feel like I get into a flow state and feel super calm afterwards.
January 29, 2026
A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
I was on vacation with my family for quite a long time, and I found myself pretty antsy to be alone again. Of course now I miss them, but I’m very glad I’m out on my way now.

Courage
Aligning action
Assumptions I'm examining right now are:
Money
January 29, 2026
I originally assumed:
As someone with more money than the majority of the people in the place I am visiting, there was a balance between supporting the tourism economy and using money to solve the problems that come from being a foreigner.
January 29, 2026
These assumptions are changing:
It is always more important to try to deal with problems the way locals would. Sometimes you will have more problems because you are not local, and it’s still more important to try to deal with it without throwing money at it.
January 29, 2026
A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Walked 32 miles (52km) in a day.

Compassion
Engaged Empathy
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
Honest communication.

I know this plan has been changing a lot, and I’m sorry I haven’t been the most responsive or consistent planning partner. You’ve been super easy to plan with and I feel like you catch a lot of the holes in my plan and help me be more prepared. XOXO

Hey man, thank you so much for responding and putting time into our friendship. I know it's hard, but I feel like we think kind of the same, and just like I feel like I need someone to keep reaching out and bugging me, when I bug you, you always respond, so thank you.

Magical Moments
Walk home
Chapada Diamantina

This video isn’t a magical moment exactly, but it represents a greater one. I went on a hike with very very poor planning, little food, and no way home. When we finished the hike, there was no one that would give us a ride because it was almost dark. This day, I ended up hiking a total of 32 miles. Around 12 of those where the walk home. I got home around 1 in the morning, 5 blisters, I was barely walking. I don’t really know how to describe how magical this was. It was awful. Several times I tried to cry but couldn’t. I don’t have experiences often that rock me to my core, but there were so many level of myself that completely fell away and I caught a glimpse of who I really am.
Teatro Colón

I have never been fully wowed by a building before. I always immerse myself in the nitty gritty details of the history and architecture and see the beauty in its life and creation. In this theater, I was taken all the way back. I found myself just sitting, looking at the stained glass ceiling, velvet seats, marble floors, and big spherical performance hall and just wishing I was involved in any kind of performance art. I saw myself in a ballgown, a night on the town. I yearned for the days when I thought I would peruse a career in acting. The magic of this building is in the acoustics. Hearing someone play the piano in that space took me out of my body. I literally sat gaping.
