The Insider

An exploration of Montana's inner landscape

This blog is an exploration of Montana's inner landscape – that often-unexplored wilderness of the heart, the mind, the soul. Although I'll address local events and issues, they'll simply be a starting point, a platform from which to ask the larger questions they raise. My raison d'etre is simple: I'm a local author and a public speaker who seeks answers about life, the universe, and everything (for you Hitchhiker's Guide readers). I firmly believe that the questions that matter the most to human beings aren't answered by looking "out there," but instead, looking "in here." I'll explore the esoteric, the obscure, the abstruse, the cryptic, and even the arcane (thank you, Roget's Thesaurus), but always with a down-to-earth, practical approach to things that -- I hope -- can lead to peace and well-being. The postings are intended to be more contemplative than prescriptive, not providing neat answers, but always inviting the reader to get down in the cognitive dirt and
wrestle with the things that get in the way of our happiness."
