Blissful emancipation. I travel, I think; in coffee shops and on hikes, in new towns and foreign lands I have insights and revelations. I write essays and songs and I make art. I post at my website and have discussions with a small but global friend base of open-minded people who further stimulate insight and thought. Our meet ups are like beatnik revivals – a group of 10-20 friends discussing life theory, science, music, art and philosophy and feeling connected – Amazing people with whom we meet, discuss and discover. All around the world in most towns we have enough friends for a meet-up. Someone knows a cool venue, someone else brings a guitar or cajon. Someone brings a spoken word piece or poem, another the latest research. We have real discussions in the most open way, never judgmental. We are experimenters, and readers and explorers, enthusiastically testing the fences of this life to make the most of it.<\/p>\n
A vision of the author’s ideal next chapter: traveling, writing essays, songs and art, and gathering with a small global community of open-minded friends for beatnik-style meet-ups to discuss life, science, music, and philosophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":457,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[150,149,46,151,148,152],"class_list":["post-456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diary","tag-friends","tag-life","tag-life-theory","tag-network","tag-vision","tag-worldwide"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For readers drawn to a life of curiosity, creativity, and genuine community, and who might want to join the author's global circle of open-minded friends.","citation_snippet":"Dr. Kathryn Messegee (Kathryn Colleen), \"A Vision For My Next Phase Of Life,\" https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/a-vision-for-my-next-phase-of-life\/","topics":["growth","essays"],"related_book":"","buy_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7650,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456\/revisions\/7650"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
