Welcome to The New Pursuit

This blog is dedicated to sharing, reflecting and contemplating the essence of what it means to live deeply. It explores the intersections of Life, Nature, Being and Community as I try to answer my One Burning Question: How is the human existence and experience transformed to one of balance, harmony and sustainability for the long-term viability of the entire planet?

For me, when you live deeply, deliberately and with intent you:

• Strive towards a simple or minimalist lifestyle, shedding the unnecessary and embracing what remains
• Are one with Nature, not apart or above it
• Allow mindfulness to bring the present moment into focus
• Live by example and share this insight with others, especially children

It is a way of being more than a to-do list. These posts are a good starting point:
