Our Inner Worlds

With the coming of spring, with my part of the planet starting to wake back up, I've been trying to reawaken certain aspects of my life as well. Call them resolutions, if you'd like. One of the things I've been trying to place more emphasis on is balance, a difficult thing given the various commitments I've made in my life. Meditation and personal journaling is playing a big role in my search for balance.

If this is something you're working on in your life as well, or something you'd like to focus on more than you are at present, I thought I'd share an intriguing website that I recently came across. It's called My Inner World, and it's a beautiful site that utilizes Flash for a unique experience. The goal of the site is to provide "an interactive journey of self-discovery." It does this through an illustrated interface, writing prompts for journaling (a private journal is kept on the site), and some really different approaches. You can plant the seeds of ideas in a garden, for instance, or make a wish (private or public) in the wishing well.

I've only just started exploring the site, but it looks like it might be a very helpful tool and I'm looking forward to using it.
