So true...I got back from the jungle 3 weeks ago and made a commitment to myself to change several things in my life...as did several others in the group I was with. That said it's a different story actually making those changes and keeping focused on applying those lessons in the western lifestyle.

Sometimes tough choices have to be made that can affect those we care about that do not understand what we have gone through and learned...all in a good way I suppose thought they might object to it from their frame of reference. The experiences we have gone through with the medicine makes us front up to various personal (and impersonal) issues instead of shying away and ignoring it. It's a shift in consciousness, accepting things for what they are and people for where they're at...not trying to convince anyone or enforcing our (new) believes onto them.
