The way to love someone
is to lightly run your finger over that person's soul
until you find a crack,
and then gently pour your love into that crack.

You know ... I think I'm seeing some whiny here at True North. The real truth is ... I am incredibly blessed with an awesome life ... or maybe I should say the opportunity to live an awesome life. While resources aren't unlimitied, I have, in fact, the luxury of some free time and all sorts of personal resourcefulness that can be deployed ... . I'm going to start thinking through this list (elsewhere).

If you haven't got a clue what to do, and haven't got a "bucket list", here are 50 things you can mull around and meditate upon.
