The first two blogs postings relate our perspective at http://www.e-hhw.com/—our beliefs and aspirations. This blog posting begins applying these concepts to areas of the human predicament that warrant our collective attention.

Balance the Canoe - Creativity
The first blog posting (Maiden Voyage, 13Jan2011) was a metaphorical excursion to the edge of the earth—an overview of my personal views of life. This posting uses a more basic metaphor for navigating life—the canoe, which requires balance.
The intent of this posting is to continue developing our understanding of creative expression. To save space and time, you can read the premise on my website and the previous blog posting for background to my perspective.
My career includes 12 years at a major health care institution—where I learned that creative expression is a viable clinical therapy. Research indicates that not only is creative expression therapy for existing maladies—but preventative as well.
Carl Jung (1875-1961)—a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker, and the founder of analytical psychology—even used creative expression diagnostically. He was able to make accurate medical diagnoses based on the drawings of his patients.
In the previous blog posting, we provided our take on the two essential components of us humans—the physical and the soul. The physical, or ego, is comprised of what we acquire from our lineage (DNA) and what we learn from our environment—and is constrained by time and space. Soul is the enlivening energy shared by the living—and transcends the empirical universe.
We humans are inclined to identify with the physical, or ego—after all, we were absolutely taught this at an early age. I am not you—it‘s empirically valid. The nature of the ego is based on separateness. The physical component is empirical and explained by science.
The soul, however, is the essence of life—and singularly boundless.

Maiden Voyage - Science & Beliefs
This is the first blog posting at http://www.e-hhw.com/. This maiden voyage is intended to provide groundwork for future postings. Hopefully someone out there will find this message in a bottle.
Let’s begin by leaving the safe harbor of common beliefs.
Humans have two essential components—the physical and the soul.
The physical component is comprised of what we receive from our lineage (DNA) and
