Why Beware of the Doug?

I’m what is known as a spiritual seeker, this site a running commentary on the journey. One important nugget I’ve learned along the way: the belief in a Doug separate and apart from the world outside it is itself the problem. So, yeah, this journey reminds me to beware of the Doug, the same one undertaking this trek. Some quantum weirdness there.

Perennial Way

I’ve collected a lot of useful resources along the way and share them here for those on the same path.

Originally focused on extracurricular activities for kids, it’s expanding into more meaningful focuses.
