Glen, I really enjoyed reading this and found so many points of resonance with my own story.
My recent trip to Thailand and practicing meditation with Buddhist monks, getting one-on-one time with them to go deep until the lesson I needed to hear presented it self, getting vulnerable with my partner and with myself.. all of that along with my profound experience at a digital-detox adult retreat 3 years ago has put me on a path that is at odds with the corporate work that I do at a bank. The interesting thing is, the quality of my work as a product designer has dramatically improved, while my curiosity to explore music, lighting and deep human engagements have given birth to a new personality I call After 5, because it's after 5 pm where I deeply explore those experimentations as i consciously observe a new alignment with my values.
This has re-surfaced something important for me that I now realize could be a possible career stream. Thanks for writing about your experience and the thought process, truly.
