Some Big Secrets

As an investigative journalist I have tried to be a fly on the wall, bring the hidden exclusives that no one else has access to. It took me many years to understand that the biggest secrets are hiding in plain sight, and uncovering them is the most prefund, astonishing, and important investigation one can make.

I recently found out that songs are constantly playing in my head, not a stuck song syndrome once in a while, but an everyday ongoing phenomenon that is distracting my attention. I came to see this this because I started meditating on observing my thoughts. That's a huge secret that has been with me for probably 30 years, maybe more. I just never noticed it.

Big secrets are hiding inside but they're also hiding outside. As a child, walking to school, with some of the way paved and some a small vacant lot, it occurred to me that this pavement come on the expense of the animals, but I was very far from internalizing it as the genocide it is. The wild animal genocide is a huge secret. Once you uncover it, it's everywhere. In all probability, you are looking at it at this very moment (ya, where are you right now?).
