The Catbird Seat

Seeing the Big Picture


I walked into an arena.  I walked around the perimeter (concourse) in a clockwise direction.  Once I completed walking around the circle, I went to the center of the arena.  The center was raised up on a mound.  An usher escorted me to a seat at the center. He said, “You’re in the catbird seat!” I had the best view of the stage from the raised center.

Many years ago, I had the following dream.

Clean and Simple.

At the time of the dream, I had heard the term “The catbird seat” but I had no idea what it meant.  The dictionary says it is “A position of great prominence or advantage”.  Additionally, the catbird itself is a songbird and is known to sit at the top of trees, presumably where it has an overall view of things.

I have a passionate interest in understanding the major influences that have shaped my life and the lives of those around me.  My interests are usually in an overview of a subject and how different subjects interrelate.  I rarely have an interest in exploring a specific subject in great depth.

Over my adult life, I have explored vast amount of information in books, movies, groups, and on the internet.  My interests include, but are not limited to, psychology, religion, spirituality, dreams, economics, myth, business, engineering, and politics.  This website will eventually include all these subjects and more.  I feel like I have and overview of how many important subjects work and how they are interconnected.

As described in the dream, I have entered the arena where the drama occurs.  I have explored many walks of life at the interface between the inner and outer worlds.  (Although not complete), I have been ushered to the center where I have a prominent view of the action on the stage. Like the catbird, I also have a song to sing. That is what this website is about.
