Too Much to Write
Aug. 22nd, 2005 06:23 amHow does an individual deal with his/her Dark Side? Denial, balancing, suppression, beating it out, cherishing?
What is my understanding of my own Dark Side?
There is a lot of journaling to be done about those questions.
My massage on Saturday with my old friend Fox ended with my telling him about my experience with the energy worker at the demo at my work a couple of months ago (the one who appalled so many of my friends here). He too was appalled, and I invited him to 'look' at my chest area energetically. According to him, my heart chakra is blocked. (Thus my question of yesterday about chakras and healing.) No surprise there, really. . . but according to him my entire system, except for my third chakra, has been reduced to trickles of energy. He pointed out that there are exercises one can do to help open the system, but that unless I deal with the issues which are behind the blockages it's not going to help in the ways that really matter.
I've finally started to get inside the head of that key player in my novel's last act who has been frustratingly cardboard, and someone else who made a brief appearance early on but then dropped out of sight, who turns out to be his complement. They are suddenly becoming real people, characters who write their own stories, not simply act as my puppets. This is very good. It liiiives!
The Daughter, my mom and my aunt and I went to see "The Complete History of the United States (abridged)" on Saturday, at the theatre we like to attend. It was terrible. The script was relentlessly vulgar. I don't mind a sexual innuendo or two, but this was far too much. There was some good stuff too, but the overall effect left a bad taste in my mouth. My mother, of course, had an even worse reaction. We decided to leave at intermission. Very disappointing.
My house is a mess. This is depressing. I want that closet finished! I need to work with my daughter on her messes. I need to get my own messes cleaned up.
I need more sleep.
I need to get to work.
