Avoiding My Sword

qosNo, I haven't been around very much the last few days. . . or more. It's not that I don't love you all, but I've been riding out a pendulum swing that's carried me way over into a part of my psyche that had gotten a bit rusty, and which I've been expressing (at length) in a blog I keep hermetically sealed away from this one.
Blame it on my P-con class. I've been doing. . . fieldwork. . . and doing a lot of excavation of past experiences and revelations. . . And allowing the rational parts of myself to let go for awhile and stop trying to prepare to teach this class the same way I prepared for the defenses of my theses.
If I can't stand in Wands/Fire and Cups/Water at least as strongly a I do Mind/Air, if I can't teach from body-wisdom as well as intellect, this is not going to work. That's felt backward, even as I've believed it to be true, and I've been going through some mental contortions trying to adjust my processes.
Besides, there hasn't been much to report on in my daily life. Work is the same, Wolfling is fine, I'm going to move in a couple of weeks, I'm enjoying Season Two of Bones via Netflix.
Please leave a comment here if there's a post you really want me to read. I haven't even been reading my Friends page on my gadget during the day because my attention has been diverted to a different site.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go slip back into the Water. . .

Deciding what to put in a journal can be hard. Filters are good with established friends (sometimes) but it limits the degree to which you can share those parts of yourself with new friends. (Which is why I have a separate sexblog.) At the same time, your journal is your space, and I encourage you to consider allowing it to evolve as you do. You can always choose to filter your serious posts to a smaller group of friends if that feels more comfortable.
