Living From the Inside Out

must throw a bone to the agony that shrieks within.

i'm thoroughly enjoying terry bradshaw on jay leno's show. i wish i could laugh at myself the way he can at himself. i met joe montana, once, at a bookstore. not met, really, i was the cashier and he handed me his books with a small smile. he was with his daughter.

i sense he's a really nice guy, and he moved so beautifully; like a cat. such efficiency of movement.

i'm really excited about the olympics. too bad i can't see the opening ceremony because i have An Die Musik instead. oh well. i do enjoy that class. it reminds me of my love of literature, which vanished for i don't know how many years.

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where...
