When Confusion Reigned Supreme

hopefully, i will be able to blog from my laptop at the airport tomorrow. a non-stop flight, mercifully, which means little airport time to blog, but i really should avoid technology for a substantial period every now and then.

Writing is my leg up, my way out, my ground zero. my truth and honesty, my evidence and excavation.

"Hope is the thing with feathers..." --Emily Dickinson

can someone fill in the rest of the poem? i'm too tired to look it up right now. thanks.

i am fabulous, and that's all there is to it. why do i feel so down on myself every now and then? there are some things about myself that i really don't like. how do i live in harmony with them and with all the things i love about myself? very confusing. advice?

I can tell you have a sense of humor. You enjoy some of the same things I do, except you're a lot younger. I don't enjoy the dixie chicks (sorry)

Good luck with your blog.

Hello. My name is Dr. Hugh Moore. My friends told me I really needed to put my stuff out on the blog. It puts spots in front of my eyes.

I'm just a harmless 2000000 year old flea. (A red one, that dont' bite.

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out...

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...
