Personal power. Person-power. That's it. We heard that term in a movie once - "Summer of my German Soldier", is the title that comes to us now.
Anyway. Maybe now we have enough person-power, that others (including close loved ones) won't be able to easily drain it away. Maybe I won't drain theirs, because I'm starting to have my own. That's a nice thought.)
Or maybe I had that dream because I ate an anchovy, or something. Maybe a cigar is really just a cigar....
Demands. Our inside parkland.brandon2431June 4 2009, 01:19:22 UTC
June third now, re-reading this.
This, is what we're protecting our inside land from. The incessant demands of people. And the threat (often passive-aggressive, but very real) of what will happen if those demands aren't met.
Today we called mom for the first time since we saw her in Klamath Falls. And we got off the phone when we said we were going to - rather rudely, but that was what it took.
Inside, we're diverting others to our town, in order to have contact with them and still protect our park land. I wonder if being so 'comfortable' with rudeness, is a result of that....?
