back to good

New York always makes me feel like a really, really small fish in a really, really big pond. A very colorful pond. Having to coexist with a bajillion other people for several days sort of leads me to question the value of a single human life. But only very briefly. Smushed in a subway car, part of me feels like I'm in a herd of strange animals, but ( Read more... )

I like you all of the time. But your lj's make me love you. That's no joke, and it's no exaggeration (which I have a really bad habit of).

It's funny you should mention redirected energy. That's been on my mind all day for some reason. I think it's hugely powerful and helps those of us who have the tendency to dwell. I guess the only danger is the blurry line between "redirection" and "avoidance" or "suppression".

Thanks Franklin. I love you too. For your lj's and everything else...including your exaggerations.

Yeah, good call. Maybe redirecting energy can be a healthy way to find the safe middle ground between dwelling and avoidance/suppression.

I'm impressed! Too bad the stuff you have to read for school isn't this interesting.

Wish you could have come with us. I'm sure any exchanges between you and our friend in the park would have been hilarious.

I'll be around until Saturday so maybe I'll for sure be at the house tonight or tomorrow night.

that was beautiful. you are beautiful!

i am always looking forward to spring, but you're right... there are things to enjoy in the dead of winter as well. i mean, there aren't a TON, but there are some. for instance, if you don't live in the state of alabama, there's snow. of course, here, we don't have that opportunity. but, there is still the wonder of christmas around family and friends that is entirely wholesome here in the south. and don't forget the good food, like dressing and turkey and yams that usually show up around this time. so, i've gone on a tangent.

i'm glad that you had a wonderful time in ny! i liked the pics you have on facebook. and i hope to see you soon! :)

You're right about good things in winter. I like your tangents.

I miss you! Maybe I'll see you before I head back to Mobile. Probably not with council but it's a good thought.
