I know there is a need to get back to what i started this blog for, being my self, even more so that is, rediscover stuff about me and how it affects the world
( Read more... )
You're right about the complexity of integrating those things I (we?) grumble about and who I am trying to become. I think this is one of the interesting things about "becoming" as opposed to "being." A lot of my "complaints" and gripes and groans have to do with being summed up, seen for a facet of myself, but not as a whole person. This might be a dimension of human experience, it might be a reflection of our culture. In either case, I think there's a third way.
I don't believe we ever escape who we've been, but we can embrace our history as part of who we're beccoming and remind ourselves that it's not an inhibition, but an invitation. If we don't like some way that we've been living, some part of our history, we can name it and move on.
A lot of my griping is based on the fact that I know thee things intellectually, but allow my fear, my emotions, my less-generous nature to define me. That's got stop.
I got the funding for collaboration, so I need to get off my ass. This weekend!
as alway you say say it much better then i but i have people bugging me here at work and interupting my train of thought, i have some comments back but i might wait till this evening when i have a clear amount of time to have my thoughts uninterupted...
good on the funding, i think i will have to pick your brain more in the near near future (if you don't mind)
Dugz, i think in a sense the one "constant" a bout art is change. in the sense things all ways have to change or they cease to exist. more thoughts on this in a bit.
I will be in Minnesota Friday , will stay through the 5th of March. family stuff. I am sure I will see you. -d
I think you are lovely anyway Pexa, regardless. It is not always that what you write that says something about you, often it is the bits that you leave out that says so much more about you. And it is all good stuff. You are a nice guy. It is obvious that you have a wicked sense of humor. Just be you. It'll be perfect....
