Writer's Block: Recurring Dreams
Do you ever have recurring dreams? If so, are they good dreams or nightmares?I've never snagged one of those "Writer's Block" thingies before, but this one applies to me ( Read more... ) -
Vita procedit
I'm waiting for 9 a.m. so's I can call the dentist for an appointment. I've been awake since 3, so the waiting is already in full force. It's been a magical year so far, with normalized sleep patterns along with increased energy, more activity, and less spasticity and pain, so it was doubly disheartening to get slammed out of a decent sleep so ( Read more... ) -
Instinct, consciousness and other kewl schtuff
Although not enrolled in any courses, I enjoy watching the UCSD Channel fairly regularly. I've stumbled across Wendy Doniger lecturing on the Rg-Veda (and defending her translations thereof) that way. I learned about the basic principles of photovoltaics that way too. Stuff I'm interested in -- and stuff I never knew I was interested in before ( Read more... ) -
Reset Button ;->
I've been away from LJ for a while. Dunno as I'll ever be able to catch up, so I'm pretending we just pushed a giant "Reset" button here. How y'all are? :->
I'm awesome, fantastic, incredible -- just throw some more synonyms in, I'm all of 'em. The whole year thus far has been ... well, it's been magic for me. Also majik and even sometimes magick ( Read more... ) -
Brrrr!
It's been cold. We had a couple smallish storms with wind and rain; sun is out now but it's still freezing. My rocks survived the first round, and I was looking at them, running this whole thing about how my rocks are balanced, same way my life is balanced: a little off kilter, occasionally skew-wise, but standing tall, right? Then the second round ( Read more... ) -
Anecdotal evidence
Anecdotal evidence is not "scientific" in the sense that it's been subjected to double-blinded placebo-controlled large multi-center trials and "proven" in a lab. Sometimes it's still convincing; other times decidedly not.
"I took Substance X and I felt great!" is an example, generally not convincing to me.In the later months of last year, I ( Read more... ) -

Cornucopia
Sometimes unexpected gifts fall into our laps, gifts that cost nothing and mean everything. I got one of those yesterday.
Seeing my grown daughter in her own home, preparing a Thanksgiving feast with the help of her old man, playing hacky-sack in the Sombrero parking lot, yakkety-yakking about life, the universe, and everything, sending the 'rents ( Read more... ) -
Cocoon
That's what I'm in. It felt like a shroud for a while, but I think it's a cocoon. Lots of development still to be done, from the inside out. A complete restructuring. At the end, we'll (including self) meet the Imago.
I foolishly thought I was a done deal, but nope -- there's a whole nother complete restructuring coming up, I think.
We'll see. :
