Bits and pieces |
Just when you thought you had cleaned them up you find more. As you
live your life a never ending stream of bits and pieces clutter up
your time and your thoughts. Shattered images of some whole that
never eventuates.
Sometimes I get so very lost in the desert of my own isolation. In
fact lost would be an almost full time occupation for me these days.
Yet, that is all there is. That and the occasional oasis along the way.
Where are we going? It is a strange and wondrous question. For me it
seems, I have no real awareness of what came before. So where I'm
going seems irrelevant.
I've just got these bits and pieces keeping me occupied.

Hi Glenn,
I don't know what exactly you are going through, but I can roughly
imagine the feelings you are describing. They soudn tougher than
anayhting I have ever allowed in myself.
I hope you are being gentle with yourself. Not in terms of avoiding the
truth, but in terms of growing to accepting what needs to be accepted
and letting go where acceptance isn't possible or good (there are more
categories, but I don't know them well enough to describe them.).

Hey Sweetheart!
I'm not totally in control... I have tried to relinquished my
perception of that to form an open mind. Yet, in complete contrast
and to my surprise this, for me, enables some much needed self
discipline. I am actively protecting myself. I am forming some
healthier routines... I am developing. Although, at my age, it is
more of a redevelopment!
Being aware of the war tends to be an advantage rather than a
problem. What to do about it is still probably the biggest problem.
I have had experiences that most people didn't. Therefore I have
some perceptions and reactions that most people don't.
I have, in combination with ageing, discovered *many* people who
have also had experiences that most people haven't had. They often
appear to me to be healthy individuals but alas, as yet, I have
failed to meet my perception of what my 'individual' should be. I
see many people much further along the path than I and I can't help
wondering why.
Maybe it is not important that I am less developed but in growing
and trying to be more aware it doesn't matter where I am along the
path... I am where I am meant to be... so I should relax about it.
I read your post about relating to other women but not really
succeeding. Mostly what we seek is right under our noses... we just
are not sure enough to find it and exploit it.
Hugs

These last few months, when I've not been fire-fighting the big stuff,
I've been seeking out bits and pieces to keep me sane. Most of the time,
I can do little things, and it keeps me from failing at the big ones. I
try not to feel like a failure.
