Whatever
I am feeling blah. The situation of continual work , shoving in friendship encounters in spaces available and lack of proper diet has left me feeling this way. Too rushed for me, not enough depth but a lot of ground covered. I was in Caronport the other day and I popped into the library to visit my old friend Carla. I walked past the cubicles that are for rent and remembered fondly when I had one of them rented. I would spend quite a significant amount of my time sitting in that cubicle and reading my books. I might have felt a sense of ennui at the time but in retrospect I was stable- I knew what to expect and I let myself sink into that routine and live off the security that only familiar surroundings can provide. I don't mean to sound like there is not a scrap of warmth in my life right now because quite honestly ; looking at it in a subjective light- I have a lot going for me. I do however want to slow down, what is the point of having experiences at all if I can't sit back and glean from them. I need to reflect, to introspect, to let everything slowly sink in so that it can become part of me. I am tired of being a hard shell- a slick surface that everything just repels off of. I want to be a forest floor that slowly decomposes its occasions; that gradually turns matter into mulch and rich soil. Whatever- Nat

ReplyDeletehey Nat,
ReplyDeletewe have plenty of yard space for you to pitch a tent in if you need a week away. We also have a lot of fire wood and a campstove coffee maker somewhere around here.
if you feeling more civilized you can always set up shop in the spare room..
basically if you need some time away from the rat race you can come here and take a week... I know some folks with cubicles as well... maybe you can get a week sub lease?
we love ya dude...
Yes, yes, I agree with Jordan. And if you needs hints about how you can become more like compost, I can help.
