Hmmm. Guess I was feeling a bit melancholy when I wrote the last post. Really there’s just a LOT of things happening blisteringly fast yet just at the right speed around here and nearly all of them are quite amazingly good.
Recently there’ve been, say, 24 hour periods of time in which I feel as though I have lived an entire MONTH - in terms of how much felt changed in my world in those few short hours.
People I’ve known - cold and distant – people I’ve only just come to know close, warm, comfortable.
Things I’ve anticipated with some excitement have failed to excite in reality and things that I’ve approached with ambivalence have surprised and delighted.
Doors are opening in unexpectd places, in unanticpated directions.
It’s as though someone is saying “Christine, you are living in SIDEWAYS LAND” just in the same tone of voice Russell used to tell my cat that she “LOVES THE FLOOR”.
Freaking awesome. Mindfulness. An open-ended inquiry into my experience. Questioning without the intention of finding permanent solutions. (The last two bits, again, from Comfortable with Uncertainty)
