mlerulesToday's music: Hank Wms III's Straight to Hell. Sample lines: "I'm a crazed country rebel/And I'm drifting state to state." Some great stuff here! Been a while since I spent time just listening to music, focussing on it. Alternated today w/also doing other things while it 'twas on in the background. Veered back and forth w/music as primary focus or secondary or tertiary or one of a number.
Displaced passion: where does it go? When you have it for something and/or someone...then something shifts, the fabric of existence tears, and things aren't like they were.
Passionate hatred is still hatred. And ultimately cold, even if cloaked in heat.
Being true to a code - can this detract from and/or interfere with being true to yourself? Can it NOT? Yes (in answer to 2nd qx): it can be part and parcel of the person. Hopefully it's well-considered. Contents may settle w/shipping...passage of time.
Not sure why, but today's music started me reading The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle by Baltesar Gracian (tr. Christopher Maurer, 1992) again. This is something best dipped into a teensy bit now and again. One of today's morsels: 89. "There are mirrors for the face, but the only mirror for the spirit is wise self-reflection." Written three centuries ago, but still apt.
Trying to find out what my internal resources are...ways of funding my energies...how to prime my carburetor (sp).
Signing out now. Zzz...
