It feels good to be home. It feels odd that home's about to shift close to a thousand miles Northward. So much is twirling & swirling through my mind right now. Whiter Shades of Pale. CDs'll be amongst the last things to pack.
Okay, not only is the soundtrack about to change to/in my life, but the cast is shifting, too...some stars will stay in the firmament. Others'll fade away (some for good, some for a while...then when we're together again it'll be as if we never parted). How long does it take to forge strong bonds that'll last? Some folks you swore you were so incredibly close to drift away. And it tears at you when the two of you part ways, it shreds you, it makes you doubt yourself, your judgment, your sanity, your worth/value. My way of dealing with this is by adopting the Sh!t Happens philosophy, at least briefly. Blame-game = unnecessary, unwise, perhaps even dangerous.
Lamplighting's an important job. Fires need tending. Furnaces need stoking. Friendship requires stroking - hmm, I'm not sure about this at all. Something's necessary for f-ship, but I'm not sure what. Since each and every r-ship's a bit - or a lot - different (in a word: unique), diff reqs will fit diff circs.
Where to: PDX
What next: DUNNO
Hmm, balance may be in order: letting what will be be, what will will, going w/flow, seeing where paths lead + wresting control of my life, taking a proactive approach, mastering my destiny. In other words, learn how to play the game of Life, then play it. That's precisely what I aim to do next.
THIS is the high I've been wanting...and waiting for...and it's because I took the first step. Yeah, the trek of 1000 miles begins with a baby step, but I ain't taking baby steps this time, I'm freaking leaping ahead...where's that darned string? oh so many places to go...
I hereby declare Dr Seuss the curator of my animal guides. I used to keep 'em listed in the back page of my paper journal. Time to search 'em out and add 'em to the mix once again.
