How even to begin? Better yet: how now to proceed? When internal refrains long-thought gone start wheels spinning and I KNOW BETTER...I wonder what to do 'bout them/IT, when IT ain't exactly clear. Do I really believe for even an instant that X is so? By asking the qx, by having the issue even arise, well, I'm airing it and therefore giving it some power, validating its existence, blah blah blah.

What does my gut instinct say? It says that X ain't so.

What does the fact that these possibilities invade my mind and I ask questions the very asking of which make me shake my head w/wonder at my *insert derogatory adjective*-ness mean? Apparently the old pathways 'n' routines haven't all gone by the wayside, regardless of my desire for their extinction. MLE version whatEVER has been built on the grave of all that's gone before. Edifices don't easily crumble. We must erect new scaffolds to shore up the remains of structures. Working on this project. 'Tis an on-going process.

Ah. A gleam in the distance: a thought...perhaps a reason.

Moving away from big-picture goal-orientation. Hat racks. Coat racks. Frameworks for ideas.

A new Dear Friend asked recently how I'd changed over time. Well, thoughts/thought processes/qx raised internally today make me think the changes're more in how I DEAL w/such routines rather than following new ones. Must find ways to channel whatever's coming up and making me wonder/ask/worry...is it worry? Is it concern? What IS IT? Is it just mental knee-jerking, old routines runnings their course when exhaustion kicks in? Will I feel/think differently o'morrow?

Not overly concerned, just following along and seeing what's up, what's what.

Okay. Just came up w/a hypothetical that could explain the odd train o' thoughts. Not really sure how to test the hypo though. Not really sure whether I need to do so or whether it'll suffice that I've come up w/a possible reasonable logical explanation which means it's rational and not intuitive...which means it's understandable w/out being SO/true/cause for concern. (In other words, my brain was talking, not my heart.)

What's gone on: generalization gone wild. What follows: realization of invalidity of such a proposition (X does NOT follow from Y)...and relaxation 'bout the whole stupid thing.

How've I changed? I just thought this through aka processed this w/out agonizing and spinning and stressing unduly or for any appreciable length o' time.

In some ways I am leaping into the unknown. It's a leap of faith. Eyes wide open. Arms spread wide. Here I go...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

My internet hates me right now, so I try to avoid IM when possible because it just keeps logging me in and out and I miss messages. :(

(1) Yeah, thinking 'bout the truth of your last line here does indeed quell much concern.
(2) Your comment 'bout "it's in the water" amuses me greatly as another LJ-bud had opined just recently that something in the water's responsible for the rash of recently-announced pregnancies amongst those in her world. (Yeah, yeah, leaving aside all snide comments about other responsible fluids.)

I agree that having others with you does help at times, though I have experienced being alone while another holds your hand. When you are in the dark and feeling your way through the 'mysteries', it's nice to know you're not alone.

Dump it in the water and see if it floats. Then you can burn it.

Or play Pooh Sticks! Yea, do that.
