Isolation

[mlerules]

Been here (SoCal) for over a week now. Had a glorious time w/loves and friends. Also took care of loads o' biz, getting ducks lined up in rows, knocking down others previously lined up, cleaning up messes, &c. Compartmentalizing lots. Feeling right now both very close to and very distant from folks...geography be damned. Oh, this ain't making much sense and I'm too knackered to make it clearer. Wanting/needing SOMETHING, not sure what. Engaging in physical activity where I accomplish things and see/feel/know I'm making a difference will likely help lots.

Saw Revolutionary Road tonight, so'm thinking about folks giving up - or drifting away from - dreams, passions, desires - in exchange for expediency, for meeting others' expectations, for ease...lots more to say/think 'bout along such lines. But sleep's calling, a few more phone calls in the a.m. await my attention, and I must finish packing.

Frankl says "Who are we to ask the meaning of our lives? Life asks us the meaning of ourselves"

somehow that seems relevant to me when I consider the dreams I gave up to be able to accomplish what is expected of me.
