mlerulesRealization: Commuting by air tires me out far less than by road. I'm home at the Hive for not much time 'tween trips to and time at CopperMoon this month...yet I'm thoroughly enjoying my time here w/l'il recovery/recharging time needed. Achieving and maintaining BAPAMAP quite nicely. Heh, well, at least I'm TAKING the time, which may make a difference to how long it takes to reach BAPAMAP.
I timed yesterday (Tu) just right: woke up nice 'n' early after Monday night's Snuggleversary (2nd) w/Amazing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lighfoote (ALF), leaving at just 'bout their usual time w/loves lightfoote & wildwoosi, getting to experience a bit more of life together after a long weekend of same - and liking it quite a bit, too...as New R-ship Energy (NRE) evolves into Mature R-ship Energy (MRE) (not any less or worse, just different - characterized by Smiles of Joy 'n' Chunky Peanut-Butter Moments) - w/brilliant splashes of MNRE-glow after geography/time-apartnesses.
Time apart lets you treasure time together even more. It's harder to take anything for granted when it's relatively rare 'n' sparse. Thinking now I really want to hear more of Desert Solitaire read aloud. Ditto reading more Phantom Tollbooth aloud myself. Hmm, lemme know when you're up for it, eh,vismaya_viewer & stinkynunzios. No worries re: when. Just know I'm interested and happy waiting 'til whenever's right for ya'll.
I so enjoy and NEED times such as these - when I'm home w/time to read, think, knock about tidying, shrinking piles o' carp, culling, doing things I often think 'bout doing but rather than beating myself up for not doing 'em, just doing 'em...in between postings and thought-bubbling such as this one. ;-) Balancing thinking 'n' doing. Doing while thinking and vice versa. Planning spinning juggling w/out even moving my hands...setting the gears in motion and then watching 'em move on their own, now again filling the sail w/wind and mixing metaphors up in my galvanized mental pressure-cooker, letting the mind waonder as it will, putting the pieces of memory away into jigsaw-puzzles, into filing cabinets...letting the webs & yarns weave and threads interlace and tiny fizzy bubbles lift me up, appreciating the richness of my life, of the people who choose to share it w/me (IT = life, theirs, mine, ours...drinking of the wonder, the joy, the awe, sustaining the peaceful islands carved out from the chaotic seas of sand, diving down doorways in the sand, listening to the music, making music, being the music...living art.
Mini-Epiphany(tm): One of the reasons I quite like large gatherings/parties is the multitude of opportunities to find and share people's soul islands w/them. Yes, each person's an island and we each die alone, but we're not dead yet, so let's take advantage of the time and opportunity and desire to share of ourselves w/those interested...getting to know others a bit better, camping out on their islands and inviting them to spend time on theirs. None of this getting voted off nonsense though.
Sharing desires, thoughts, possibilities...tapping into & exploring communal wellsprings of creative juices, sharing resources (mental & emotional & spiritual as well as physical), manifesting possibilities. This I long to do, do do, and love doing! Okay, so THIS is something I want more of in my life. What do I need/want to get rid of to make room for more of this? Distance is one thing...ah...heh...good, NOW I know what to burn for Woomancipation this Saturday (annual ritual burning of the old to make room for some new/more of what's desired/needed): those miles in between here (Hive) and there (current manifestation of CopperMoon). Symbolically: the slices outta the map that ALF & I figured weren't really necessary for our lives. Oops, 'cept now we'll have to leave in at least a bit of Fed'l Way.

Last night's concert was great. Could wax all poetic 'bout it, but now my mind's on getting going w/the map-quest reduction project for Woomancipation. And there're dishes and piles o' carp awaiting my attention, so I'll sign-off for now and get back to my occupations outside the ether. More posts'll likely spin out throughout the day...
