I like the look and feel of the fog today, it's cool outside and somewhat somber. The last several days were beautiful and sunny and I welcome the change. Such light filled days carry expectations that didn't mesh with me.

Waves ripple and undulate inside me, synapses are moving and reconnecting, a new place lives inside me that somehow reinforces the core of light  I "re-discovered" after the assault. All these are physically tangible to me, I feel them; old cells are being replaced, like normal I guess, but I don't usually feel them..

I don't feel like "myself", I'm eating less, my organs seem to be shifting around, yet I feel I'm becoming.

Yesterday was a day where I sank very low and felt a very quiet intense rage inside. A strange and horrible day; a day of frustration and loneliness and seemingly nothing coming in. I sat at the computer too long; I didn't meditate, I read, but fell asleep. I couldn't write. The sun made the day seem too happy and full, why wasn't I?  All the street noise and neighbor urban noise was torturing my every nerve.

I literally forced myself to do yoga at about 5 . Yoga, yoga, yoga. I always feel like rock star when I'm done.

I bought an airline ticket to go home for Thanksgiving, Monday through Friday. I have a couple things to write, I have my part-time job and hopefully more happening as this day goes on.

A livable paycheck makes you free in this world. My family is behind me and for the first time ever, I'm receiving more graciously. I believe that was another lesson from my sojourn to the desert. Nothing taken yet, but it's coming. Just a little.

I feel as if I'm hustling my ass off, but when the results are so tiny, I wonder why I can't find the path. Where the hell is the path?

perspectives change

I've been out of work before. It was brief, only a couple of months, but you learn a new perspective about paychecks and the jobs we do to earn them.

"A livable paycheck makes you free in this world." That quote is truthful but it can be spun, and is, by people who refuse to work because a job takes away their freedom.

If I had the chance to wind the clock back 30 years or so, I would take a different career path, in a direction that gave me a paycheck but a job that offered more freedom and creativity.

The people earning a living doing what they love have am advantage. I hope that's the job you find.

I replied to this last night, damn iphone, I guess it didn't go through. Thank you for your good thoughts.

Even as I wrote, a livable paycheck makes you free, I knew it wasn't entirely true, I was miserable at my job. I paid my bills but was all bound up and NOT free.

I'm still paying my bills, all on my own, so far, but maybe just maybe better jobs are ahead.

For you too!
