Learning the great joys of XML. As a pragmatic-romantic I love balancing the clean (emotionless) focus of this base language along with the emotionally chaotic aspects of people and art. .

Eire – Tired, I come home; carefully placing my scabbard on the table as I crouch down to a meal of tepid water. So tired of the battle… so tired

America - Not much is left of me after this last raid. The white savages get closer and closer every day and my people can not run any further.

America - I must continue to hold off these red savages, they’ve taken my children and spouse. I must keep fighting for what is right

America – Barely survived that last battle…so glad to be home.... read more

Breath slows, heart beat drums

Flowing in, pause
Flowing out, pause
Narrator narrates the process
No thoughts, return to breath

Narrator catches a thought
And lets it go

Breath in
Narrator narrates

Breath out
Narrator gets sleepy

Flow in
Narrator falls asleep

Flow out
Awareness falls awake

Flow in
The pregnant void
Flow out
Expanded awareness

Heart beat softens as the breath lengthens
The beat, the breath, the ebb and flow…the unnamed is

We’re back visiting the bohemian “green triangle” area of Northern CA and having a great time. We attended a poetry reading at a local coffee shop. I don't usually like to go to these things as I don’t generally do well with "live" shows. Tonight I went and just decided to work on keeping my awareness in my heart and opening up fully to the space. What an experience - people from all walks of life sharing a single bohemian thread - the desire to think on the fringes of society.

"Work smart not hard"
I thought that was a clever and clean little quote (relayed by one of my computer class instructors, today). It's right up there with, "Pain happens but suffering is an option" and "To survive is to row upstream but to truly live is to flow downstream." I could go on with these all day, lol.

Another wonderful insight I found, from the new book Outliers, is that it takes roughly 10,000 hours (around 10 years of regular daily hours of focus) to become an expert at s... read more

Re: Anyone have trouble with day to Day Job? (in Compassionate Empaths) Biblio, I was thinking of participating in that this year too. I think writing may be one of my callings at this time. Not sure about books but articles might work for me. I'm actually taking an online writing course with Eva Shaw and it's grea... read more

Re: have you ever tried to do IQ tests? (in spatial dyslexia) I've got good strong teeth but have had fillings (not sure how many of them I actually needed) but since I don't like pain I get regular cleanings and checkups these days - prevention. Was pretty malnourished as a child so am surprised my teeth a... read more

Re: ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, What Is Me? (in EmpathsAlike.com) Yeah, the angry ones will do that to me too. I feel emotions second to the physical sensation. Usually I will feel a headache or some other physical feeling first and if I can figure out who it belongs to it can clear, if I don't notice it's not... read more

Re: Best partner for the INFJ - a NTJ or a NTP? (in INFJ) Ditto what Waylon said regarding relationships. My ENTP husband and I've been together for over 16 yrs - had to both work hard at communication differences but mostly now smooth sailing. The spark feels like we've just met but with the ease of y... read more
