the clearing

So I finished another round of the master cleanse this week, my previous stint having been a few years ago. The first time around I had an incredible surge of energy and enthusiasm and stunning breakthroughs on issues. This time around I didn't sleep well and have been in sort of a resistant but very mild funk, until just a little while ago. I have no idea why either trend happened, but it's always interesting to observe whatever shows up, and then goes away.

It's an amazing thing, to be alive. To interact with others. To connect on levels we aren't even capable of interpreting with our senses. To change and grow and expand and react and integrate and laugh. And it's all good.

It feels like someone left the gate open. I can't wait to see what happens next.

roller coaster It's taken me quite a few decades to find myself in a situation where I felt like riding a roller coaster (the amusement park variety, not the life's ups and downs variety--that's a given :-). Yesterday I sat in the pod of the car, clicked the body harness into place, and closed my eyes; that's the only way my vestibular system would tolerate this experience. Breathing was important, too--focusing on the moment and breathing deeply through each twist and turn proved pivotal to my maintaining my sanity. I kept telling myself that it would be over soon, and it was. My legs were a tad wobbly while walking away from the ride, but I was proud of myself for going through with it. I don't think I'll need to ever do it again, but it was fun in a crazy sort of way, and I'm glad I did it. Somehow I managed to set my resistance to the idea aside, and just went with it. Maybe having interacted with the group of folks who are playing with my Resistance Toy material gave me the boost out of nowhere--it truly isn't something I ever thought I would do. But then, life is full of surprises and shifts that we never thought would be possible. Until they are.

three years, lost "Americans spend an average of four hours a day watching TV, an hour of that enduring ads. That adds up to an astounding 10% of total leisure time; at current rates, a typical viewer fritters away three years of his life getting bombarded with commercials." - Scott Woolley, Forbes ~*~*~ This is your brain. This is your brain on television. Any questions?
