As I become more and more clear of what I have used (make that "people, places and things") to both soften and harden the truths I contain about myself, much has surfaced.<BR/><BR/>After I read S's response to my questions to you, I went to, shall we say, a women's meeting. The other women in the room and I have been hooked on anything we like. Except true joy. Chemicals to go up; chemicals to go down. Anything that will fix---and I realized that what I have been fixing is true joy.<BR/><BR/>I walked in the desert tonight as the light went opal, then tourmaline, then dark blue. Yes, there was dark blue light. As I saw the light in my cabin window I thought this: I have a learning disability in feeling good.<BR/><BR/>Gods and goddesses know, these are times in which it is often appropriate to feel anything but good. However, for some of us staying deep in hurt is a way to drug ourselves, a way to not have to be mortal, a way to control what cannot be controlled.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to hear more. Here is a scrap of a fine wisdom:<BR/><BR/>“We’re all lovers and we’re all destroyers. We’re all frightened and at the same time we all want terribly to trust. This is part of our struggle. We have to help what is most beautiful to emerge in us and to divert the powers of darkness and violence. I learn to be able to say, “This is my fragility. I must learn about it and use it in a constructive way.”<BR/> ---Jean Vanier<BR/><BR/>p.s. As of today, I have a roof over my head, a vehicle, food, too many cats and just enough work.

Reminds me of this quote, "Life at anytime can be difficult,life at anytime can be easy, it depends on how we adust oneself to life."
