So, tonight marks the end of my weekend as a reinstated bachelorette. What have I accomplished? Well, I managed to have more vivid dreams, yet managed to only write down a few. I have managed to spend some time with beloved friends, that I don’t get to see much. I think this is what I miss most. Being able to come home and just be by myself. I’m reconnecting with the step-terror, as his da isn’t here to pet and love him, so he has to settle with second best. I’ve enjoyed it. I haven’t had anyone putting pressure on me to get anything done, that I haven’t wanted to get done. Spent some time thinking to myself, sleeping on my own, spent time in my own room, enjoying this world on my own. I woke up this morning to a downpour. It was pleasant, and I can’t wait till my room is built in the backyard. It will be wonderful to sit in a roofed area, where I can just absorb the sounds and the scents. Oh, it will be lovely!!!! One of these days, I will take multiple weeks off to go spend time in the woods. I need to get back to that part of me. My tree self, that sits in the rain and drinks up the bounty in wonderment. I’ve been trying to re-connect with willows, but the long-distance is hard. I’m contemplating planting one in the backyard, or at my camping spot on Druid’s hill. It would be a means of marking my spot. My area, my space in time. My goal for the next couple of weeks. Little t.v. and technology, more time outside. I do need to work on limiting my writing to actual paper and not so much a computer. It doesn’t help me get to where I need to be.
curious – does writing on a wood product bring you closer to trees? Why is using a computer to write, not getting you where you want to be?

not really, but if i’m on the computer, it means i’m usually watching t.v., checking my mail, chat proggie open, etc, etc. i’m finding that i’m spending too much time doing all that, and not doing anything else. i feel that i need to start doing the ‘else’, instead of sitting around on my computer.

I can understand how difficult it can be sometimes when you have the computer to really spend time being as spiritual as you would like. For me personally, I can get embroiled in 30 or 40 games of freecell instead of doing 1000 things that I should be doing simply because it’s there. The computer for me I think really helps disperse a lot of my nervous energy, but rather than being helpful sometimes it keeps me from sublimating it into more productive outlets. If you do decide to take off, we’ll miss ya, but as long as you let me know you’re okay every now and again I suppose I’ll survive. *wink*
