It’s holiday week again, which just means that we are packing up the car with tents and tarps and camp stoves and such, and heading down to wellfleet for 3 or 4 days of camping and swimming and basic chilling out in the company of sand, trees, and fairies.
Holi Daze redux
And even though this was [...]

Holiday vs. Vacation
What do you do when you aren’t feeling motivated? What do you do when you feel like you’ve come up to a dead end–when nothing seems to be panning out and you aren’t especially excited about where you are at, and you have no faith in your ability to get anywhere else? Well, [...]

Completing the Core
The past two weeks I’ve been working on truing the wheel of my life, starting with the most core areas and working outward. All of this is part of the ongoing theme of self healing that began way way back on January 1st 2009. Remember back that far? All the changes so far [...]

Dead Heart
It’s been a long long week. I’ve been breaking my all my own rules and been busy busy busy. Up early and out ‘til late. On Monday I didn’t see Rowan at all, except sleeping in his bed at the start and finish. Tuesday I woke him up and put him to bed. Thursday [...]

Cry Baby Cry
Woke up this morning with tears streaming down my face and I have absolutely no idea why. I had been dreaming–an interesting little gathering of people broken up into two groups, one of which was very serious and one of which moved from hilarious to trivial often enough that I would find it [...]
