mea culpa

[hermeneut]

I'm writing more journal entries in private these days, as I don't feel like being public about the psychological hermeneutics that pervade my writing. I'm not sure if I feel too misunderstood, or not misunderstood enough. In any case, I'll keep in touch. Keep inside of touch, tactfully intact and in contact, touched that you think(s) this of I

I don't tend to have enough time to be attentive to other people's lives and thoughts on livejournal, but I want to reach out here and say that whatever the difference in our styles of organizing our perceptions and probes of/into the universe, I hope you don't go completely private! I value your inquisitiveness and seeking mind, and I wish that they remain available.

As you mention a few entries down about people not having feedback (whether in your regular life or here online), I feel the same way often with those in my surroundings; but then, I also remind myself that while the communication and exchange of ideas, the having a 'sounding board' to bounce things back and forth and be creative sparks in thinking for each other, is a good thing, also standing as its own is the worth in thinking heedless of response.

After all, many times in our lives we will be found with no human souls to touch with our ideas; however, while we, naturally, seek outside contact.. it is good to remember that, that validity and worthiness of still pursuing and thinking, and even putting them forth to a public audience even if it is a silent journey. I'm finding myself especially focused on that lately, so I suppose it's opportune that I run into you here and speak the same.

Thank you for you sympathy. Certainly, I'm not going completely private. In fact, I find myself retreating from public writing only as a means to learn better how to express myself openly. We could call it, retreat in the service of transcendence, or more simply, backing up to make room for a running start before a leap of faith. Your image of the "sounding board" is perfect. Resonance, creative communication, we paitently pursue the infinite task of expression our intentions and extending our impressions.

As always, I will stay in touch, in the flesh of the spirit.
