i woke up and will fall asleep alone tonight. i was a bit bummed that my plans fell through, and then i started to think about geographic proximity and how nice that it has been to have had a lover a few blocks away, and how i'd like that again some day....
i have so many yummy people in my life... so far away. not enough weekends. kind of like so many books.... so little time.
i want to commit to this area. settle in. create community. that's hard to do when i feel like i am constantly travelling... lovers live 2 hours away by car or train, others 4 - 6 hours via various methods (train, plane and automobile) . sometimes i feel like i'm doing all the traveling. so right now, i want to spend time in the newly purchased abode, and i want people to come to me.
choices will be made. my dance card is full. and i'm not on it.
i give so much of myself to others. i need to give to myself as well.
perhaps for lent, instead of giving up something, i will commit to give time to me.
happy valentines day.
i've started the artist's way. have i mentioned that already? gee, it's tough touchy feely stuff. but i can already feel that the programme is motivating change. i have mixed feelings about this book, ever since it came out in 1992 and people wouldn't shut up about it. my resistance to being a lemming kept me from it.
i think that this may be just like what i think about diets. consistent application of well defined principles is bound to do something...
