on belonging.

May 25, 2006 15:28

I'm almost scared to write. I mean, I work in a call center. There's always the spectre of The Next Call hanging over my head. Thankfully I've been moved to a morning shift (0700 - 1600 for the curious) and that is currently far less busy than my previous 2d shift (that was 1530 - 0030). And I get to see my daughter more now, so it's good all ' ( Read more... )

Being a member of a community can sometimes provide a sense of belonging. Is your local pagan community sufficiently organized to serve that purpose?

oh, agreed. My schedule hasn't allowed it heretofore, and now that it does, I'm remembering the way the community was so fractured and politic -- back when I was in it. It may have changed, though.

Austin is a liberal hotbed. I should be able to find something :)

Make the effort; nothing ventured nothing gained.

As somewhat of a side note -- it certainly would be good for me to get out and get more involved. That would help my sense of connectedness (or lack thereof) that I'm feeling at the moment.

But things like this here don't make me want to get involved. I'm sure that Things Are Going To Happen in any organisation (CMA, or Council of the Magickal Arts, is the largest pagan group in Central Texas), but I don't play politics and I don't like taking sides. I like gossip as much as the next person, but it doesn't MEAN anything until substantiated by personal experience with the person in question.

I would rather just go somewhere, be friends, have friends, make connections. Judging from this letter, the pagan community in the Austin area is still fractured.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it ... what do you think?

You make sense. You make scary sense.

What will happen if you let it out?

thanks :) glad to know I'm not the only one. Modern society tends to isolate us so much.

Anyway, to be honest, I've no idea what will happen if I let it out. I'm not sure I know HOW to let it out. Even if I did, I laways want to know generally whats going to hapen before I do a thing; I have a big problem with not looking before I'm leaping.

Make sense? It should, especially for you. I think this is an Owl trait.
