#025 // The wisdom of a fool won't set you free

Jul 13, 2008 14:16

When the two halves of yourself are warring it makes it difficult to sleep. Reconciling what you know is truth with what your instincts and eyes are telling you is never the simplest of things ( Read more... )

...I can sympathize with you on the situation leading to difficulty sleeping. Very much.

I hope things get better for you.

distant_dragon July 13 2008, 21:33:44 UTC

So I hear. Thank you, I appreciate it.

...you better treat Bastet right.

subject_e0057 July 13 2008, 21:41:06 UTC

Ah.. yes. I'm hoping I will too...

As for the sleeping... Sometimes a long walk in thought Or talking to yourself can help sort things out.

distant_dragon July 13 2008, 21:46:33 UTC

I'm sure you'll do okay.

I've done that a lot lately. The walk part at least.

I understand how that feeling is, the internal battle. Believe me, I know...

Sometimes, meditation helps allow you to rest. Even herbal brews can help calm the mind. Other times, it isn't always pleasant, but giving in to the other half at least settles one enough to sleep. It just depends on what that other half is looking for...

That may not be the best advice, but I do hope it helps.

distant_dragon July 13 2008, 21:34:59 UTC

Therein lies the problem. One half knows it has what it wants, the other is trying to convince it that it doesn't, and it makes for headaches.

Have we written to each other before? Your handwriting isn't jarring my memory.

frostwolf_king July 13 2008, 21:38:55 UTC

No, I don't believe we have... I am Howl.

Hm, now that I am unsure if I've ever encountered before. But that certainly does sound headache inducing.

And what does that side have, if you do not mind me asking, that is causing this internal battle?

distant_dragon July 13 2008, 21:40:58 UTC

Aha. A belated welcome to the fishbowl then. I'm Drake.

It's a long convoluted story that wouldn't make sense even if I tried to explain it.

unlostsoul July 13 2008, 21:48:25 UTC

I gotta say, I'm not sure I understand all that, but AMEN AMEN AMEN.

distant_dragon July 13 2008, 21:52:51 UTC

You have easier access to understanding it than you realize.

We're quite the pair at the moment, aren't we?

...thanks. I appreciate that, I really do.

moonlit_mirage July 13 2008, 23:35:58 UTC

Drake-san... Sometimes our eyes do not see as well as we think. Truth is what we make of it.

I wish you luck discerning your reality.

I also hope your date goes well.

distant_dragon July 13 2008, 23:53:11 UTC

Perhaps, perhaps not.

Thank you on both counts.

moonlit_mirage July 14 2008, 00:09:25 UTC

Reconciling oneself is perhaps most difficult in this place, but I trust you will achieve it.

Certainly. I imagine you will have a pleasant time in one of those activities, at least.
