I’m back in portland from going home for solstice, with renewed focus to remain present to the tasks I have set before myself. Concretely, that means I have decided to no longer use the internet at my house. It’s way too easy access, and I’m addicted to it. I intend to hand over my wireless card to a friend for safekeeping. I notice now that I’ve restricted the internet that now my addiction habit is looking for other avenues to score some screen-time. Namely, I’m now contending with movie-cravings.
So, all that to say that I probably won’t be writing here nearly as much. I do hope to continue writing as much, mostly through letter writing (although I am wrestling with the reality of losing my writing for future reference), so if you want to receive a letter from me, you might if you email me your address.
I’m sick right now, and I’m allowing myself to grieve my self-imposed separation from family. I’m hoping to deal with these things directly so that they can be integrated and not hold me back subtly the whole time while I’m here.
I’m also planning to get involved in the co-counseling community here in portland.
I have other secret projects that I’m working on too (they’re not all that secret; it’s just fun to say, and I’m pretty much done writing right now)
