It’s another one of those little occasions where I feel compelled to write down something; I suppose it would be different if I were committed, heart, soul, mind, and body towards the writing enterprise, but I admit that I am not there yet – but this morning, during this rare interstice of writing whim, I do feel compelled to say this:

I feel a lot more capable lately.

Maybe it’s because of the combination of the systems and the way that I think about life, the actions I take, and the way that I practice and coordinate things, but things have gotten a lot more efficient, and I find myself able to do far more than I used to be able to do, with less time, and with better results.

Is that a given for everything I do now in the present and the hereafter? Not really.

Am I considered “good” to all the levels that I might aspire towards?

Certainly not. I struggle with many things – far too many, in fact, and in some areas I would still consider myself positively lame.

But as the late Hans Rosling once observed, and as I paraphrase, things can be bad but still be becoming better.

You’re getting there, son.

Keep it up. 🙂

A Fuller Life

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of socializing, going out for events, meeting friends, hanging out; part of it is because I’ve become more efficient and thus a bit more on track to accomplishing these little goals I have for myself on the daily, but a little bit of it […]

On Narcissism in Simulacrum

A strange thing seems to be happening to one of my friends.  I won’t say which, and I may not actually tell her about this – If she does read this, whether immediately, down the line, or otherwise, I would be happy, but I won’t count on it.  She is […]

“This Is A Safe Space”.

These are words that I’ve heard different variants of time and time again, in different permutations and combinations across engagement sessions and times – and I think it is fascinating how they take their effect and how we may create that safe space for others even as we receive it […]
