  • I've been posting to a new blog site I found through twitter. I've been writing stuff about life in general, and communication (my supposed area of specialty :D)
    I'm good thanks :) I've been doing a ton of writing so I'm kinda happy about that. Glad to hear your weekend was great.
    hey no worries, i dont always reply on time so i cant expect anyone else to either haha. and i'm loving tarot~ though i confess i'm not very good at it. i keep asking the same questions over and over until i get a good result xD probably a beginner's habit right ? if you know any books or anything that could help me learn, that would be awesome! (and hope you're having a super day!)
    Since you were so kind to share some of your favourites, I will share some of mine. The following is by Haruki Murakami:

    [h=1]Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

    An you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

    And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”[/h]
    I actually ended up copying these into my notebook! These are amazing! Particularly the first, but all of these capture the true miracle of what it means to be alive in a universe such as ours.

    Thank you very much for sharing these <3
    Thank YOU :)

    Things are definitely looking up for me now, though I am not out of the woods quite yet. I still need to have the "talk", but before I can do that, I first need to find what will take the place of medical school.
    i did a tarot reading on how you were feeling today - i got page of pentacles. i hope thats a good sign!
    Honestly, I am in a funk. My emotions are all over the place. I don't know why, either. Is the thing.

    Korg is out of town for the next twenty-four hours and since I don't have to work, I am going to spend
    the whole day baking :) I am super excited. I secretly yearn to be Martha Stewart :p

    I saw your post on having a child and I thought that was incredibly insightful. The thought of children has
    been weighing on my mind as of late and I have found myself reading more and blogs and articles, etc...
    on the subject.

    How are you?
    That is a beautiful picture, but I'm particularly in love with the quote you attached to it. Life is creation, expansion, growth; a much needed reminder during a Monday morning struggle to grease one's wheels. Thank you!!
    What a gorgeous picture!!! Aww....I hope you do to charlene. :hug: It's already off to a good start for me this morning as I decided to come check the forum and here is a beautiful thing to gaze upon and a beautiful person wishing me well. Now that's an awesome jump-start to the day. :D
