Interbeing

[doodlemaier]

There are times like these when I want to be through with the world of illusions, finished with the illusion of time, done with all the rational qualities of form that make everthing 'this' and not 'that', and all the politics that go along with them. No sooner than I begin to think this way do I remember that when I am truly able to work beyond the paradigm of symbols and my identification with them, when I've finally transcended these modes of perception and work directly with the underlying reality, all of them will simply cease to be, and I'll be left without so much as

. . . a place to sit.

L . . . I'm grateful for the folks here that understand these ambiguous non-sequiturs and anomalous posty-bits of mine. Many on this journal, where I accept and appreciate them for where they are now, probably surf right over these with no more consideration beyond 'deansavatar = Flake'. Where they might not always have the luxury to take for granted a place in this universe to sit they can rest easy in the belief that, for them, a chair is just a chair. . .

EST?

We certainly shall, Dear. I admit that I'm pretty bad about making phone calls, and telephony in general (ask anyone . . .) We are in the same time zone, right?

P.S.

If there's no ill will, why are you hiding everything you post in his journal? that's a great way to sow trust.

ok, to be honest, i have been terribly confused about this whole thing. and i havent known what best to do. last night i thought i would delete 'aumsalad' as well as my other journals. i have really been tied in knots to think that i had been the catalyst for such heavy pain for you. the both of you. i have also been feel this pain, please believe it. and, i am, still. and i was thinking as i read your responses this morning, that it warmed my heart so much to think that you would actually consider accepting me here, in friendship. thank you so much. please do not misunderstand the deletions here. i was wanting to give the two of you the space that you need to heal. i dont want to standing the way of that. i can see that you need it. i most definitely will not be stubborn in my want for these friendships, especially if it means harm to you, or to dean. so, i will leave it at this: i am taking a step back here, to give you some [much-needed] breathing room. feel free to come to me when/if you you would like to accept this open hand of friendship. i do not take this opportunity for granted, nor do feel i am owed anything at all. thanks for hearing me through all of this. your communication means so very much to me.
