That it's finally September is a relief to me. I guess you'll need to pack a few spare notebooks next time. =)Karen Thiessenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367131582438076366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-2998362058681271962015-09-01T13:07:56.840-04:002015-09-01T13:07:56.840-04:00I have been trying to write a post for some months...I have been trying to write a post for some months ago just for this reason you are talking about here. Thinking. And untangling my brain. But it seems so difficult for me. It ussually happens that I do not know how to start and what to write. Sometimes I write quotes from the books I am reading. Today I copied a quote from this post. <br /><br />My husband loves writing and journaling and I try to learn from him, looking at his proccess and asking for advice<br /><br />I am also thinking of ordering the book from LB. I am sure it will be inspiring.<br /><br />Thanks, Judy.Montse Llamashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870328257747437111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-52074918760077058792015-09-01T12:20:41.273-04:002015-09-01T12:20:41.273-04:00the spinning sufis always inspire me when life fee...the spinning sufis always inspire me when life feels a bit too fast and chaoticMo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-32795058085230391142015-09-01T10:08:15.455-04:002015-09-01T10:08:15.455-04:00alone time is so key.alone time is so key.judehttp://spiritcloth.typepad.com/spirit_cloth/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-49640148027786364302015-09-01T09:55:20.378-04:002015-09-01T09:55:20.378-04:00Last night in the dharma talk after a Zen sitting,...Last night in the dharma talk after a Zen sitting, 'Koshin' spoke of becoming new, of becoming other than the you expected, of letting it go, of freeing the self to begin again, of becoming someone else. Simultaneously, and for many days, slowly and with quiet determination, I have been digging back through decades of long neglected closet-space rooms to eliminate many past objects of the many personas stored there. The physicality of this work is daunting because I've been here since 1969 through many incarnations of self, and the work is dirty too because dust and rust do not sleep. The work is also bringing those several personas back up out of their forgetfulness to the light of this moment. It is illuminating, but most of the artifacts are no longer necessary. The work is slow both on account of my physical ability, and the thoughts the discoveries engender. I am abandoning this process on Thursday for a trip up to dear friends in Massachusetts through the 9th, but I have made a calendar note to visit MOMA on the 11th (free Friday nights) to look for Boetti. Your post has inspired me.Ms.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09479767121319709878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-27845291664917994372015-08-31T19:01:57.728-04:002015-08-31T19:01:57.728-04:00Gail, the book about Louise Bourgeois by Ulf Kuste...Gail, the book about Louise Bourgeois by Ulf Kuster is so good!
