ah, we can hope they are gentle, but stress, pain, and numbness do not for gentle slumbers make... stress and pain, the physical and emotional conflicts that come from unresolved or uncooperative mind and body systems, they are both restless waters shifting between torrential downpours and boulder-smashing rapids to unseen riptides and mesmerizing whirlpools, none of which is safe to be too close to, no less within... and numbness, the silent killer, leaves the shell of the body wandering in near zombie states through the basic daily activities of survival while the mind avoids, the heart sleeps, and the body vegetates... all can give the appearance of gentle slumbers from the outside, at least to the untrained or ignorant eye, but those who have been there know better that stress, pain, and numbness are no places to stay for long... if we have a choice... and yet, in so many different ways, most of humanity do have a choice and choose to live there (when will we ever learn)...
and we, dear blog family, know the journey all too well... the outside and the inside become one uneasy blend of wtf?... and all we do is continue... but can we continue a bit differently?... the few words we share occasionally is a different kind of river, a river that came bring some positivity of hope that someone does understand, that someone does care, that we are not as along as we feel... i care about you and wish you a smile today, wish we shared more, even a little more, even a word... come out come out wherever you are, and continue...
hello... hello... hello...

gentle slumbers?

So I was tipsy, and wrote a post here and then deleted it in a 'I should be thankful and stop complaining' type of impulse.. But I think I have to write something similar again to give myself a chance to complain twice.
Point is, I'm thankful I have this place I can come to and share some words with you, blog family, words that keep constantly typing themselves up in my mind but still need an ear (eye) to listen (read).
All these years this place felt like being behind the scenes of the life's play, where we all can sit down with a drink and discuss the latest uneasy blend of wtf that we just went through.
And so:
Hello! Hello! Hello!
Good to see some words from you, keep writing..
yay :)
yay!! even :)
i won't speak for them, but i do believe mikee (once z0tl) and joanne (once serenity) do read this too... that's why i keep trying to talk them into clicking on the invite cuz that way this place will always be accessible for them if they want to just pop a word or few in... and as you show, total control over deleting anything is up to the author writing...
you can still complain... and if you don't want to make it a post, you can complain in comments... i'll read and comment, if not the same day, then eventually :)
i turned my daily blog into a complaining place so much i am kinda sorta starting a new daily blog... in fact, i've started a few new daily blogs, but just have not walked away from the (e)thereal daily blog yet... must want to keep the complaining place even though i created a place just for complaints (yeah, i am literally weird... or maybe i mean weirdly literal)... it's called meaningless complaints, go figure (helps me keep laughing at myself, so it's a good thing lol lam :)
anyway, yeah, there is a whole mess of wtf in this world and sometimes i think i may be a wtf magnet... i figure that as long as i still have enough madness in my mind to find laughter no matter wtf, i'm ok...
i am happy to see your words and hope you find your laughter too...
