Regression
I have regressed a bit since my trip to AZ. I justified going back to 'normal' life with excuses relating to obligation. I have a job and deserve time away from that job to snowboard, ice climb or whatever. Going back to my analogy of going between two worlds. Once I stopped pushing towards the new world, I quickly started getting pulled back towards the old. Put differently, momentum can carry you a long way unless you are headed up a steep hill, in which case you may not even feel the affects of momentum. This was definitely what happened in my case. That being said, I have an acute feeling that 'the experiment' is in fact the most important thing I can be doing at this time. Work is necessary, but many years from now, the work I am doing for them will not even be remembered. I am looking ahead and pointing my bat in the direction I hope to hit towards. I must keep vigilant on my journey though, less I fall back into everyday stagnation. Traveling helps me keep focused for some reason. I've done quite a bit of writing on this last trip, most of which is ready to post. I won't post it all at once as few people can read War & Peace on a daily basis. Most importantly, I'm back on the case. I'll probably fall off the wagon again and I do request my friends loudly proclaim when I have as knowing and doing are almost always separate beasts.Posted by wonko at November 26, 2003 11:22 AM
