wolven7What are we to do, when all of the options, in our lives, are turned down, and turned away? Where are we supposed to turn, when everything that once gave us comfort no longer has time, or ability, to do what it can? We turn inward. That is where we go, and that is what we do. But in looking inward, do we not neglect that which is outside, completely? Until we can, on the inside, find the correlation and the resting place of all that is outside, are we not merely retrewating, hiding ourselves away, until we feel more courageous, and more stalwart? And if we are, where lies the harm, in that?
There is a misconception, abound, that people cannot find, within themselves, everything that they need to exist, in this world. This persists, mainly, because the people who believe it do not look hard enough, within themselves. There is, within each of us, the capacity and ability to Create that which we need in the world, and a Darkness, that flows from the Light of the Outside. But we ignore this. We hide our shadowselves, from the Light, thinking that those above and outside will not understand, but the key, here, is that they are all facets. They are all pieces of the larger whole, and even we, ourselves, see not the entire jewel. Our "Friends" know us, and our "Coworkers" know us, and our "Family" knows us, all differently. They know how we are, aruond them and, whether they be subtle or glaring, there are differences.
My Shadow and I are One.
We know the Light and The Dark
as things that lay upon us and
Create us.
Without my Shadow,
I could not be whole,
And without my Light
My Darkness would be incomplete.
In the Darkness of my centre,
I find a Dancing Light
and wherever that Light is not
I find a sliding solace of Warmth
and Depth.
I cannot be whole, without myself
and my facets cannot shine.
The Brighter the Light,
The Deeper the Shadow.

I don't know what the hell that was supposed to mean, but i wrote it. I cannot continue in this manner of total expectation, hesitation, and waiting. There has been Nothing to sustain my more mundane efforts. No encouragement, on the Job front, nothing that even looks to be promising. I've had encouragement, in the way of my Creation, and quite a bit of it. But that encouragement is of the same source from which sprung the Idea of creating, and while this may mean One thing, taken one way, it means something completely different, in the mundane context. One way means i'm doing well, and that i will receive that for which i have worked, so hard. The other way means i'm crazy. These are not, necessarily, different things. Though i would prefer to Have the "Real" world, coincide with the world that i know to mean equally as much, i will accept that they are seperate and fractured, at present. There is little i can do, about this, and all i can do is continue to try.
I have opportunities that have presented themselves, and conditions to fulfill. If they do not happen in the manner, heretofore alluded, then i will be obliged to consider other means. As it stands, i have Temp work, to look forward to, and a KMFDM concert to attend. We shall see what comes of all of these things, Yes? Yes.
We Shall See.
