Re: still going on
I would like more time.....I sometimes have to war to retain contact with the people around me. I am perceived as pre-occupied and rude.
I drift from them to take the the same thread of conversation that we had hours or days earlier.
It has been beastly hot here, up to 108.
How I once loved the sun and heat...it was life to me. A way to feel life. I could not stand the indoors.
Soon I will regain contact with someone whose thread I abandoned a long, long time ago.....me.
I would like to shoot through the layers of time like an armor-piercing shell, and emerge on the other side of a continuum of what I guess is bookmarking of some sort.
There I would find the me that has been locked away and is emerging. I have been convicted of the absolute necessity of getting away from the ancestor worship that permeated the dying embers of my family.
I often walk or drive in my dreams--it is an odd sleep that is not really sleep, but is. Perhaps I will get there one day soon.
Do I prefer care and anxiety to careless apathy? No......

There is a thread at the top of the open forum where members often write to say they are going into chat. I suggest you do the same, that way if members who use chat are online, they can see that somebody is in there.

Re: still going on
Hello,
Thanks Gizmo for the info.
Truth Teller, I was in the Seattle area for nearly two weeks. I have been there many times before, but it was cold and I was busy.
It was clear and everything was blooming. We were stunned by the beauty and also the peace that assailed us. I did something very out of synch for me and slept for two days off and on when we arrived. We stood at a waterfall and nearly cried at the beauty. I am very moisture, color, and light senstive.
We went to the ocean and were swathed in mist for an hour. Although we were in Washington, I knew Oregon must be similar--no wonder you love it so.
I am still trying to put the trip into perspective.
Next time, whales.....

Re: still going on
Amazed at images and memories--mostly a benign collage these days. I am specifically remembering books I read and movies I watched as a boy that were not positive influences. Besides this, there are images of events, some frozen, some in motion, knowing how they impacted me, what I believed about it, and how deeply I tucked it away.
I have often wondered if what I call sleep really is. I know when I am deep asleep, but other times I am traveling or fighting--it is an inbetween place of awareness.
I suspect more, but don't dig. If it comes, it comes, but uncoaxed by me.
I am truly in awe I was not institutionalized as a child....I was so messed up. On the plus side of not having been, I would have remembered sooner. It would have been death.
"There is nothing you can't do if you apply yourself....you are not performing according to your potential"---I wonder how many times that was spoken to me?
No body understood that I just went away. A quiet place.

Re: still going on
I had an odd experience in a public place recently. It was a pleasant setting--music. I was in the middle of it.
I was with old friends, some of whom I had not seen for a long time.
It was a very happy time for me.
Out of nowhere I, began to weep for my parents. It was not mourning, but I realized how much I miss them and love them.
They were such tragic, noble, broken, driven people.
I dare to love them--it does not make me feel week or stupid.
They are gone, their last deeds done.
No one but me knew what was happening--I was in the middle of music: I helped make more.
A lot of quilt left me.
I am not afraid to love.

VAC,
Changed the trigger warning to No trigger because your words are heart felt not likely to trigger.
It is always good to hear your clear honest voice,

Thank you. I need a clear, honest voice in several arenas right now.

Re: still going on
Never, never, never give up. Those who have suffered carry the potential of a great gift---it has tapped into something most others never activate. We feel the burdens of others and are empaths on some level. Don't be afraid. Heal so that you can become a healer. I do not fear the pain any longer.
This is one of the most wonderful posts I have read and should give us all hope!!
