Quote of the Day & Various Extranea

[Guest guest]

" Dreams may be temporary flights into madness that, by some law

of neurophysiology unclear to us, keep us from actual madness. "

Joyce Carol Oates

 

I've been " out of pocket " lately, writhing in my writing and

contemplating the minutiae of the moment. Keep up the excellent

dialogue, I can see that you are handling things on your own and

do not need me... as I sit back and muse on a post it seems that

someone emerges with a comment very like what I would have said

myself, and I am content with that. I am enjoying being a lurker

and listener. You are all very wise.

 

Mani and I were discussing relationships this weekend, having

looked at a website for Couples Retreats and such, and laughingly

wondered if it was truly possible to teach anyone how to have a

good relationship; if you have one, you often don't know how you

got it, and if you don't have one, you're not much of an example

;-) If I had one bit of advice for anyone, it would be to say " Be

a Giver. Find a Giver. Make a Home by Loving and Giving. "

 

I think as a generation people have forgotten how to compromise,

imagining that it is a weakness, when in a relationship it is the

flexibility that keeps storms from blowing the structure away.

 

The best quote I gleaned this weekend from a fellow poet's work

in one of the critique boards is something to consider...

 

" Giving up... makes me angry... Letting go... requires tremendous

courage. What's the difference? One is about capture; the other

is about release. " Teresa Middleton
