I feel quiet today. Still. There's a lot of stuff I've been turning over in my head, especially yesterday, and I talked to Arlekin to get it all out. You know, he's probably one of the only people I've almost never had a bad conversation with. He's wise beyond his years, and he helps me to slow down and take a look at something from another perspective. I have this tendency, especially with deeply personal problems, to keep banging my head against the wall until I break it down. I swear to God, I have Taurus in my blood somewhere. ;)
Upsurge in writing this week, mainly spurred by finishing this book called The Consolations of Philosophy. It uses the lives and philosophies from folks as varied as Socrates and Epicurus to Schopenhauer (a wonderfully silly man) and Neitzche(sp?) to look at common problems from a philosophical point of view. I found it tremendously helpful, despite the fact that he stole the name of his book from someone else.
I can't get songs from this CD Lazarus gave me out of my head for some reason. I've been thinking an awful lot about friends lately, and I wish I could do something to let every single one of them know how appreciated they are, on a personal level. I could *say* it, but that doesn't *prove* it. I think I will anyway: Lazarus, Eliahn, Duncan, Fuchs, Tyrnn, Arlekin, Ryngs, Reah, Kitfox, Delphinios...thank you so much. You've helped me more than you can know. :)
People always seem to have more difficulties than usual this time of year. Whether it's just traditional holiday funk or some catastrophic tragedy that's befallen them. I wish I could help folks that need it badly. Ka Crow, Devon Fox, Torrle, my thoughts are with you and if there's anything I can do let me know.
This is turning out to be rather mushy. :)
There's a lot more I want to say, but I don't know how to say it and I'm needed up front.
