Hmmm. Looking back on this blog makes me realize that I am in a recurrent cycle of overdoing, getting hurt or sidetracked for some reason, and then having to find a way to get back in shape. Maybe I should pay more attention to these cycles?
Nahhhhhhhhhh . . . .
Just kidding. Of course I should. I plan, however, to consolidate blogs so as to have one place to write about not me as the focus but life as the focus, with me as one of the wretched pawns . . . . Let's try that again: with me as one of the active agents in charge of her own destiny and whose work might also help to change life around me . . . . I had written in the first draft of this post--with me as active agent working against the forces that might otherwise change us and our planet for the worse. In other words, it's the three R's: Resistance, Refusal, and Re-creation--but that "working against" doesn't seem as useful as working for something else. How does one resist without getting hardened? How can one achieve a counter agenda by positive thinking and action?
Here's to 2018 and a new year in which to make a difference.
