I am currently weaning off my "Media Fast." I have no clear and simple words to describe a "Media Fast." The vernacular of my "Media Fasting" is borrowed from "Food Fasting" and/or "Detox ?Fasting?" In my confuddled brain, I am substituting "spiritual nutrition" for "physical nutrition." I am far from fluent in either dialect, so. . . My translations do get messy. Lost in literals again? Give me words for it, please.
In the course of my own linguistic studies/employment (including "Machine Translation"), I have found translating between empirical languages (English, German, Spanish, etc.) to be far easier than translating between avocations (engineer, assembler, marketer, secretary, etc.). Some of you might have noticed a few of the snots in those nots when you have played with the translation apps popping up all over the www these days. "Cock" has a different English language meaning in quite a few disciplines, including the ballistics and Junior High Sex Education disciplines.
Some of you know that my watershed research, wild plant studies and gardening/composting techniques were academically developed in psychotherapy sessions far more than science classrooms. Remember, I am a child sex trafficking/amnesia survivor. My psychotherapy needs have been and remain intense. Most of my vernacular for these passions was developed under the guidance of professionals who do not know where to find a garden rake's "On Switch." Girl, howdy, my explanations of what my rake is doing get psycho-babbly in a hurry. "Just channel your emotions from pile A into pile B while you let the memory block come down and your mud pies will be as purty as mine. http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Post-Traumatic_Stress_Disorder/forum/19521559-stuck-mud . Even my most beloved fellow conservationists spend allot of time wondering what I just said. Me too.
The family cycle which was in motion when I started my media fast has been going some unexpected places. The garden and compost piles are among the places the cycle has been going. There is far more his/herstory there than I care to type just now, but the ?simplicity? I think I am currently working on is how to translate my "garden therapy" into Tech-exec (hubs) and landscaping pro (eldest son,36).
Creative opines and gentle reality checks welcome.

as you continue to navigate your way through all the underbrush,please
know you are not alone.
we are here for you.
You have been on my mind as I hear of the flooding and it is good to catch your post in between my own self imposed exposure therapy.
Be gentle with you and let those adorable boys be their own stewards.
It maybe just me and my own love of dirt therapy bust the compost to garden activity sounds good right now.
