need to write about this
I am starting to believe the Oger inside.
I've been trying to take nourishment from the idea
that our life's work is fulfilling and the saving fulfillment
in the sea of individuals and missed connections
and keeping on top of the
responsibilities in our lives is important too.
I don't know why but when I feel I present myself
to the world outside of that - and to the relationships
around me - I am hearing a negativity and a rejection
for all that I am and I KNOW I CAN'T LISTEN TO THAT!
Just writing it out is helping me correction my navigational
coordinates and I'm getting back to sailing on my own path and way.
I think I should bring this up with my doctor and get her reflections
as well. In addition to your guys' thoughts would be so much appreciated!
Sending peace!!
Mark

Not listening to my own inner critics is harder than ignoring political riots in my bed. The harder I ignore them, the more often I get kicked in the ribs. When I carry those inner critics out into public, it's often hard to hear or even see the person I am actually speaking to.
This be another spot where radical acceptance helps me manage the psycho tick. When I radically accept that my inner critics are yapping --AGAIN-- and at least get them out of my bed and reduce their political riots to irritating neighborhood noise. If only I could call the cops on those particular neighbors. . . The cops think I'm crazy enough, already.
Without knowing the specifics of what you’re describing, it’s hard to interpret what is your own assumption of a situation versus the reality of it.
I have a feeling our lives are very different as far as the relationships that surround…. some of it geographical traits among other things like quality over quantity, but I personally know I feel clear consciously when I can instinctively identify sincerity … and focus my navigational efforts on solely that - and not what all the other buzzing noise around me opines. Is that confusing? The world is confusing sometimes, so I just try to break it up into simple components as much as I can…..
Go easy on yourself. It’s Sunday and it’s a day to rest……Hugs.
thanks guys! I'm going out for a drive! and I might as well get a second Starbucks! lol
Your ogre reference gave me a hankering to spend some time with my favorite ogre, Shrek. Thought you might enjoy this little clip where Fiona, the princess, reveals her ogre side.
