Sensible

 This morning is bringing fruitful thoughts! I was feeling high flying and healthy and quite proud early on. Then


I was listening to service and struggling to submit.. I thought about my austerity of pragmatism that I have in my life and how pride and vanity (healthy doses of them) elude me and yet then thought how I was happy before submitting. I know I need to consider some pragmatics. And so I thought it’s important to balance in life the pragmatic and the pleasures. Everyone has a mix of the two.


I thought about how some religion espouses self responsibility and as I listened to the service I heard how this aspect of life was being considered …this duality 


I just feel really grounded and sensible.


Like there’s some middle ground for any decision.

I can get so lost in my need need need - that sitting still will make me feel even still like it's an endless thing.
With the above thought - I am questioning it - and making a more informed decision. :)

This is written after sending the above. I very much feel woeful and weak. When alone or dealing with myself I can seem to get to a place of understanding only to come tumbling down again. I start working in 1.5 hours. I’ve gotta pump myself and be responsible. Life can feel futile but it’s awesomely wonderful

"austerity of pragmatism"
hm-m-m-m-m. . .
i find myself even more shocked than i was the first time i considered the combination of peanut butter and bananas. does that mean you could be more pragmatic or that you are a stiff-assed sourpuss about being pragmatic? i think blue might be the man to ask about that one.

i'll second the notion of life being awesomely wonderful, even when it feels frustratingly futile.
