OK. It's really late, and I leave for Peru tomorrow. I've been running around all week in a spasm of productivity, finishing this website just right now, not that this was really a huge priority in the grand scheme of things I suppose.
I find that when I was unemployed it was much easier to make a great, original website that I was happy with. Now all I have time for is to change a few colors...and I had trouble getting that to work.
So I am off I guess....I hope to achieve...actually, no. I hope I achieve nothing on this trip.
I hope to spend some time just existing, with no particular goal. That is a tall order. Achievement becomes a habit, one that is fairly well rewarded and hard to break.
It is also one that slowly robs me of a sense of self.
I need an occasional reminder that my life is not measured by how much I achieve. It is measured by how much I feel...how close I am to being connected...how much I am able to draw on my passion at that uncertain moment...how much I can give and still have more.
