So for the past two weeks or so, I haven’t had a new post. Truth is, I have one post half finished up on my computer screen right now, but I’m just too worn out from work to complete it… I’ve been working quite a bit of over-time; this is the start of the busy season for my company. Despite having sworn off coffee and other caffeinated beverages a few weeks ago, I’m now gargling with the stuff to stay on top of my game. I doubt this is going to change much over the next few months - it won’t be until mid-January that everything settles down at work.
I’ve been thinking a lot about politics recently, and nothing would please me more than to find the time to write a political article. After witnessing Obama’s official nomination as the Democratic Nominee for President, I felt genuine hope and excitement for the future of this country. Since seeing the disgrace of the RNC - both the speeches within and the protests outside - I’ve also never been more fearful. I don’t want to know what four more years like the last eight will do to this country. All the polls show the race as being too close for comfort - it seriously shakes my faith in humanity that so many people think that they would be better off under McCain.
I’ve also been thinking quite a bit about sex, and it’s place within the folds of spirituality. I haven’t written about sexuality on this website, and I think I may never… I personally have too many hang-ups and issues regarding sex to be comfortable discussing it in an honest manner. At the same time, my personal struggles with that particular subject have brought me to new spiritual insights about myself. This is a potential place of growth for me, but it is also too close for me to discuss in detail.
Finally, I’ve been crazy-obsessed with the idea of getting a new tattoo. Next year, I’ll be thirty - and while it is still over nine months away, I would like to celebrate it with a new ink. The only problem is that I have so many ideas of what to get, that I cannot decide… Should I get the image of a pregnant goddess tattooed on the outside of my thigh? Perhaps I should get a half-sleeve done of the Tree of Life, in Celtic-knot style… I’ve also been thinking of getting some Hebrew lettering. I keep changing my mind! I have nine months to decide, anyway.
So, anyway, that is what has been happening with me. I hope to find more time to write over the next few weeks, but if I don’t, at least now you know why. As always, Namaste…
