I’m just feeling good these days. For me, some of the most exhilarating life experiences are learning, creating, and healing – healing either the self or someone else. And more and more, it seems like I’m engaged in at least one of those tasks most of the time.
In particular I’ve found there’s a lot I need to learn before I can create and heal the way I intend, and so I’ve spent progressively more time during my day in that process. Many days I will read or watch something related to massage or practice management; practice guitar, violin, and flute; work with some self-improvement book or books; and go over vocabulary words in Hawaiian, learn new signs in ASL (American Sign Language). I don’t do a lot of each of these, since I am in fact working on my business and looking for work opportunities every day too, but I do make little bits of progress each day.
It’s exciting living with a mind that changes and develops a little each day. I feel better prepared to deal with things; I feel more interested in the details of everything…you know, I made a decision very early on in life not to take recreational drugs, and I’m all the more glad now that I never did it because what I’m experiencing right now seems to meet or exceed the most positive descriptions I’ve ever heard of that sort of experience…and I can still drive just fine and I don’t feel like eating an entire box of Twinkies afterward. When I can actually grant myself the time to sit down and do some songwriting I bet it’ll be a trip!
