Beginnings and Vision
This blog is a place for me to share how I work with my experience. It's also a place for you to read about it, and, if so moved, to comment on it.
I read 'manifest spontaneity' in two ways.
As a description of a state of being it may seem redundant, but I seem to need the reminder.
As a command, I find it challenging but not so susceptible of the aggression that I tend to bring along whenever I come across some new phrase by which to live my life.
Even as I write this I am trying to practice manifesting spontaneity. I tend to self-censor to the point of silence (or at least aloofness). Recently (call it 2014-2015), I've been working with expressing myself more often in speech without fixating on how what I say will be perceived. I've definitely grown in that direction over the past year, especially with my more intimate relationships.
But Writing. Writing seems to crank up the internal censor to 11. And I need to write. Maybe not a lot, but certainly more. I'm in the beginning of writing my dissertation. Who knows whether the kind of writing that I practice doing here will bleed over into the academic writing that I do. I've got an empiricist streak half a mile wide though, so I'm going to give it a shot rather than reason it out.
I've found great encouragement whenever I come across someone's blog whose experience I resonate with. If there is the smidgeon of a shadow of a hair of a possibility that my blog could do that for someone else, that's enough for me to share my ups, downs, corkscrews and curveballs.
