Enthusiasm:
Can't seem to find any. Feeling like a two-dimensional being in a 3D world, just can't find any Dimensionality. no depth. Talked about it this morning in energy class and what I got was that I've been spinning my wheels to stay in one place and maybe I should just Stop Trying, stop Looking-for activity,for understanding,clarity,money,sex,results. And of coure I KNOW this from about the eyebrows,up, but how many times in our lives do we get told the same thing over & over until one day we actually Hear it.
And suddenly I come home from the dojo and don't feel the need to run away from my trailer for the rest of the day, which is generally the plan for weekends, just Be in your Home for the afternoon, and suddenly the Goddess of Cleaning comes to visit and I cancel an afternoon with a new photographer who wants to trade me pix for exchange in me assisting her photograph her boyfriend in drag and could be a fun gig and potentially lucrative because I want to stay home and clean my house.
Hmmmmmmm.
Funny, I've been home for 3 1/2 hours and haven't gotten bored!
I learned the etymology of the word"enthusiasm" today:Full of God. En Theos. having a god within, Inspired.
I was inspired to clean by the goddess within. How incredibly hokey !
I was gonna write about how not enthusiastic I am feeling about Faire opening in three weeks (www.forestfaire.com) but I think what I actually wrote is ever so much more positive!
