grim23(1) I slept in my new house last night. Other than a few remaining hassles at escrow, I own it. It hasn't named itself yet, but I'm leaning toward the Fortress of Solitude. Moving happens over the next few weeks. Soon, a deck and a hot tub installation. Then, a four- to eight-bay shop.
(2) This weekend, I rode all day with the BF on her own bike and then the next day I rode two-up with a Warrior. Good mental health stuff. Sunburn, bugs in teeth, but I ended up with a cleaner bike than when I started. I even got a visit from JIC. Three weeks? Time to get out on the road, going South. Time for my yearly Oath, and to be purified by the Road. Stand by for dates.
(3) I may have the honor of seeing a bit more of the beautiful Tamarta, and some of my CA friends may get to meet her, including TempleofGod and the MajorDomo, and possibly the wise Ms. Pinkk. My resolve with her remains high, but I have patience right now, as she decides her path.
(4) Clients? Many on my caseload are struggling, but I think they're going to make it. Much trauma and relationship issues going on. Sometimes I get very angry about what one human being will do to another. That's when breathing and karatedo become even more important. I guide, I learn, I forget, I teach. I am humbled regularly by those whose honor grows as they learn, and I am grateful I get to help them, and in doing so, learn honor. Many royals could learn much from these Samurai.
(5) Finally, I am beginning to end the Chaos Cycle. Letters have been exchanged, schedules are clearing, and ritual this Thursday with the Priestess should remove the residual Chaos. Ra the Sun God rises up through me. Then, Internship and Dissertation.

Date: 2005-08-04 07:10 pm (UTC)Talking with you brought to the forefront this quote from Shakespeare in Love that I love to tell everyone, but perhaps need to listen to closer myself. I think the Chaos Cycle was a lesson served well by this quote:
Philip Henslowe: The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.
