grim23I have been fairly ill; I have had some serious coughing and congestion and fever. I will, however, continue. My clients seem to be holding together, and crisis calls have been less, even though I’m covering for another therapist as well as my own clients. I have not been able to train in the dojo, although I’m headed back today. I apparently need to learn what it’s like to not be able to breathe before I start formally learning Tantra. My training needs to accelerate, as I am being pressured to teach a child, and very soon.
My teaching? I have been working hard with a Student, new to some of my thoughts and philosophies, who is very anxious about learning, and is experiencing much self-doubt about her abilities, and stuck in Old Ways. I have been advising her to breathe and learn, and now to trust. The Universe, realizing I am finishing with one, has assigned me another to teach, and in doing so, learning and relearning my own lessons. I learn, forget, and teach. She is under my protection, and I have had to take steps to protect her. I may have to protect her from herself.
My class at Willamette seems to be coming to a close successfully. They still have their final research or community project, and they still have to clinically interview a biker who looks suspiciously like me and write a well-justified clinical report. I, on the other hand, have a major chunk of my dissertation ready for revisions. Lit Review, Methods, and Results are headed for my advisor, hopefully this week. I’m ready to earn my sword.
The Fortress of Solitude is functional and protected, although I have been spending a lot of time away from the Fortress. The Throne has arrived, as well as the new stereo. The garage, art, shower doors, curtains, and the guest bedroom are all projects for this winter. Why am I not there? Because I have been spending time with the Student, the Queen, the BF, and the King’s Protectors, and my Little Girl, who seems to be doing better. I was honored to meet her family for Thanksgiving, and I learned quite about her and her ways. I also touched base with my own family in Texas. I hope to increase my commitment to her and from her by Yule.
For my Student, and for Myself:
Responsibility by definition means answerable or accountable for. And a person is accountable for everything he thinks, says, or does. -- Sidney Madwed
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. -- Helen Keller
The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them. -- Ernest Hemingway
