Sebene I love your writing, I can hear your voice in every line. There was one in particular that struck me, "I don’t want to habituate my mind/heart/body to dysregulation." That spoke a truth I'm grappling with, so thank you for giving it better words than I have.

And I coffee-spat laughing at what you said about those keeners with unbroken stretches of commitment: "The technical term for that kind of person is β€œannoying.” Ha, right?

I woke up today to a huge, golden moon hanging over the Kennebecasis River in the deep blue fall morning light. Within minutes it had slid behind the rock face. Magic.

I'm comforted to know that lots of people are experiencing (non-election, non-climate disaster related) chaos in their personal energy fields. My friend tells me that all her Tarot clients are reporting flyapart-ness similar to mine. I inadvertantly practiced pattern blocking this week, as I was carefully aware of medicating all week with sugar. I gotta say, it's been heaven. Pumpkin pie/ whipped cream. Moose tracks ice cream which I enhanced with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and peanuts. (peanuts to honor the ancestors) I had a few grapes just to keep it healthy. Stomach ache aside, it was wonderful to pig out obscenely. and now that I've eaten all of it, I'm satisfied. I'll now return to my regularly scheduled programming. (Whoever said a sugar high doesn't cure what ails you hasn't eaten enough.) (Burp)

This so resonated with me: β€œIt’s taken me years to learn to spot my unhelpful patterns and choose better options. Except, sometimes I don’t.

Yep, Yes, Totally, Yes. Meditation along with mindfulness, and the daily gratitude of nature, have certainly helped with this, but yeah, the sometimes I don’t is the habitual self sabotaging of doing the stuff that I know helps me feel more connected with myself, grounded. At home. Wow. Being a human is like my childhood bedroom when I was five. A jumbly tangled mess with some kind of weird smell. Thanks as always for this space and your prompting us to ruminate and breathe. Love and dirty socks.
