Easier This Way

In the last three weeks I have been without DSL at home and without my beloved Elph.  Oddly, both were returned to working order yesterday, HURRAH!

I'm sitting in a tower with work still in front of me, procrastinating not from my duties but from going home (who does that?)  Though I could opt to head out and finally share some of my beloved images with you all, I am more inspired to work in words tonight.

I am at a crux of change.  My absence from buzznet has been coincidently timed with my retraction from my "scene".  Yesterday I wrote an email explaining to my close social circle where I've disappeared to and why.  It only just occurred to me that buzznet community and personal community are parallel; I have dropped out of both almost entirely.

In this moment, while I am looking out of this high rise window on the world I admit that I don't know where I'm going.  What I do know is that this life I have been building for the last nine years is going to change.  Though I am tempted to cling to it out of nostalgia and a dash of fear, I realize that I am already on another path; my task now is to create the vision for what is in front of me.

I always think of Joseph Campbell and specifically the destruction before creation aspect. Never cling to the past out of fear or nostalgia. That is stagnation. Evolve freely... and, as my current life thrust has been centered around theme-wise, Rise like a phoenix...

I wish you the best...

Hey Madelyn, I don't know much about your circumstances but from what I've seen on Buzznet, you're good people, and I'm sure good things are ahead for you. Good luck on this new path!
