Stillness or Y’know. Not.
June 2, 2009
-Bellow, Saul

Today, for various reasons (including, but not limited to: lack of sleep, rain, cold weather, and greasy hair), I am choosing to remain holed up here in my hermitage. Except it’s not a hermitage because it includes a certain 18-month-old and a certain 4-year-old. And hermits live alone.
Sigh. To be alone.
So, I am we are here at home today, fulfilling that stay-at-home stereotype. Except we haven’t actually been home the entire time. And we’ve only actually been inside for an hour and a half. And…
Do you know what? I’m just going to stop now, since it appears I cannot manage a coherent thought without contradicting it. I really meant to post something about stillness, inner peace, creative reception. I was going to tell you about the moments of quiet connection that my children and I have shared, and about the inspiration I have passively obtained.
But all I’ve done is introduced you to my split personality disorder. Which is fun, too.

nina: I give split personalities a thumbs up. way up.
Anonymous: I drive a minivan so that I can take all of my children and my personalities with me when WE travel. I do hate to be alone.....
Maestro: Loneliness is as awesome as it sounds. :)

Whytelife: your dad rox, I love his comments
