Slipping into something more comfortable

Published

no referrer Ahh. To come home from a day dressed in gray and brown tailored discretion, bow-tied determination and tight decision making shoes–It’s so nice to slip out of those disguises and don something a little more comfortable.

I strip down to my naked, soft heart, unbutton my presumptions, throw my judgments in the dirty laundry and shower away layers of discrepancies. My favorite part is soaking in a nice warm bath of gratitude and forgiveness. There’s nothing quite like it to soothe the tired soul.

You must work in advertising! Regardless, work is work, and it must be done. Nice post, if i read it right, about the dirty of working, when it’s not towards your passion: writing. Beautiful!

THG- you’re a night owl. (like me) Well, I’m in public arts advertising: I’m a musician! Even we performers need to shed our “costumes” and just be our silly human selves.

What comment do i leave here?

Right now, i feel in “ASCII” and my words are in “BINARY” form…two different languages.

I wish i had a mechanism to directly download my feelings and automatically transalate them into words. It would be so much more effective and real.

I will still try:

I loved to see you strip like that. It aroused me and really turned me on.

Anu- I have a feeling you spake other languages as well. I think you did a pretty good job of downloading your feelings in this comment, and on your blog! So, you like my pink, fluffy slippers?

I really like that black boot. I must find a pair just like it. And wow, is coming home really like that for you? It’s not for me. At home I have to be the uptight, boot-bound decision maker. Maybe they’ll let me wear slippers at work…

Betty- no it’s not usually like that, but I have decided it needs to be. I keep my armor on too much at home.

Those are from Bradisms. Brad regularly expounds on various subjects ranging from politics to trust to caring to love, all with an inimitable style which can only be described as “pithy”, meaning tersely cogent. He also has a webpage featuring a collection of his best work, also worth visiting. Brad recently commented on my post Truth and Being, where I attempt to summarize large patterns in life, and which I almost deleted because of its intractable pithiness. But Brad seemed to understand my obscure logic. Then I found this post, “Life is…” on his website, and realized I think a lot like him. Yet he allows himself much more freedom in the realm of pithiness than I! Thanks Brad, for showing us how playfully rich truth can be.

David Depape has a blog he cleverly calls “God is Love“. I’m sure he intends those words’ various echoes of meaning, from completely ironic to absolutely and literally true.

His voice is as subtle and complex as the title. He is neither religious nor atheist. The hypocrisies of organized religion get no mercy from him, but nor do rabid atheists. Somehow he finds inspiration in the ambiguous truth of neither/nor.

Take his post, The Religion of Science.

Religion is a form of stagnant science. Christianity is based on science. The priests were the scholars and scientists or their day. They observed the world and came up with a theory of existence based upon what they could observe. They didn’t know about atoms, cells and the quantum level. They came up with the best theory they could with what little they knew. Religion is science that got stuck on proving old theories. Now atheism is doing the same. Atheism is stuck on proving a point and it’s clinging to theories that are becoming antiquated in the face of new discoveries.
Instead of admitting what we know and admitting what we don’t know and moving forward from there.

I think you’ll find his views as refreshing as I did.

I enjoy finding blogs (sort of) similar to mine. It’s taken me awhile to find my niche; a peculiar blend of personal experience, spiritual advice, philosophical explorations, poetry, gardening, food and general inspiration. Yesterday someone named Titus-Armand commented on my site, so I checked out his blog, Project Armannd. I was pleasantly surprised to fine a quality blog, one which isn’t prepackaged to a particular audience as so many are these days. He explores a variety of subjects toward living a better life; “about today’s society, issues of today’s world, tips on self-improvement, spiritual advices, inner peace, general psychology, happiness, and some other things…” The topics he chooses are intriguing and unique, like the psychological meaning of certain eye movements. But he doesn’t just report. He interprets. I like that. Welcome Titus-Armand (TA?). I like your style.
