On Relationships: Loving Another (Romantic)
It has been a while, and instead of taking the time to apologize, suffice it to say that I now have time to continue to expound upon these questions and the drive to do so – all the result of a shattered heart (and not necessarily my own). That being the impetus, and in response to a question long ago, it’s time to expound upon the theme: love.
This is not going to be a list of quotes, a...

Thank you...
….for answering my questions. You make the two sides feel more like a interweaving dance than a conflicting fight. You talked about the discovery of self with external and internal development, but how can you apply that concept to something more… a relationship. To use your analogy, what if Heisenberg wasn’t measuring an electron, but the strength, flexibility and resistance...
On this Blog: Housekeeping Matters
I’ve “enabled answers” - whatever that means. But I think that means at least you should feel free to post responses or things that might be relevant to the blogs themes.
Also, if you have any recommendations as to how to organize things better here, let me know.
Re: Is it always a choice?
Hm, it’s a strange sense not knowing to whom I am responding since I don’t recognize the e-mail fo the poster. But, actually, I welcome that now - it prevents writing for a specific person or applying any spin other than my own perspective. But now to the response. (By the way, comments like these are really greatly appreciated! Not only do they induce me to continue to write, but...

Is it always a choice?
What hurt me so much with the Black Swan, was that to become great, she had to sacrifice, as you said it, her sense of reality. Why do the two have to live on such opposite planes? Does being true to yourself always mean conflicting with the rest of the world? In the Wizard of Oz, only after their long journey of yearning, the foursome realized they had inside of them what they were looking for...
On Relationships: Perspectives of Self
“The only thing keeping you from being great is yourself.” -Black Swan.
It’s strange that I should return to the blog with such a different perspective than than with which I started writing. But I’m back, a new year, new resolutions. The primary of those resolutions is working to be truest to myself, by abandoning myself to pure self without context or judgment or any...

Silence as time
You talk about silence as a tangible, but what if silence is another way to recognize time? When I think of silence, I think of reflection, a moment to take a step back from a situation to observe, or, in the case of a heated negotiation, how long the pause will last until the desired action is taken. In the same way a hunter must know how long to crouch in silence before a kill, an actor pauses...
Comment -- Roaring Silence
hm. So much thought in a single post. So “die” in the quote from Eliot — I believe it implies an inherent handicap in the human condition; That we [must] ignore the roar or rather, we cannot hear the roar because it is beyond our capacity to perceive. In hearing it, in perceiving something we inherently cannot, we would in a sense, die, and become something else. Something...

…and so it begins.
At the behest of numerous friends and colleagues, and in order to provide an outlet for musings or information that I feel might benefit the reader, I’ve decided to start this blog. Due to personal preference, I will not use any real names in any of these posts, nor will I use my own real name - though undoubtedly those of you who have access to this blog will...
