Don't be deceived by the fact that it's about acting, it taught me more about power than anything else I've read.<br /><br />IanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686983280645481272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-64788142282314133142015-06-25T01:38:55.083-07:002015-06-25T01:38:55.083-07:00Hmmm... so are you a worrier or a warrior?
I need...Hmmm... so are you a worrier or a warrior?<br /><br />I need a t-shirt that says this: "It's all just adrenaline, until you name it." Seems like a good slogan to have embossed over the judge in court rooms. Or perhaps in birthing centers. <br /><br />I know I have the same gift/problem. But I don't think it can be separated from daily rituals. There are things that keep me sane and things that keep me insane. As if there is a potential for things to go toward totally undifferentiated chaos in moments of absolute stillness. "Beautiful music and delicious food, cause the traveler to stop.

Every step I've ever taken to slow down and avoid the maelstrom has been the wrong one. The trick is in making sure that the crisis of one's own making is at least worth the wear and tear - that it helps someone or advances a worthy cause or, at minimum, makes for a good ride. Here's to fear, and challenge, struggle, risk. If it's the kind that doesn't involve losing a knee, that's cool, too. <br /><br />As for power dynamics, I'm a bit of a living laboratory on that one. I look forward to hearing where you land with it.

You might check it out if you haven't already.<br /><br />I've put your Infighting video on my list of things to check out. Is it only available on DVD? I'm sure we still have that technology around the house somewhere, but I hate collecting things in meatspace that aren't books and would rather just pay for a download. Also, more money to you and cut out the middleman.annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-31312796320006089652015-06-19T17:13:37.831-07:002015-06-19T17:13:37.831-07:00Good to hear!

If so, like all introverts, you do have to have "Recharge Time." I don't know with your schedule if you get that or not but for me recharge means going solitary, i.e., like the "Fortress of Solitude" where you get away from other humans completely for a while. If you are not feeding the introversion in you then burn out could arrive a lot faster but I am not sure about that with you since I don't really know you outside your books and blogs, etc. Just mentioning it although as smart as you are I suspect you already know that anyway.Charles Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812618556413423872noreply@blogger.com
