So this weekend was really exciting-in a completely internal way.<\/p>\n
The prior week was great; I’ve got some things going on a work that are keeping me very sharp. It’s cool, I love a challenge, and it kind of spills over.<\/p>\n
And then I got in this discussion…It was the start of a very long discussion with a pup here…I shouldn’t have, because it was about religion and we didn’t agree. And he trips my triggers, because he is so much like a lot of people I used to know.<\/p>\n
But it was a very hieghtening conversation…About the meaning of meaning, as held by words and the laws of God and man. AND because I couldn’t finish it, it left me all restless and feeling like I should pace and talk to myself.<\/p>\n
So then the next day, I saw Spiderman 2. A very cool movie. Also left me thinking about a lot of things. I really appreciate the heroic ideals that superheroes and comics show…<\/p>\n
Which leads up to the NEXT day, sunday, where I got to actually meet and talk to one of the writers for Superman comic books. wow.<\/p>\n
he had written this graphic novel “It’s a Bird…” about the problems with superman. The character in the book was semi-autobiographical. He was trying to deal with what it meant to be superman, and why anyone should care.<\/p>\n
And we all went on about creativity and humanness and writing and MORE stuff that practically made me want to jump out of my skin with excitement.<\/p>\n
There is so much to think about and do!<\/p>\n
And I AM doing things. I am working hard, every day, on this book that I want to finish. I have a long way to finishing. hmmm….it just takes time.<\/p>\n
One of the things about my heightening discussion…The meaning of meaning…It is hard to talk about it…I know what I know now. I don’t have to talk about it anymore. I can, and it is exciting to talk about it, but because I know what I know is true, I don’t require validation. I don’t HAVE to talk about it.<\/p>\n
And on that same note, I know that what I am writing [my book] is worthwhile. I don’t require validaton. But the getting it out there, doing it justice, is tough. It takes some perseverance.<\/p>\n
Which is to say…Pacing and restlessness are fine, but I’m in this for the long haul. I have to be careful not to burn myself out…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
