Argh, time was crunch away while I crunched klezmer on my fiddle. Perlman and some wonderful players, open-mindedness, lovingkindness w/ society being expressed by sounds, the avenue, klezmer. This might turn you on, might seem foreign while klezmer cures your xenophobia, music, the shrink. I earlier in the night felt gentle anger, angst more romantically, and by running through repertoire of folk American-style to klezmer Israel-style anywhere spores have blown, id est, diaspora, the dispersion I found myself well-grounded, humus, humble, earthy. Once again, my touchstones triggered me to happiness. While suffering w/ a handful of maladies, mostly minor I left it behind and began the focus. Try this at home; breathe in, hold at the"top of the breath," breathe out, even more than the intake, hold, breathe in, repeat. This is transcendetal meditation, 2x/day, twenty minutes each session, TM w/out the Maharaji renaming your "chi" personalised name. It works nontheless. Then what? It gives you the inch to take the Gale Sayers mile, a chance to score. What to do? Write. If not now, when?
Keep, really keep an open-mind. In high school, I dreamed of doing what I wanted and make a living. No conflicts, pay the bills, own your own time some, and feed the good wolf, starve the bad wolf, say. The one that comes around will be the good wolf. Wondering if one should write now? Uh-huh. You got your education. Now what are you going to do w/ it? Ask this every day. Take what you want; leave the rest. This week the counseling center where I have been on the board about half a dozen years had an commitee (CARF) to renew our accreditation. Three from our board were interviewed, me included. At the board office table I easily got three context-dense pages. I have learned abbreviation, an odd selection of short-hand, mostly "Hebrew short-hand." (Leave out the vowels, consonants only if possible to retain the meaning. You can get the swing of it. ) Plan to write a while, growing. It is amazing when focusing something over a healthy amount of time. I got to a point in time to say , "Get out the paper and write?" and follow up. I did, and the interviewer noted it a while later, looked at the "yield" while I was pacing myself to write a full- blown text. I was "writing to learn." As well one can learn to "do writing." It is a tool. It can be an asset, an albatross, and a demon. A little change can be a big difference. It is a tool, no doubt, tended to kept sharp, like a wood plane so it can function at its best. Remember writing helps detail organically grow images, illustration, description, awareness. Awareness equals sanity.
For now, time to stop talking and do. Any questions, topics, let me know on the contact page/this website. Have fun learning, finding payoffs, immeasurable growth. Polish verbal skills, nurture your writing skills. Be lenient w/ yourself. Go slow to learn. Stay healthy, balanced, growing, gaining, more and more able, well-capable to give to others. Like the Hanukkah candle, the servile candle lights the others, and remains lit. Like your wisdom and knowledge, give to others and you remain w/ your knowledge and wisdom as well. Give it away to keep it. If you need any consultation on KDP electronic publishing, let me know! I can help for the most part, the lion's share.
