so, yeah...
I have a serious inferiority complex. And this place exuding with talent and brain, isn’t helping. It wouldn’t be so bad, had I not tried my hand at posting. I’m much more of a bystander, someone who appreciates but does not participate. But you can only absorb so much before you have to throw yourself in the mix and thereby really gain something.
Sometimes it bothers me that people don’t come down harder on my intelligence. Stupid, I know, but I honestly think I would benefit from absolute critique. I’m not saying I want people to put me down, but rather say what I can improve and change, add, remove… anything ! like Goddess did when I posted a “poem” at OB, she commented on the rhythm (rightly so) without being mean or condescending. That was really helpful and made me more focused. Sure I like being praised and patted on the back, but in the end I’m only hurting myself by not challenging my abilities. Sunshine makes the flower pretty, but water makes it grow.
Speaking of water, I wonder how many types of Rain there are?
Acid Rain, Pouring Rain, Purple Rain, Silent Rain, Damp Rain…. No Rain… hrm..
Anyway… I managed to get out of the house and go for a walk today and it was really rewarding. In late fall and early winter the air is so crystal clear, that every breath makes you feel more and more alive and vibrant. At least it does in my case. The sound of leaves swirling in the wind is so soothing that one could easily come to a halt and lose track of time. I so sorely need that peace of mind that enters during these few months.
When the snow starts coming in, I will thoroughly enjoy trotting in the quiet and dimly lit streets. Maybe even take the time to reminisce childhood memories, build a snowman or meditate under the starry skies.
After that I shall look forward to the spring and the increase in sunny hours. Waking up in the morning and hearing the birds chirp in the tree outside my window. Sitting on the porch watching the sunrise, basking in its blazing light and warmth.
I’ve learned not to pm, post or blog on an empty stomach *blush* that won’t happen again, believe you me. I apologise to those who’ve come across my no-brain-works of excrement. *coughshycough* Really I do *eats humble pie*
I said Mainstream, not Lifestream.
