As of recent

I’m waiting for my triumphant return to school in January, till then I am CHILLING. Right now I’m almost done One Hundred Years of Solitude and Gabor Maté (my love)‘s Hungry Ghosts. One Hundred Years has me conflicted—although I can appreciate it’s patient meditation on the cyclical nature of capitalism, it’s pacing is emotionally nonlinear, and paired with the six generations of all too similar names, it’s been a tedious venture so far. Conversely, I was enthralled by the first half of Hungry Ghosts so much that I went back and highlighted all the lines that struck me, and now I’ve got just shy of a hundred pages left. As an addict I’m indebted to his compassion, research, prose, and those adorable cheek bones

Cultish

The more I read this book the more I think that everyone should read it. Linguistics is fascinating to me and I know it’s not for everyone, but the author makes it so digestible and I’m just seeing connections between the “typical” way cults attract members and how politicians, main stream media, and corporations communicate/try to brand themselves. It’s smart and entertaining without making light of serious topics. I LOVE IT!!!!

Letting things happen

I have a very strong desire for control over every aspect of my life and I’ve never been able to roll with things. Lately I’m trying to let go of this so I can participate in my ‘friendships’, which I have really been neglecting in recent years. Today a friend texted and asked me to go to the farmers market with her. At first I felt scared (lol) and inclined to ignore the message but I decided instead I would agree to go, and within 5 minutes I was in her car with her. It was a total blur and I was anxious out of my mind but I felt very grateful to spend time with someone I love. I’m terrible at conversing but even just to stand beside her was nice. We hugged before parting ways. I am glad that I did this.

Time was gigantic……. When we were kids - the durutti COLUMN

The other album I’ve been super into the past few days :-D so gorgeous. I’d never heard of this band before and I still haven’t heard their other albums but I feel inclined to listen. They have a really nice sound and the vocalists are both (I think it’s just two?) wonderfully talented. Some of the songs make me want to cry some of them make me want to dance

ACUPRESSURE mat during meditation

I know people typically sit while they do it, but I’ve found laying down on my acupressure mat to be extremely helpful with meditation. I have not been practicing long and its still very difficult for me, but the acupressure makes me physically relax to the point that I am able to be listening and breathing calmly and feeling ‘okay’ enough to want to put my heart into the practice.
