Wednesday August 6th

Platypusman — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:29:26 GMT

What a difference a day makes!
Yesterday was one of the worst days I have had in a few months and it reminded me of just how much I am grateful for:
- I have real friends who I don't even have to think about much of the time like Deborah, Andrew, two Michaels, Janos, Tom, Marv, Matt, Sandy, and Eugene. You won't see them on Tribe because they live real world.
- My family is my family and I love them and can count on them no matter what.
- My wife is my rock and even though she has her weaknesses she will always be there come hell or high water.
- My dog and two cats love me and can see through me and inside me.
- The Four Agreements is always there as well to remind me that all of this world is just an illusion and none of the things that people might think or say about me matter in the slightest. It is my dream to live in the way I choose.
- I choose love and life over all else.

Platypusman — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:19:32 GMT

I had a very nice weekend and give thanks for my friends, family, and loved ones. I am fortunate to live in Berkeley and work in San Francisco. I had a lovely train ride to Sacramento where I had a good visit with my mom and step father. It was fun to watch our first movie on the big screen TV last night as well. It will be even better when it is mounted on the wall and the subwoofers are hooked up.

I look forward to a good and productive week.

Monday the 7th

Platypusman — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:43:22 GMT

It is nice to be back. I have missed this place. I have much to be grateful for but I will keep it simple if I can. I really appreciate the people who have reached out to me with compassion, love, and tenderness for the last few months. I have learned a great deal about myself and look forward to learning even more as I move on with my life.

In the movie "Short Bus" one of the main characters talks about the state of impermeability. I can relate to that absence of feelings and how I long to become more permeable. I am grateful for the people in my life who love me in spite of myself and are willing to let me grow into them.

I am also grateful for the book "Stroke of Insight" that I just started to read. The author is an amazing woman and the stories I heard her tell on Fresh Air have inspired me to learn as much as I can about releasing the control the left side of my brain has over the right side. This should be fun and transforming and I look forward to my journey.

The technology of the internet for connecting us at such a crucial time in each of our lives. I am thinking about you today, Buck. I thank you for your kindness, love, enouragement, humor, insight, and lessons you shared with me while on this planet. Humanity. I am thankful for these aspects of humanity.

Today I ran a half marathon on a dirt trail with steep hills around Lake Chabot. it was the longest I have run in almost three years. I am very grateful that my knees, feet, lungs, and heart are still capable of moving me like this.

The run took place in a location that has special memories to me. It is where I met and talked to my ex-girlfriend for the first time, one on one. I was reminded that life goes on through almost any circumstance, beside our own deaths, and we can choose what we take from each experience and what we leave behind.

Life is good.
