Hectic. Second Take (*Rpt)
Thu Mar 02 2006

OK, now when everything that was supposed to be done, accomplished, completed today, has been done, accomplished and completed, I can finally sit in peace and actually say something meaningful. And I’d like to start from the beginning. I’ve re-read what I’ve typed in a hurry in 5 mins before leaving office (previous entry)and it’s a shame! Look at the punctuation and spelling and everything else! Not to mention the “deep” philosophical meaning…(honestly, who would really want that?!) I wouldn’t even bother to run a spell check, but shall just re-write the entry.

Well, for once, I will miss out my office complain this time. Firstly because I’ve already complained and there is no need to agitate beloved self with such a pathetic matter once again. That’ll change nothing. I won’t be bothered to repeat the weather report for obvious reasons. (It’s out of date now!) 

I’d like to say more about Communication. What is it for me personally? Say, when I’m alone, what do I do? I do a little bit of thinking to myself. Even when I’m not aware of it, my brain is working on the quiet, processing information from the world around me. (I mean – when I’m not concentrated on certain task, of course…or maybe even when I am as well…hmmm). So at some point my brain would discover something amusing in the outside world and say to me: Stop! This is interesting…and what would I do then? I can of course, converse with me and even sometimes I do, yet there is something always missing…there is always uncertainty. A knowledge of one never has value until it is validated/acknowledged/explained by others. So I would go to find someone to tell/ask/share. Have you noticed how we never upset or angry when we discover someone else shares our point of view? How this makes us happier, because it makes us feel more confident, feel more sure. Personally I need to have these connections with others to validate myself. A kind of checking if I’m recognised by others. Don’t we all want to be recognised? Even connection on spiritual level required some kind of “feedback”. Like when two friends sit on a porch and never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation they’ve ever had. When a simple gesture like a friendly pat on a shoulder makes them much more closer then words they don’t say. A touch, that tells “I’m with you”. We even say “keep in touch” meaning “communicate to me”. Communication to me means assurance that I am not alone. On the other hand, this is not the only meaning of communication of course, just a fraction of it. I’m sure I’ll discover more reasons to keep my connections alive.  I think, I shall stop here. Not because I don’t have anything more to say, but because I wrote a lot today. And I’ve thought even more. And now I’m just tired and I personally don’t like long scrolling pages of a plain text, so I assume nobody else does either.

    ... Communication is for sissies! Then again, I just communicated that to you. And I'm not a sissy. Hahaha...
    Communication is ammusing.

    Feeling a little overwhelmed are we?

    This thought, that thought, and another one, all raging, or ranging, through my head. But not now. When I'm trying to hush my brain so I can go to sleep.

    Shalom
