for some reason, i feel i can't come here unless i have "something to show for myself"
as in...something i have made. accomplished.
i have been mostly thinking about equilibrium. looking for equilibrium: 1. a state of adjustment between opposing or divergent influences or elements 2. a state of balance between opposing forces or actions that is either static or dynamic (as in a reversable reaction when the rates of reaction in both directions are equal
things aren't static. or equal in both directions. and i keep thinking that if i look long enough, wait, i will find some equilibrium. it's not happening.
there are at least, and i made a list, 10 things, ten factors, that are in motion, in this day that are strong in the mix. some are personal, example: i seem to have severely compromised my sciatic nerve. some are of my immediate community: my neighbors have been evicted. others are of my larger community: Lybia and Japan. i look at them and they seem to weigh equally heavily on my sense of equilibrium. this is strange. how can this be?, i am thinking. how can Japan or Lybia be similar to my sciatic nerve?...or, to my neighbors plight?
