In part this is because I am kind of overwhelmed by your kindness, and your deep considerations.<BR/><BR/>You get it. That's all.<BR/><BR/>And it's kind of scary when people see you trying for your dreams, and they say YES.<BR/><BR/>So, please understand I am not silent to your comments because I am not listening, I am. Or because I don't think they are worthwhile, they are amazing. It's because I am still dealing with what it is I am doing and with how everyone is responding. (Plus I have these kids running around making it difficult to concentrate as much as I would like on responding to your very important words.)<BR/>WGRowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-55797662176159716622008-09-25T00:14:00.000-04:002008-09-25T00:14:00.000-04:00The other day I was reading about how people back ...The other day I was reading about how people back in agrarian times saw the world though both mythos and logos, [the mythical being how we connect back to the orgins, to our roots if you will, all the ways we give our lives meaning, connecting our daily lives to the sacred; Logos being rational thought, problem solving, distinctions between this and that etc.] both were equally valued and relevent, interdependent in fact. And then with the industrilization of the West, as our understanding of science deepened and we increasingly modernized our lives, we began to lose sight of the importance of myth and neglect the mythical (psychoanalysis arose from this need according to the writer). <BR/>Anyway, the reason I mention this is because I thought of Flying Girl as I was reading this, of that instant connection, whatever it is that pulls me toward Flying Girl like some gravitational force, saying, "Yes, this is it!" in ways I can't (or haven't been able to) say in words. It's of the mythical, reminding me of what I was born knowing as a human being connected to generation upon gerneration of restless struggle and search for meaning... <BR/>What I'm trying to say is that the world NEEDS MORE of Flying Girl, and I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do with Her...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-72383216339518754332008-09-24T00:47:00.000-04:002008-09-24T00:47:00.000-04:00Funny you should write about fear.

I explain that I'm nervous or, indeed, terrified.<BR/><BR/>Some people look baffled. "Why?" they ask.<BR/><BR/>Other people people nod knowingly. "I know what you mean--but you'll be fine," they say.<BR/><BR/>Oh the fear!<BR/><BR/>And I saw by the way what you said on the freelance writer blog, and I appreciate your thought and your support.
