What if our energetic sensitivity is our greatest strength and capacity? What if being aware of everything is a gift, not a mistake or a curse? What does receiving and perceiving this create today? How does it get any better than this? What else is possible now?

Day 21: 871 Words

It's Monday.

And it's a shitty Monday on the world scene that I am seeing. This whole death by a thousand cuts thing seems to be happening in real time. I am generally not a pessimist. I am however preparing myself for things to move far more in a direction not of my choosing. The Supreme Court has allowed states to purge voters who haven't voted recently. There is no logical reason for this whatsoever.

However, I hope it leads to more states adopting automatic voter registration with driver's licenses and such. It is the most fundamental right we have as Americans and the Republicans want it taken away. They want a white-only country. They won't get it; it's too late. But man, they are winning in some strange and horrific ways.

We have work to do.

Shout out to all the extremists who are taking advantage of our open and flexible systems. You're winning for now. But I do wholly believe these wins are short-lived. And the response will be massive.

You want to take away health care? Fine, short term win. You are paving the way for even conservative Democrats to support single payer healthcare.

You want to prevent people from voting for various and sundry silly reasons? Fine, the next time we are in charge we will lock down that right. You know, as originalists in support of the Constitution.

I am usually able to ignore this stuff. I say and believe all the fucking time, everything here is a game. Fortunately, we've been witnessing game play for thousands of years. It's just odd to be on the losing team, to get the gut punch on a near daily basis. To once and for all see the shaky foundations of "high road" and "norms" and "protocol" quivering like non-stop earth tremors. The shaking has given so many of us PTSD.

Detach, woman!

Detach.

Don't give it your energy. Breathe into your own parallel universe. Look closely. Focus on the wind chimes playing the background tracks in your ears. Focus on the bird feeding off the moss up in the fairy forest, just outside your window.  Focus on this big screen right in front of you that houses your thoughts, your ideas, your writing muscles which are starting to bulge a little, ever so slightly.

Drawing a blank again. This feels futile, writing just for the sake of writing. I don't feel that way about exercise. I understand how the daily exercise keeps me strong, limber, energized.

I want that for my writing, too. I don't feel it in the same way I feel exercise. And of course it's easy for the monkey mind to tell me I am wasting my time. I reject that! Do you hear me, I reject that!

Not every workout feels good. Each single workout does nothing, measurably speaking, to my overall health and fitness. But it is the SUM of daily workouts that keeps me happy and healthy.

The breeze just picked up and blew a cooling wash across my face. Thank you. I'm sitting here in my Japanese yukata, trapping so much heat inside! Then, the breeze. Thank you.

It's fascinating to me, this contrast between the physical and the mental. In both cases, physical exercise and writing exercise, I mentally understand the concept. I accept the concept. I know there are people who workout physically and don't like it. The don't get the buzz; they'd rather be doing something else. I do get the buzz. I like it.

Writing. Some days I get the buzz but it's subject to a vague and random editorial process. Do I like these words today or not?

Seems unfair. I'd like to have a different metric, one that values my commitment to practice and is not dependent on the words themselves. Like a physical workout, I do believe I will get stronger at this the more I do it. I know a lot of people use rewards. I haven't really connected with that. My monkey mind and I both can see through that. I understand the dopamine-related "proof." Still, I've resisted it.

So now that I'm outing myself, what kind of reward would really make me feel good?

Can't be food - I'm on a weight loss plan to get back my pre 60's weight. That's the weight I've been gaining in my 60's - when the body decides, "I'm good here. Keep up that intense exercise please and cut back on the calories." Ugh. Harder and harder.

A reward. What do you want on a daily basis, Roxanne? What would you miss if you didn't have it? Do you want to tie your writing into that system? Or do you just want to write because you want to be "better" writer and that is enough?

Yes. I just want to be a "better" writer. That's a very problematic word - hence the quotes. I don't mean it in the way you and I are trained to think about it. But I'm well above my word count, so I'm quitting. Perhaps tomorrow I will deconstruct the word B E T T E R and find a replacement that is truer to my perspective.

I am a mom.That means I am far from perfect. I make mistakes, I lose my shit often, I sometimes forget things, and I have days I just want to quit. But that is okay because in the end, no one could love my children more than me. #myminime #happydance #teamfamily #mamabear #thismakesmesmile#proudmom #loveher #iwanttofreezetime #momsaresoconfusing#babiesofinstagram#newmum#momlife #moments #lifewithababy #motherhoodthroughinstagram#motherdaughter#snapchatters#simplejoys#bloggers #indianblogger #indianmoms #bloggersofinstagram #bloggersworld #bloggersofindia #Howdoesitgetanybetterthanthis #weareone #wearerealmoms #blogging #blog

Happiness is.. meeting my kids studying out of town!

Coming from the background that he comes from, this is a BIG dream come true for both him and his family! I can't even imagine the barriers and shackles he'd be breaking just by graduating from PEC.

I keep talking about the intangibility of the work we do. It takes years to see any real impact but then we have these little milestones that restore our faith in the work we've been doing at grassroots level.

Did I imagine this when I was toying with the idea of registering Parkshala? Absolutely not!
