I totally get the whole wanting to open up, to be truly seen. It’s scary but also feels so good. I can relate to feeling like an alien sometimes too. The way you talk about wanting connection but still wanting to stay in your own skin—constant push-pull. It’s messy, but kind of beautiful too. Thank you for being so open and honest. I see you, and I want you back! ❤️

Thanks lady ❤️ that feels good. And yes, that endless push-pull! I remember my beau saying to me once, all great experiences come with a little fear, and I've found that to be true. There's always something to learn from stepping into the messy wonderful unknown.

after reading your words, i am looking back on my old writing and wondering when and why i closed off—thank you for your permission

Expand full comment

Im grateful I can offer permission for you. I’ve have had the same experience, wondering where my heart went. Funny how we constrict ourselves from the very things we want most.

That word "constrict" is an interesting choice. Makes me think of something that is growing, getting bigger and has to break out of its skin and molt, shed a shell that is now too small and tight. I think you are shedding your shell, things are getting foamy....what with all that push pull going on...

Expand full comment

Molting indeed. Which seems to be a continual process… it is interesting though, how sometimes it is a big struggle of push and pull and wriggling and writhing, and other times it’s more like there’s just a kink in the hose and once I notice, WHOOSH, full force returns in a breath

Yep. Maybe as we get more in tune with our direction things get more streamlined. I have to say, in my case, at 65 years old and finally accepting that this poetry shit is not going to leave me alone, there is streamlining. Early on it's all pinballing around unless you're Mozart or Bill Shakespeare. For what it's worth, I think you're the cat's ass and your intuitive motion movement brainchild might save this obese, under stimulated world. Go you crazy thing and never stop.

I love that, this “poetry shit” isn’t gonna leave you alone. So poetic.

Yeah, streamlining like, the moments of clarity get closer together maybe? That’s how it seems now, anyway. Try enough things, find an anchor, tune into the next evolution sooner, or something. And the darkness becomes more familiar and chaos is less of a disorienting frenzy.

I have never before been called the cat’s ass and I do so appreciate the inventive compliment (I dunno, is that a Wes original?) Anyhow, I’ve heeded the call. There’s no stopping the force now! Just some kinks to unfurl every so often.

That thing you said about chaos....I would guess that most people avoid any type of chaos because you really don't know what you're letting yourself in for but, with enough practice comes confidence. I've seen guys drive cars on two wheels.

On another tack, we humans used to move a lot. All this sedentary living is basically slowly killing us. What you are doing is remembering how utterly fucking important movement is to LIFE and you are reminding all of us of it. Keep at it. They talk about the Paleo diet, well, you are doing something just like that but more important. Move it or lose it, all of it. Doing the Paleo "Boogie Woogie Baby". Fats Domino playing cause he's the cat's ass.😉

If that don't get it, play "Sing, Sing, Sing" the loudest you can stand. Some very good dancing here. One of my favorite big band songs. Louis Prima 1934 https://youtu.be/TOPSETBUgvQ?si=35H0HoigMfak6xXP
