not really a real post...but illusions of progress are important!

It is interesting that in the most frazzled states of being, I am able to bring myself back to myself in reading a simple piece of my own writing. I suppose this is reason enough to blog. 

Life has once again swept me up in much of its “do,do,do” as I have once again made a cross-country transition. 

It will still be a few days (hopefully not much more) before I really have time to sit and get this blog caught up, but some observations: 

1) I am surprised to look back at my summer in retrospect and see how much introspective time I allowed for myself amidst all of the visiting. In this, I accessed a high degree of ambition for personal project (once again) upon returning to Washington. 

2) The reality of Washington is once again presenting itself as a precarious balancing act. The environment primes itself for these personal endeavors, and yet the external commitments I have show an ever-narrowing space for that. 

3) And thus a feature Journey theme of mine - Balance - takes the stage once again. How to navigate my inner and outer growth without needing storage shelving at one time or another? 

4) In the last few years, I have aimed to nurture integrity as my namesake. This is my equilibrium for my extremities. When overwhelmed, it comes out as awkward, fragmented sculptures. I will only be able to persist for so long like this until I just need to retreat and make quiet space.

To be blogged: 

1. Traveling 4,000 miles across the country with my brother. The ins and outs of feelings…coming out and staying in. 
2. The wonderful insanity of my Great Communicator and social planets compelling me to shape yet another jam-packed weekend of three jobs and little sleep right after moving (sacrificing the actual “move-in’’ process of unpacking…) 
3. The first week of Orientation, introductions to a whole new, amazing AmeriFamily (and still the underlying disarray of an abode to be unpacked…

…which is what I really meant to be doing right now in this short (and now shorter) time I have t home…so more soon!
