THAT'S WHERE I REALLY AM NOW: Terribly in-between everything. A rock and a hard place. Life and death. Waking and sleeping. Being a junkie; being a human being. Writing poetry and writing crap. Everything's like this in life right now.
The only way I can describe my predicament is that different things in life that I may want to do feel as if they're in as distinctively different dimensions as dreams are from wakefulness. Both feel real as you experience them, which makes the choice of one or the other direction all the more difficult. The only way of telling which is more real is by remembering: in dreams, everything seems real. In our waking lives dreams are unreal yet wakefulness is.
But I get so intoxicated by the moment, I lose sight of this.
Ancient Chinese proverb says: He who chases two rabbits catches nothing.
Am I making sense to anyone here?

ReplyDeleteYou're a good writer. Have you been checked for ADHD? Your lost post sounds like typical symptoms of that.
ReplyDeleteWe all need an anchor. A touchstone, if you like. This is someone or something that you can always rely on to ground you no matter what flights of fancy we might take.
ReplyDeleteYes except I dont understand the proverb!
ReplyDeleteCome on Ivy!
ReplyDeleteIf you try and accomplish two goals you're likely to fail at both so do one at a time. You can catch one rabbit if you chase it. But if you let your attention wander you will not catch two rabbits at once. You just won't!
Sorry thanks everyone else for the words of encouragement/advice/sympathy.
ReplyDeleteIn between is somewhere I've been TOO much for TOO LONG a time so I'm TOO USED to being there ...
that's all I can say really
