Woof! Arf!

Well...I chewed through the leash!

Finally couldn't tolerate feeling literally 'tied' to my computer via a cord to my cell.
Reupped with my cable server.  Got a smokin' promo deal on tv/dsl (plus free showtime!) for a year.  Figured I will likely have moved by then.  Or not.

Have to admit that alot of this breaking of the tether was due to the fact that I had been researching/exploring new tvs.  My dad's quit.  And an old 19" was crazy making to use.  So on Black Friday, I bought a 40" Sony.  OMG.....feel like I'm sitting in a theater........and lovin' it!  HA!

Is so embarrassing to be human, isn't it?  Always justifying our actions.  Like me saying to myself: "Well, I really 'need' to be current technologically, be up to date on current events, 'need' to be current in communications."

And before?  "I really 'need' to simplify, really 'need' to not get caught up in our crazy world on a daily basis, just listen to NPR and check out news online when I am moved to know.   Do whatever to help maintain a peaceful mind."

Ken Wilbur writes: 'Transcend and include.'  Perfect.  Simple.  Easy to remember.  (sometimes).

The 'include' part, I have found, is really important.  It is very tempting to 'throw away' what you have transcended:  things, people, places, memories.  Like running away from them.  Getting them out of one's life.  'SO' they will go away....out of sight, out of mind stuff.

But.

It seems it's the paradox.............again.   Always, always, the paradox.

I am this.  

And.

I am that. 

Simultaneously.

That's it.  That's the best answer. 

For me.
