  1. A quotation from Twain

    That is the way we are made: we don’t reason, where we feel; we just feel.

    Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 11 “The Yankee in Search of Adventures”

  2. You Cannot Affirm Your Way Around the Inner Work

    A gentle but honest conversation about spiritual bypassing and why affirmations, positivity, and spiritual practices cannot replace the deeper work of healing. This blog explores the importance of understanding our emotions, recognizing our triggers, having honest conversations about grief, fear, pain, and hurt, and taking loving accountability for how we show up in the world.

  3. After developing the ability to watch thoughts and feelings from a mental distance, an even greater freedom is to detach from the subjective feeling of a watcher (which is also impermanent). The result is ungrounded experience, where there is knowing but no knower.

  4. Four Hundred Words for Six Hundred Dollars

    The announcement arrived through LJExpress on a Friday in late July, dressed in the language of service. Media Source, the company that owns Library Journal, School Library Journal, The Horn Book, and the Junior Library Guild, had opened a storefront called Open Shelf Reviews, aimed at independent authors and small presses, and the copy asked me to hold two ideas at once: the reviews would be paid for by the authors under review, and a wall would keep those purchased reviews away from the magazines whose names give the wall its worth. The company described the operation as "a clearly identified paid service," with its own editor, reviewer pool, and website, all kept apart from the editorial processes that made Library Journal matter to librarians for a century and a half.

  5. This is why regular prayer/meditation/quiet time is necessary. To get clarity and adjust the heart/mind to handle the overwhelm. #DayinTheLife #Feelings #Overwhelmed #MentalHealth

  10. Over time, I've realized that a primary goal in my art is to not only feel seen myself but also for others to feel seen as well. I want my works to hit people in a way that gives them pause and makes them wonder how someone knew such an intimate detail about them and their feelings. This goal is very much still a work in progress, but I am enjoying the journey and the process of experimentation and expression.

  11. Feeling a lot of overwhelm today-I usually post more upbeat stuff. But today-feel just the weight of so many things. Probably need to reread my own post on “Demands”. And knowing I have that creative outlet-and can also go back to it myself, is helpful. (My post from my blog: www.Align-With-Love.com)

  16. My mind runs circles, or: Fingers tap

    A Tanka-Puente poem

    my mind runs circles
    a mouse on its spinning wheel
    of anxiety
    I chase ideas around
    till even restlessness tires
    
    ~ No feeling is final ~
    
    my fingers tap out
    five, then seven, then five more
    breath enters the lines
    by the time this poem ends
    I'll have ended something too

    Tanka Tuesday: Tanka-Puente

    For this week’s Tanka Tuesday prompt, Colleen encourages us to compose Puente poems with tankas as the first and third verses of our Puente poems.

    Puente?

    The Puente form has three stanzas with the first and third having an equal number of lines and the middle stanza having only one line which acts as a bridge (Puente) between the first and third stanza. The first and third stanzas convey a related but different element or feeling, as though they were two adjacent territories. The number of lines in the first and third stanza is the writer’s choice as is the choice of whether to write it in free verse or rhyme.

    The center line is delineated by a tilde (~) and has ‘double duty’. It functions as the ending for the last line of the first stanza AND as the beginning for the first line of the third stanza. It shares ownership with these two lines and consequently bridges the first and third stanzas.

    Let’s write poetry together!

    When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

    Ben Harper (b. 1969)

    Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

  17. CW: Loss, pet death

    My cat is sick, nothing too serious so far but I already started spiraling and canceled part of my work 😓

    The memories of losing my other cat last year are still too fresh 😞

  18. CW: CyberSix Comic Spoilers, trans, identity, intense feelings

    Voice Dysphoria is real...
    - So be mindful...

    Also TERFs are just bad.
    - Those "Karen" types need to find themselves better hobbies than eavesdropping on peoples' phone calls!

  19. Nobody has a #machine for processing #truth / #feelings / #emotions.

    Arguably only humans can do this but many systems don't have this process in-built and if anything design-out feelings / emotions and #ignore them. #AltText

    = #System without #Love for people

    Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
    And very hard the task I find
    Of governing it well."
