I was intending to have a fairly clear overview of my activities on here, but I've just not found it easy to write about the spiritual side of my life. I realized that I hardly ever do, except when someone else asks first. Anyway, it's there. I try very much to live my beliefs, which centre around the fact that everything is connected to everything else. I try not to hurt others, and I try to heal them when they are hurt. I once thought of myself as following the grey path, the path of balance; I can no longer hold to that idea. I still uphold the balance, but I am most definately a seeker of light.
That probably sound rather airy, and by itself I guess it is. Anyway, the distinction between realms is hard for me to distinguish; rather I see things in terms of spectrums.


My past is a topic which I prefer to share with individuals, because the things that have happened to me can cause misconceptions about me and others involved if the only know about the events. There are a lot of unpleasant things in my past, many painful episodes. I survived, I am stronger, and I should hope that I have become more understanding. I will talk about it if people ask.


To anybody browsing, and particularly those that happen to be acquainted with me, I have difficulty in acting 'naturally' on forums. Don't be surprised if I don't sound on here the way I do elsewhere, I react to this sort of forum in a way rather more boistres/playful than I am amongst long standing friends. This is also a place for me to talk and read about "strange" things, like empathy and therianism. Don't be shocked, if you're not comfortable with 'that stuff' then don't read.


Disclaimer over with: Welcome to my journal.

I welcome any communications with people who are broad minded _and_ sensible enough to consider and examine a thing before accepting or rejecting it. Also I believe a certain amount of scepticism is necessary to being sensible. I believe that everyone needs to go through what they believe is real at some point, and that no one else can do it for them. All we can do is advise others and listen to others advice.

Because most of the obove still aplies, I'll just add on a bit here.

Due to the many things in life that come up unexpectedly (that means 'most things' for me), I have not written here as much as I would have liked to. Partly 'cause I'm busy, partly 'cause I'm too brain dead to think, but mostly because when I'm having trouble, or feeling down, I tend to fold up on myself rather than talk about it. If I send out a plea for help on line, I'm REALLY in need.

That wont happen often. If I go through a six month crises, you'll probably only hear from me twice in that time. Some conversation would really be appreciated when I do turn up, to keep me connected with things.
