 A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

I responded to a blog entry "I wanna be productive!"  by Elisa, Stik-or-Treat:Maybe I'm the flip side of the coin. I dunno. I've always been a daydreamer connecting stray thoughts into a vision, mere gossamer perhaps. I am dreaming about being 22 in Thailand. Dreams lead nowhere but my feet might get me there yet. Not to be 22, but to connect with another culture and generation. Reality shifts, but the threads that connect us remain, even when tenuous. There's a lot of planning to travel, and much uncertainty. My dreams, my beliefs, my vision provide a goal. My feet might get me there. 🐯 You mention finding youself valued in the workplace. My experience was different. I was considered a cog and nothing more. My mistake for not looking elsewhere and persuing a higher degree (I did try...). I would have been better off as a professor as some folks jump to that conclusion after talking with me. Someone I know, who is ironically 22, has proposed a study project on 13th Century Buddhist chanting as it came to Japan via China. I have some background in culture and language, enough to pose questions that need to be researched. One should never assume too much. His degree path is journalism with a minor in anthropology. Oh, for a Time Machine! 🐯 I don't think productivity has anything to do with present day liberal/conservative points-of-view other than a certain devaluation of what the "others" are producing. One looks back to traditions and the preservation of stability by codifying it into laws and procedures. Others look to the future and the flexibilty and preparation needed for change. Our janitor keeps this old "hotel" clean; but, he is also a poet. He seems to be grounded in Montana and he makes the reality of this place come alive. Me? I'm also a poet but I'm not always "present" in this space and time. I look elsewhere for inspiration and struggle to remain grounded. Dreams are like balloons. When they burst it's a long ways down.  I was tempted to send this but didn't. I'll rethink my wording and what message I'm sending. For future reference: this is an entry in a very old book/blog (now 99 r/r; 1,778 Entries; 105,975 views). Personally, I prefer comments left on the specific entry rather than a review that doesn't pertain to the whole blog. My old blog "L'aura del Campo" is up for a Quill award as a book of poetry. It didn't start that way but it is a repository of many short poems, specifically these days for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT " . Even years ago many of my daily blogs contained poetry. Back in the day I could check and see whose blog had the most views. Don't remember where that stat is hidden. But... I'm still near the top of the list. I got there by working my ass off in the early days. These days? Nary a view, seldom a comment.  To Tomasz: I'm a native English speaker which means I make grammatical mistakes all the time. I'm a poet so I get away with it. 😃 I hope that my mistakes when speaking/writing Thai/Lao are accepted with smiles, laughter and gentle corrections when I visit. Another 2nd place. "Haiku (the morning dew/one tear too heavy) [319a]" I should be thankful. ![Merit Badge in Eastern Poetry
