The energy waste here is a travesty! We're nuts to be at this fairground. Eventhough I have very little to lose (I have come out of a relative isolation with no other social life owing to the care my son has needed in the past 19 years) there are people here I shouldn't be bumping into. Their energy is sticky and it clings to you throughout the day any you take it to bed with you. Speaking for my hyper-sensitive self. This is interesting to discover (once again - I experimented last on internet in 2004): how the electronic parallell world is very real but very disturbing, on an energetic basis. (Talk about maras....).

All my posts in Jan/Feb were inspired by Watts as I described but unlike you I only mentioned him in passing a few times without going too deep into him, figuring either he'd appeal to the wrong type of New Agey (and not be properly appreciated as the theologist he used to be) or he'd be called a New Agey himself by the sceptics, or he'd be called a fraud by the new vague of mindfulness afficcionados.  I may choose to be all over the place but I can sense perfectly well that the reception out here is banal.  (2 seconds per post).

I remain exhausted, but thanks to you I can also feel a new shift taking place and a new-found courage to sit the last months out in a way that is tolerable for myself (thank God for my deadline of 31 May!)
