Falling stars streak my eyes

Tired.
Made it through the work day in VT alright, still haven't heard from my mom, which concerns me a bit.. I'll try again tomorrow before work.
Went down to Northampton after work to check in.. glad for the time to talk about recent stuff and clear up some lingering concerns. I'll try to make myself more available while other people are awake as soon as I'm ready. As much as it's been murder on my social life, I've really needed the time I've been spending in semi-hibernation by staying up so late and sleeping until I head for work. Finally, a schedule crafted around my preferred rhythms. It won't last forever, but I'll enjoy it while I can.
Besides, as has been pointed out to me, I need to take care of myself much better than I do. This late-night soul-searching is part of that.

Stopped by the side of the road in the dark on the way home through Sunderland to look up at the stars for a while. Saw a few meteorites making their blazing fall to earth and wished for peace. Within and without.

Came home to find that the Justin Hayward CD I've been waiting for finally arrived this afternoon. Yaaaay! It sounds gorgeous, and there are a few bonus tracks I've never heard before. The universe's way of answering me with music I love. I respond by listening.

I appreciate the patience of those of you stuck dealing with me as I wrestle with the deep places in myself, searching for a path I can follow with passion again. My impulse leads me right back into the spiritual.. time to start reading and researching again. A bit of Carlos Castaneda, touch of Starhawk, Rumi, and maybe I'll finally finish the book on Bushido I started all those months ago. :)

Later.

-Me.

What is worth more, a crowd of thousands,
or your own genuine solitude?
Freedom, or power over an entire nation?

A little while alone in your room
will prove more valuable than anything else
that could ever be given you.
