Age-isms

I have felt in a gap since crossing over the 50’s threshold, unable to relate to other women regarding what I’ve been going through.

And my mind is still in its earler years, where from my 20’s to 40’s inner expression was relegated into a holding pattern.

I’m not like other women out there.

I am set apart.

Although when a guy I see regularly in passing at the gym does a halt-shift abrupt direction reset when he sees me is heart wounding.

I know I am not the type he is looking for – but he didn’t need to physically translate that into a scene.

He’s typed himself from day one in his actions.

And it sucked that he projected “rejection” onto me.

Then, other women say that maybe I’m “doing something wrong.”

No.

I’m just trying to find and conjure forth what qualifues my own truth expressing.

And I am not stepping on or hurting anyone by my actions.

The most I do is revert to self defense when they are pushing.

And they sure go out of their ways to cast their stones blindly.

Myths & Legends

Task of Beirurim

Tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

In the Kabbalah, the sin of the Tree of Knowledge (called Cheit Eitz HaDa’at) brought about the great task of beirurim, sifting through the mixture of good and evil in the world to extract and liberate the sparks of holiness trapped therein.

Hyde's Bride

Crazymaking

When people project onto others, they can end up having the effect of gaslighting.

Then, when the person goes into therapy having been wrongly accused and “persecuted,” tbey might at last “show their “teeth” in their responsive defense to get out the “heat” in what is supposed to be a safe environment.

But, because what the therapist then sees mirrors the projections – which were false in the first place but had driven the innocent person into an internal frenzy – the therapist then reinforces this projection’s reality by admonishing!

Lone Wolf

The End When Beginning

The mother wolf had done all that she could to get the pack’s pups to safety, expecting nothing in return, for she knew it was her duty.

When at last they had reached the higher grounds she had kept them dreaming of, she collapsed in a flump, unable to travel any further.

She could smell the sweet grasses swaying gently, and her heart could be content that at last their children would find plenty.

What more could she want – but to give into the now inevitable darkness without further struggling?

As she closed her eyes to succumb to oblivion, she caught a glimpse of her youngest returning to pull her up by her scruff, back onto her feet again.
