Emma was a cornflake girl
she left home to find a new world
but this a this a this is not
really happening?
You bet your life it is.
The song I'm listening to
a little differently.
(changed the second line)
I've been away from home
since 11th May
but it doesn't feel like it.
Bangalore is a pretty city.
The weather is great,
the food is different and cheap
the people are better than Dilli,
fewer even.
Its a small city with lots of trees and parks.
I have not walked out alone as yet.
Somehow Dilli's laziness seems to carry on.
I've been reading The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.
Tomorrow I begin my first assignment from the book.
Have not written or doodled for the last week.
I feel like a peice of furniture,
dependent on someone else to make my
life purposeful.
All interesting thoughts welcome *hint for Jen and M*
This post has been sooo entertaining I know,
but thats how I am right now.

I've always wondered what a Cornflake Girl was...do you know?
ReplyDeleteProbably nothing exceptional.
Oh a book with assignments, I like that!
hye,u cant ell me and go,why u like this,tell me when u get back
ReplyDeleteBangalore is a small city?!? Hmmm... And people are fewer?!?
ReplyDeleteDamn. Now I'll have to consider moving to some remote village somewhere in the Himalayas. :|
I just left comment and my computer shut down...ugh!
ReplyDeleteonce again....
which piece of furniture and why?
I figured out from writing that comment that was lost...which mantra I think might help me.
it is ..."patient but proactive"
patient but proactive ..patient but proactive...
hey, now you've been spared how I came to that for myself...well, I'll quickly try to explain some..
so maybe thinking of these things will lead you to your mantra...
I was thinking about the things that I need to make me happy each day....time with kids, rest, food, continued thought on my dreams, chores enough so that things don't "fall apart", exercise (at least several times a week), talking with a friend or family (not always needed daily)
...and if any time is left over...I hope I will recognize when it is right to take an action step and which one....and trust myself that I am not being lazy: ).....I can give myself what I need...and be patient...and still be proactive...
right??...yes...patient BUT proactive...
but I have often felt like you describe...like I'm waiting around for something to happen to me...
lately I think I have not explored how meditation...just being quiet can help...
listen...alert, but not concerned about hearing anything....what do you hear? something?...jot it down on paper ...you never know...what it may lead to in time...even if it's just your stomach rumbling...you will then know you are hungry; )
and I have also had "interesting" ideas pop up (well, interesting to me) while just driving or doing laundry or dishes...so it can happen....
patience and proactive...
got an urge to do something?...
will it hurt you or someone else?
if not...it could be an urge worth doing
this new town sounds much better than Dillydally...dillydumdum...dilly...well, you know!
what do you need to be happy in any town?...while you are doing those things, I will try here in this town, too: )
by the way, how's the Artist's Way?
M's exercise to scribble large flowing scribbles...helped "loosen me up"...I think it would be good to do more of when I feel like lazing around...when I feel like "going with the flow" and seeing what I may see....
Have one more thought...am remembering an article I read in Yoga magazine last week...wanted to share it with someone like you...as you seem to be a good observer...thought it might interest you....and I think it may change how you look at furniture!; )...will look for it and hope to get back to you soon.
so you like tori amos, huh?
