The Great Kate

2005-02-24T01:55:00.000-05:00

So went to the Cutting Room tonight with Zsuzsi. It was her choice, and to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure about this. All I was told was that she's "young and European". Hence I'm expecting a European crowd, you know a gathering derivative of her circles. And again I didn't even understand that it was at the cutting Room until afternoon, then again I was so busy earlier plus I'm not the

"Your suffering is never useless dear sick people. Moreover it's a precious thing. If you bring together your suffering and pain you can be God's priveliged helpers in the salvation of souls."-Pope John Paul, 2/11/05

"...in navigating our lives, it is our fears and envies, our rages and depressions, our worries and anxieties that steer us day to day. Even the most academically brilliant among us are vulnerable to being undone by unruly emotions."-Daniel Goleman

In 1st Person

2005-02-05T01:04:00.000-05:00

Emotional Insight: Generally I have been out of touch with my emotions, and have failed to identify my feelings. I feel them physiologically but haven't verbalized them or conceptualize them well. I have had problems pinpointing the underlying reasons for my actions, which lead to miscommunication. I have always lacked the ability to make myself feel better when I become angry or sad. I'm told

Excerpt From a Waiting Room

"Friends shouldn't indulge your whimpering about flakiness, [instead] they ought to help you see ambivalence for what it is. Otherwise they're a part of the problem."-Amy Sohn, The New Yorker

"To expect harm and to see attack gets your running legs going, which sets you up for less disappointment. You grow and still react to people as hurtful. Freedom comes from not seeing malicious intention where none is intended.Hold back on concluding the presence of malicious intent. Doubt your supposition and before you draw a conclusion, find out the facts of motivation. Use outside information

To Not

2005-02-02T07:42:00.000-05:00

I spent the afternoon with Luba. She is such a wonderful woman! She has always captured my imagination, quite the perfect, immaculately brilliant! Everything she has ever said to me and everything she has done demonstrates to just how classy someone can be. I know due to the way she has treasured our little friendship, our mutual lulls and has been able to nurture it into something meaningful.I

My Challenge,

2005-01-30T09:59:00.000-05:00

How can I promote harmony and still allow healthy conflict? Idealists go out of their way to promote harmony, I can make peace and take it upon myself to mediate disputes. But when it's possible, and that's seldom, I try to avoid them.Conflict doesn't have to be destructive. Yes there is such a thing, it's called healthy conflict. Even heated exchanges have proven to be useful when we play fairly

Passion,

2005-01-29T10:08:00.000-05:00

I fell in love with a woman who is independent by nature, but she didn't expect to merge her life with mine. Keeping seperate friends, for example, was supposed to give us more to talk about when we were together.When I connect with someone it's immediate, intense and on multiple levels. I realize though that love can be lifelong, so I need to avoid the urges to control it and learn to simply let

& Ideals

2005-01-28T22:47:00.000-05:00

My hopes and dreams are important to me, so I take other people's dreams seriously too. My friends and family know that they can come to me for support and realism. I have an idea of what I want in life, I anticipate and plan around obstacles and I'm a sharp problem solver who is uneasily discouraged. I can be overly modest and I tend to sell myself short. I have a way of seeing the best in

In Control

"The way I seize an image the moment it's shaped in my mind: Trap it like a bird and pin it at once to a canvas. Afterward I tame it to master it. Then I gradually bring it under control to develop it."-Joan Miro

Healthy Shame

2005-01-26T23:22:00.000-05:00

"Healthy shame reminds us that we are less than what we ought to be and less than what we want to be. If we feel shame it is because we are fortunate enough to recognize our faults. Those ashamed by these unflattering qualities should be grateful... Healthy shame is good; it reminds us of the changes we need to make within ourselves..."-Beverly Engel

Mistakes

"We all fall and make mistakes, the challenge is to remain open to grace when we do and find compassion and patience for ourselves"-1/21/05 @ Yoga

Then You Have Loved

2005-01-25T06:15:00.000-05:00

"Unhappiness is easier to convey than happiness. In misery we're aware of our existence, even if it is a monsterous ego: 'this pain is mine only', 'this nerve winces me alone'. However, it is happiness which annihilates us; we lose our identity. Words of love have been used by saints to describe their visions of God, and so, I suppose, we use terms of prayer, meditation, and contemplation to
