(no subject)

[adrienmundi]

I haven't been writing much here lately. I'll admit it; Google+ has complicated my choice of medium. Trying to decide what I want to write, where, with what target audience is complicated (or I make it complicated). I've also been writing more by hand lately, specifically letters (fairyhead is away at Burning Man, out of electronic contact but within reach by mail), which has been... pleasant, like finding one's old rhythm when picking up running or cycling after a long absence. While I enjoy the physical constraints of writing block print, by hand; it forces me to slow down, which broadens the stream of... thought, intent? I've gotten into the habit of chasing after whatever's in my mental field of vision, even if it changes quickly, often at the expense of looking at what's on the banks (to totally mix metaphors). It's deliberate. I think it might actually be time to carefully reengage with cursive. My previous take on it was all about speed, but it can be pretty, too, I think.

So I think I'm going to use this space to talk about things I'm usually a little circumspect about: things having to do with my connection to the world, things that border on mysticism, hallucination, maybe in some people's eyes, schizophrenia; body issues, particularly in relation with what I'm trying to do with making my body more habitable, and the push/pull that so often seems to entail. I'm sure there will be other subjects that come up, but those are where I'm most wary, yet still feel the need to engage.
