Nina Leen, "Line of Operators at Macy's Main Switchboard, with Alice Lennon Flipping Through a Rolodex File"
I've found it hard in life to communicate accurately a sufficient amount of the time.
To attain unaffectedness, I can work with either the 'accurately' or 'amount of time' parts. Heck, why not work on both simultaneously! Now, there's a thought. It seems like there are so many things to work on, but communication has always been important to me.
The fact that each person means even a slightly different thing by every word they speak or write prompts a great feat to people who enter each other's worlds through words alone. I say this, though I treasure words and what they CAN do. It's definitely a step in the right direction.
But then there's just 'being in the presence of' - still and without words... and some things are then just understood. That's global, and then lovely words attempt to sculpt that into the perfect symbol, which will then point toward something meaningful. Making meaning, observing consciously - that's the stuff.
I don't know whether others can't sleep at night and find these types of thoughts, nay concerns, running through their brain, but it seems that I am. I'll keep the blog - who, with a life of its own, makes no false assumptions...nor right ones.
