Storing, or storying...?


 Hi y'all...

                ah used to suffer from the paralysis of analysis. I described this most- in a poem- where ah said-

                    "I have hands afraid to touch,

                     and a mind that knows too much."

I was locked up between the 'what-ifs' and the 'if onlys'... ...this is described by various people- in different ways...

...there are heaps of meme's floating around on the net that covers this item.

 

So holding onto thoughts and ideas was not healthy for me. My outlets were limited.

Looking back- this was about my family and community culture- at the time-. post two world wars and a major depression.

I say this often. I am a grandfather, a great uncle, etc. etc. I see positive changes all around me- through all the mist and confusion of life.

 

My starter for my topic was from a pastor named Ryan Carpenter- on an online video-

    he says- talking about ~what matters~ rather than "what's the matter".

So I responded to this- with a notion, an idea of my own... ...along the same lines-

          ...storing, or storying...

 I wrote this six months ago.

 Now that I have stopped storing old stuff- my memory liberates me. At my age I have a large pool of memory- and sometimes I seem to be drowning in it.

Well, a lot of my memories were hard to bear. That is why I am here, essentially. I had to learn to create a safe place. This was largely in the company of people like myself. Like ourselves.

So, here, I can draw on my own idea. I can add lots and lots of other people's ideas and experiences to this. This creates lots and lots of brain activity and emotion... ...more like a waterfall and stream- than a stagnant pool.

I want to take my revenge on a difficult life. An impossible life.

I can achieve this by taking more strength, breathing deeply. biggrin ...
