Off Again In A Bit
Ecstatic dance = good stuff. Focussed this time on the bits that're between the transitions, on the everyday, on the mundane, on the non-liminal. Not quite sure such a thing, place, phase, state even exists. Continuum. Flow. Dwelling.

Why do I roam? Why do I wander? Why do I wonder/ask why? Why not? Um, nope, that last one's not such a good answer. Is there reason for stopping and setting a spell (perhaps even for a long spell, say a month or a year and a day)? What needs're fulfilled/satisfied/met by my wanderings? Could I meet/satisfy these needs w/out roaming or is roaming in and of itself a need? What're the means and what's the end/goal?

Leaving o'morrow for nearly a week away. Very limited internet access (at best). Really so very much looking forward to this trip, both for what it is and what it represents (20 years in the making...although things've shifted so it's gonna be grand even though likely quite a different trip from what it could've been had it happened way back when or even back when). Must needs sleep now though. Comment here w/anything you feel I should know b'c I'm quite likely not going to get around to reading everything you all post over the course of the next week. Gonna be living in the here and now more than the away and then.

Oh, yeah, today's March 5, exactly eight (8) years since my last monogamous long-term live-in boyfriend ended our 4+ year r-ship. Or rather changed the nature of our r-ship massively...

Roaming and wandering happen all the time for me. Granted, the distance is not quite the same. I think that movement and periods of nonmovement are good. There are times when I sit and listen to those around me. I get so caught in interacting with all of you that the silence and the sitting back is nice. Then someone pulls me back into the pool. The means and ends are the people that I meet and interact with.

I may be wrong, but I thought you were the roamy type because you were afraid of getting stuck somewhere, of settling down into something that wasn't good for you, of becoming complacent or trapped. Most of us are like that.

Congratulations on all the progress in 8 years :D

I don't know if you DID say it, but it's just my impression.
