One on one

I should be writing other things right now but I feel the absolute need to do some philosophical reflection right now. So here it goes...

One on one.

One of the most profound, powerful things I have found in this life is having a one on one conversation with someone. A deep, emotional exchange between you and some other soul, someone you either truly care about and/or are truly interested in (in any way). To sit with another person and to talk, in depth, about any subject is so incredibly powerful.

It is as if we are strongest, most honest, and most intelligent when it is just us and another person we trust and yet at the same time we are vulnerable, emotional (to any degree), and weak. It is at this time that we are honest with our companion--and ourselves. So many truths become self-evident during these conversations.

It is a harmony of souls. One person to another.

I don't know if this is obvious or a given to anyone else...but through my experience, these are....

Well, to be honest. I've not only lost my train of thought but also my desire to continue this. I don't wish to delete it so I'll leave my ramblings here. I hate for this blog to become like my livejournal and other things, which I used mostly as an outlet for frustration. Maybe that's the best way to do it, I don't know.

Personally, though, I don't care to read other's anger, nor reflect on my own. But writing it seems to let it out. And not just anger, either but a whole array of emotions, most of them in fact.

So there it is.

In writing news, I'm back onto House on Hickory Hill. Skin and Bone is on pause for now.

Enjoy life, everyone.

The same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me

And now it's drawin' me in. 6th Avenue heartache.

So yeah, I love the Wallflowers now. Don't care much for Bob Dylan but his son and his son's band are awesome. The Difference, 6th Avenue heartache, and of course One Headlight. Totally adore them now. Rather, I can't express in words how much this band means to me. It is one of "those" bands to me now, if that makes sense to all you audiophiles and music gurus out there.

So let's talk about life. No job, and I don't care to talk about it. I'm currently in the process of being setup with a kid as a mentor, via Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. And I'm also doing an after-school tutoring program where I might get the chance to drive a university vehicle (awesome!)

At first I was completely nervous about BB/BS but after my interview and going through orientation, I'm now just ready for the phone call that says "hey we got a match." The kid is going to want to do this and he's gonna love me, I'm just waiting for now.

Not sure what to think about the tutoring thing but it starts tomorrow so whatever.

I think I've unlocked what I need to unlock in Skin and Bone, my novel. I just got to keep kicking. We can build it, yes we can.
