Thank Silvie for the I Ching Bracelet
I waited 6 hours ago

before writing you about the I Ching bracelet. I received your parcel last week and took the time to make friends with your/my bracelet, followed the instructions and I find it great!
I wear it every day and sometimes during the day I caress him (apparently it’s a him, all yang!), I think of you and all the others wearing your I ching bracelets: what a great community you have built around you with your care and … amiable disposition (I don’t know exactly if the expression sounds strange nowadays, but that’s how aunt Jane would have put it, and I don’t find a better expression).

Thank to your interest in I Ching bracelets I discovered a new world to me. Not that of I Ching, which I knew but had almost forgotten, that of stones instead! Since when I received it I have been reading about stones, because I love the stones in my bracelet. It’s a whole fascinating field to me. I went to visit gem and mineral shops, looked for more stones:
I think this is the beginning of a wonderful adventure for me.
Thank you Silvie!

disappear from here (as well as from the real world) in September [and also a bit longer in October - sigh] 2008 (read all 3 entries…)
After I finish with this: 3 days ago

-) meet friends, mate, parents!
-) plan travels (short long distance, every sort of, pic nics, Venice, Canaletto exhibition)
-) write instructions on how to handle myself as a writer next time
-) stop eating sugar and take inspiration from the mighty Wren
-) start hypnosis plan against anxiety
-) plan to have fun with my lectures
-) build a routine (why, why this never works?)
-) plan my future (emotional, professional, intellectual, musical: put together all parts of me and let them play together)
-) live healthier
-) each day let myself cultivate crazy ideas for at least 30’
-) entertain amazing people (shaw,
-) ask myself, what’s the smart thing to be thinking now
-) adopt a problem and feed it
-) make new friends in this still foreign town
-) avoid depressing boring people, people making me feel inadequate or guilty or sorry
-) expand my powers (over myself, mind, body, over my world)
-) send those parcels to 43Ters (aehm…)
-) haircut
-) facial
-) a day at spa

ok enough with dreaming for now, back to writing

I don’t understand why working inside my mind all day long puts such a big energy in me. I’m full with ideas and projects now, none of which I will remember after I finish this project, I’ll know already that I’ll feel completely useless and wrecked and disturbed by the idea I could have done things better and wholly unsatisfied. But have to get finished first. One thing at a time.
