Thirteen questions

I took time out from my UK tour to answer some probing questions from BBC Ouch...

Dunno if the first edit got through, this one is better -

So you're having fun in the multiversa as well! I've found that some feel really threatened by the suggestion that we're all living and creating our own reality, and it made me forget, totally, about the beauty I think there is in helping each other open up a bit of shared space. Try telling that to someone you've been hopelessly in love with for ten years, who then turns around and implies you have no idea what it means to care, love and live. It killed me... It can still hurt me now that my old brain still associates that experience with what had been my otherwise extremely rewarding way of seeing. Perspective has taken a bit of time to ease back into. That's why I now go about things much more quietly - drawing from what I've got, rather than hankering after more. Things are starting to, and will, change (the most sound changes, I think, come from an acknowledgement of what one already has and, thus, what can be worked with). I also completely agree with you even more generally that following each other isn't the way - it actually becomes very disrespectful to all of each other's experiences.

You didn't need a sob story though in that last post I wrote eight hours or so ago! I s'pose I was just echoing your thoughts that if reality is constructed, this also compels a responsibility to get a handle of. I know the irony full well too of being right in the midst of what would perfectly illustrate what one is trying to describe!!! But hell, now you're going on about business branding and stuff - beyond me.

Just give textured and regressive on my site a bit of a read when you get home with more time. First scroll down to a new entry entitled 'what of exclusion?' on the old pretext page perhaps, past stuff that may really seem like crap. Platitudes is more my passion.

cheers
