Hunting and gathering

The holidays are always a time for reflection for me.  Starting around Thanksgiving, I get the instinctive urge to slow down from being so active and pushing forward all the time. It’s time to start gathering in all the bits of knowledge, newfound strength, and lessons in humility I’ve sown through the past year.

Some major projects in the practical, logistical side of my life have finally wrapped up, I’m feeling mostly steady and stable with all the relationship stuff going on around me.  And yet inside I’m restless and anxious and I’m not sure why.  Fortunately, I’ve got some time off around the holidays and some travel time.  I plan to spend it quietly thinking, reading back through things I’ve written this year, and building the foundation from which I’ll launch myself into the new year.  I’ll share pieces that are relevant to my polyamory experience here and maybe fill in some of the gaps I left in my story when things got too crazy for me to slow down and write.

And so, I enter my winter hibernation. I see myself less like changing from a caterpiller to a butterfly, but maybe like a bear going to sleep for a while and coming out remembering why it’s great to be a bear.

I just had an article published in The Truth Quarterly, an indy publication put together by a really fun group of guys.  Sadly, it’s the last issue coming out, but I do plan on contributing some more articles to their next project.

Anyway, here’s a link to the publication:  http://www.yostrick9.com/2008/the-final-issue-of-the-truth-quarterly/

I haven’t written much here on the blog lately, but there’s lots to come. Check back soon!
