No Time or Space – Saturn in the Final Degree of Pisces

If I thought it was challenging to point myself in a direction before, I’m getting taken to school these days. The obstacles to progress while intangible are nonetheless extremely effective in achieving their ‘obstacle to progress’ result. Should I try going in a different direction? Try harder? Try a different approach? Or just stop trying completely? Is it simple ignorance of how to execute tasks effectively, or genuine unsuitedness? Is there a realistic path between where I am, and the expression of the ideas I have in mind? Universe? You out there? It’s me, Jenn…

So, as I navigate what feels like a whole world(view) ending, let me see if I can make a little progress in the arena of personal sharing.

Part of the idea of this website is to archive images of journal pages from the past that I am particularly fond of. Here is one – do I have to date them, because I am not sure I can do that, and also maybe the jumbled presentation will jog something else into life. Who knows?

That funny black plant piece is something I did with Saskia (last year?) with her print making tools. It was really fun to choose bits of nature and then try to make them translate onto the page as something interesting/attractive/metaphorical. No metaphor in this placement, just the right size of space.

And though it seems obvious to me, I will state that writing is not mine, but rather a found piece which spoke really loudly to me, both as an expression of how I feel in the life I live, but also as a reminder of questions like ‘who writes the words that come from my pen?’ and ‘who set my goal of sharing life experiences?’

In the other vein… Sisyphus? Prometheus? Chiron? Mythic figures who face unending torment…

Have I mentioned I find this technology really frustrating? All of a sudden, I won’t be able to type anymore, edit things, because somehow I have moved ‘us’ into a different data-entry setup, and it is not obvious to me how to get back… there is a general movement away from simplicity in most arenas these day and I question its value.

On Teb. On.

    I understand how prevalent ‘obstacles to progress’ have become, and I ask myself many of the same questions you’re asking yourself. I find it extremely difficult trying to define what the problem is, what I can do about it, and if using the energy to find a solution makes more sense than moving on to distract myself with something else.

    Should you find a solution, please let me know!

    [Also, regarding the computer stuff, I tend to type/edit everything in notepad, then copy and paste it into the application of choice. Might help?]

    Be well, and good luck with everything.
