existential housecleaning

I’ve got so much to write, so much to say.  I’ve seen so much and felt so much, and I’d like to put it into words here where you might stumble upon it and find something of worth (however slight) in it…

but right now I can’t. 

I’m in a strange place right now and I need to do some serious existential housecleaning before I can again share this walk with y’all without feeling, well, fraudulant and cold…

don’t ask.

suffice it to say that life is incredibly unpredictable and even when you think you know yourself, when you think youv’ve gained a certain sense of your stance and worth in life, in your actions, in the world at large…just when you think you have it nailed; “solved”,  life swells up to meet you and proves to you that you in fact don’t know jack shit, and that furthermore you are not living up to (and that’s a friggin’ understatement) your ideals, your principles.

so, enough of the drama…

I’m not going to write any anecdotes or stories or reflections for a while…not sure for how long, either.

I’ll probably post some pics now and again and some general updates, too…we’ll see.

in the meantime, know that I’m on the road, trying to walk my way to a cleaner existential house.

I appreciate so very much all of your support, your kind words, and the knowing that y’all are out there checking up on me now and again.  Thank you, and much love.

    hey ian,
    good luck. you’re an inspiration and i’m thankful that you keep a website and write about your journey. it’s fun to read and makes me feel like i feel sometimes when I read an awesome book and i can connect with the feelings/thoughts of the author, only yours is more real. anyway, i hope you’re enjoying life, growing, learning, etc.

    Hola Ian,
    Veo que sigues en tu camino. ¿Cuanto hace que no regresas a P-land? sabes ahora estoy en Miami. Yarter y yo nos divorciamos. Pero seguimos en comunicación de vez en cuando. Tengo más de un año que no veo a Susan y sus vecinos. Estoy segura que todos pensamos en ti. Eres nuestro héroe : )
    ¡Mucho animo profe!
    Claudia
