Players

[poliphilo]

I think Spirit is like clear, untainted water poured out into earthen vessels.

Earthen vessels- that's Biblical innit?

I think this world is an experiment.

And not to be taken entirely seriously.

I like Shakespeare's insight- the one he keeps coming back to- "all the world's a stage/ and all the men and women merely players."

We are here to try on different roles. To find out what can be done with a certain set of genes and social circumstances.

Why?

Well, why not? Perhaps for no better reason than that it's an interesting thing to do.

Between lives we are subject to the judgement of our peers. They are not unkind. They will have made the same mistakes themselves.

Is this experiment devised by God? I think not. I hate hierarchy. I think the only God or Goddess that exists is Spirit- omnipresent, unstructured, playful- and that we're It.

(I'm thinking--and have been thinking--of my childhood pretending, wherein I imagined many dollhouses on the grass, and I was small enough to fit inside, and I could choose any one of them, and then, when bored, move on to the next.)

Have you looked into housesitting? If you sell your house you could move from place to place that way. Some people do that and never own a house.

I did once look into housesitting, Karen, and tried it once.

But the other person's stuff is always there, and I can't move it--

I stayed for three months in a woman's house for her, and she had hideous figurines on her mantle, and tacky things I didn't like all around--finally, her presence oppressed me.

I like the idea of having nothing in a space, and then slowly adding in interesting things.

And I love best the idea of moving on when I get bored with it all.

I need a portable, blank cube with one window and one door.

i sometimes wish that i could have a fire or something so that i don't have to move anything into my new house and so that i don't have to decide what to get rid of...

i have 40!!!!!!! (i counted them saturday because i was going to cull, but they are all still okay and i may wear them....) t-shirts for work. these are walmart "haynes her way" type t-shirts that all cost $8 or less and i wear them to work with jeans or skirts (i love working for a university library where i can wear jeans and a polo shirt with a "librarians control all knowledge" logo one day and a very nice dress the next day and a denim skirt and cotton blouse the next, and knit leggings with a tunic the next...and they are all okay becuase there is a minimal dress code and if people bitch about what i wear i can take it to the union rep....)

so, i have 40 t-shirts and they are each a different color and they are all wearable and i may have marcey go through and pull some for herself...but i ended up putting them all on hangers and into my closet because i can't get rid of anything!!!!!!!!

if everything disappeared and i started over...tc and sean tell me that in 6 months i'd have the same problem as before...

damn.

a portable blank room sounds wonderful.

...back to my dream of a quiet, empty white yurt.

A Tardis. I want a Tardis.

Then I could set up home in any place or time and move on whenever I got bored.

I see I have something new to learn about!

Off to read.

*falls over in shock* (Doctor Who is one of those things so basic to my experience, the idea that someone has not encountered it is overwhelming. :)

Dr. Who?

How did I miss Dr. Who?

[halfmoon-mollie.livejournal.com]

Funny...I know so many people who have NOT heard of Doctor Who that I am impressed when I meet someone who knows of him/them/er, ah...

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

But how splendid to have the Whovian universe to explore from scratch.

I was around for the first broadcast of the very first series- with William Hartnell.

[halfmoon-mollie.livejournal.com]

All Whovians know a TARDIS means Time and Relative Dimensions in Space.
I"m surprised, with all your other surprising knowledge that YOU don't know this.

I wish I knew more about how to do this in Europe. chuckle Wouldn't that be ideal??
