4 things + 1: V-Day Edition
- Well friends, it’s Valentine’s Day weekend, which doesn’t mean a whole lot to me this year. Were I in the States, I’d be excited because there would be all of this good candy to buy myself in honor of the occasion.
- I have tried to continue reading Gate of the Heart: Understanding the Writings of the Bab by Nader Saidi. It’s one of the first overviews of the works of the Bab which are highly metaphoric. My main goal has been to get as many salient points as I can by skimming and then hopefully going back to go more in depth. It’s slow going, but going forward at least.
- I may have felt like I haven’t done anything too useful on my Friday off, but I have been tweaking a few things in Photoshop. The above picture being one. It’s not finished; I had no clear aim in my head except to represent an alternative use of love in light of the holiday & I wanted an excuse to be creative.
- The following Web site is pretty sweet, especially if you’re looking for a few Writings to read every morn and eve.
- Rest assured, I’m sending my love, from Haifa.

4 things
- I’ve been super motivated at work to take on more of the complicated projects. Sometimes I wonder what I’m getting myself in to and anticipate that at some point I’ll be stuck and unable to pass on some messy assignment. I guess it’ll be good for me to learn my limits and to give myself a little more confidence; I think I’m still hesitant to trust my judgment. In the meantime, I double check with my co-workers for reassurance.
- I’m feeling the impulse to get back to my creative roots. brainstorming. daydreaming. sketching. researching. writing. doing something, anything. attempting to break through restlessness/anxiousness long enough to sit down and produce something. small breakthrough tonight. sat for an hour and drew. preparing tea-stained paper for tomorrow’s experiment.
- Overall the theme is breaking out. creating new patterns. destroying the old. getting the hell out of my own way. wondering if I can do it, but knowing that inevitably my behavior will manifest itself in a new way no matter what.
- Enjoying being on the receiving end of spontaneous displays of being cared for and wondering how to pass it on.
