me

[drydem]

So, recently I have been renewing my acquaintance with myself. I have been exploring different facets of who I have been and what there is about me that is persistent. The trick of this, from an academic standpoint, is that identity can only be expressed in fragments. There is no trick of language that can express my totality. I have recently summed it up in metaphors of classical elements, geographical positioning and Taoist philosophy. But none of these are me. I cannot sum myself up, nor can I sum up anyone else.
Why do I say this? Why do I express this? Because the statements I feel the desire to make are incomplete. While part of me wants to post song lyrics, to post poetry, to post art, to post anything, I can't. Because nothing really means what I want to mean. As in touch with myself as I have become, it is such a Real feeling that I cannot share it. I cannot tell you who I am. But, you can meet me.

The map is not the terrain, but can be useful in expressing, negotiating or framing the terrain.

My posts are rarely deep. This is mainly because of what you so elequantly say here. I cannot describe me.

I cannot describe you. I do know, however, that you are a great person to be around, and when we manage to find conversation it is always good conversation.
