In quotations,
From a dear friend.
"Outsiders seem to immediately equate polyamory with the prototypical "swinging" lifestyle; a shallow sex driven narcisistic constant orgy with little regard for any participant beyond oneself. This bothers me. In my admittedly short experience, the truth is closer to a constantly expanding family of highly individual people, each orbiting multiple others; rapidly reorienting on one relationship or another as they move through life; then swinging back around like some kind of eclectic comet. The metaphor holds true in a number of ways; when relationship goes nova or even just gets a little hot, the whole system is affected."

I do believe...
... This would be a great day to go mad. Anyone care to come along?
The weather today has shifted back to Oregon's normal pattern. It's beautiful mist like rain and cloudy skies, with a little kiss of sun at random moments throughout the day. Then a little blush of moon shinning through the clouds in the evening. Ah the comforts of home and the cycle of the wheel coming to an end.
Yesterday, one of my favorite authors (Robert Jordan) passed away. He had a disease very similar to the one my sister passed away from and that is now trying to claim my mother. He was in the process of completing the last book of a very eloquently well done fantasy series called "The Wheel of Time". Peace to him and his family this day. Although, I hope the bikers that threatened to desecrate his grave if he died before the books completion, were really jesting.
I feel like I am spending much time in solitude lately. I am not sure of it being a positive or negative influence on me yet. The fall is a busy time for everyone, including my family, my partners, and me. So, one day at a time, minute by minute, I have been working on the things that need to get done in preparation for the fall and the winter to follow, and await precious time to unfold itself and opportunity to enjoy other things in my life.
