A 4th Step is basically belly button gazing. 12 Step stuff...AA...Alanon...NA type stuff. It states, "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves." I do one every year at my AA BirthDay (which I just celebrated)...reflecting on the year past...where was I, growth achieved, areas to continue working on, and new awarenesses.
Funny...you were raised in those rooms...with 12 Step folks, but I realize you and I haven't talked much about this aspect of my life. Odd that...considering we've talked about so many other things.
This last year has been an eye opener in a lot of ways. Huge leaps in awarenesses, and understanding on so many levels of my life, T. I'm still processing a lot of it really.
Curiously...one of the things I've addressed is that concept you wrote about..."Perceptionism". Perceptions...the only one I have is my own. Sometimes? It's a false perception based on what I 'want' rather than what's really in front of me...i.e. even given evidence to the contrary. I'm afraid that I do that far too often, actually. It ties in with expectations, and denial, too. Some good stuff...little bit different slant to your idea of perceptions. Yeah...an excellent conversation when I see you this next summer.
Colder than a witch's tit here today. Supposed to get down to 18 tonight. *Shivers in me boots*
Smooches ya...love ya...yer Motha

Yes, strange that we have discussed so many aspects of life besides the 12 step days. Especially considering the meetings I took Nicole to. This past year has also been a tremendous learning experience for myself. I have gone through far too many situations I never thought imagineable, and am now the better for it. However, as you say, I am still processing the copious amounts of information I have gathered about myself.
REFLECTION
I wake to you
See you everyday
You look back at me
Eyes so cold
Soul so distant
Heart so diminished
Mind so confused
I wake to you
See you everyday
You look back at me
Who are you?
Why are you lost?
What can I do to help?
Where will we go from here?
I wake to you
See you everyday
You look back at me
Yet, I keep looking in the mirror
I love you mother, have a great day. Make sure to use the updated software when you are downloading all that new information, wouldn't want your motherboard to crash, lmao.
Yeah...odd. Not sure why. It's not something I feel a need to hide, or anything like that. Not at all.
I'll continue this in my blog...k? It's gettin' kinda long. Love you...MothaBoard is online...chuckles...love you, Boo
