How is it possible to be ”over-qualified” for so many jobs and yet personally feel like you know nothing?
How is it possible to have a resume with years of built up relevant skills and experience and yet not enough education?
What does any of this mean anyway? #clueless
Sometimes you wake up one morning and nothing makes sense.
You’ve been the cheerleader, the support group, the guide. You’ve made yourself smile every day even when you didn’t feel that way. But you know that sometimes it’s what keeps you positive instead of getting down. You make calls. Invite out friends. Work really hard at your job and do the best work you can and sometimes more. You’ve gone the extra mile. You’ve attended all the seminars, taken all the classes. Kept your house clean. You’ve kept your clothes pressed so that you can have something gorgeous to wear every day that inspires happiness and a little sex appeal in yourself. Sent beautiful cards to family and friends for no reason. Treated yourself to beautiful days of your favorite things. Taken walks just for the pleasure of the day or night. Tended your garden, and the millions of little things that you don’t even think about in the day just to be human.
Then suddenly it all goes wrong. It all feels wrong. What’s the point? What’s the purpose? Does anyone want what you give? Do you? Everything looks so ridiculous, vapid and ugly. And there is nothing that can soothe the pain inside that makes you feel utterly useless and most of all feel like giving up. Do you give in?
I do. I give in completely. It’s the only thing to do on those days. Because if I don’t give in I won’t make it out of that fire alive. And truthfully, all I really want is to live, fully, beautifully, with purpose and with intention.
From Here to Ear (v. 13) is the thirteenth iteration of an installation by French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. Primarily a sensory experience, the exhibit is meant to engage both visually and audibly as 40 finches hop delicately through a dense matrix created from hundreds of metal hangers causing vibrations and clinks that mix with the birds natural songs.
This was almost one year ago now - 600 kilos of potatos, 200 volunteers and a night of dosas and fries for 5,000 visitors and ashramites... We're all waiting to see what the fun will be for this years going away, pre-tour moments

…ok I’m listening! …and Leaping!
Yeah, it is! I work on my garden everyday because I love my hummingbirds and my red-headed sparrows who come and visit every day. They’re pretty silly and make me giggle. So yeah, a good part of my day is just enjoying their little tweets and hums for no other reason but joy. The flowers and feeders are for them. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Merely giving the people what they want is a shortcut to banality, mediocrity and invisibility.”
…I couldn’t agree more…are you ready for a challenge?
Burned out, bored and basically bewildered about the necessity of so many, violently crawling to the “middle.” All of the mediocrity I am recently and very suddenly, seeing, hearing, reading and experiencing is really depressing me.
I suppose everyone goes through that stage in order to get to the top. I’m sure I have too in any effort to just “get out there” with my idea, jump in the game. But do I really want to eat another 1/2 baked potato? Not really. I like my soul food to be fully cooked.
Personally, I’m just dying for a juicy, steak!
