Karen’s Thoughts #9: The Fear

“My worst enemy.”

The thing that I REALLY hate about myself is

the fact that I can over-think the hell out of things.

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE INTELLIGENCE… but

sometimes I feel like there needs to be some

sort of filter that won’t let me

obsess over uselessness.

Catatonia is not something my friends

would ever associate with me,

but I’m so good at hiding it that how could they know?

If you were to ask me what I’m afraid of the most

this would be my answer: doing nothing.

Linian Lessons #3: Mystics

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This will be a real quick lesson for the day

…so listen closely.

The founding father of our Linkatsa Religion,

Linkera, married a woman named Seraph

a long time ago.

She had a father named Calm and a brother named Carious.

It was not completely understood by all parties involved,

but through their marriage, everyone in Seraph’s

bloodline received mystical powers.

At some point later on, Calm and Carious started to call

themselves Mystics.

Their powers came from humanity’s

collective spirit and their powers were

near infinite.

But someone or some people from behind the scenes

(or the spiritual plains?)

limited the Mystics powers

for either their own purposes

or just to make sure that the Mystics

could not dominate existence on a whim.

Mystic Calm considered both his son and himself

to be “gatekeepers of existence.”

He felt they were meant to only to keep the

“plot of life” from being derailed.

Karen’s Thoughts #8: Goalpost

Where is that LINE and how far do I have to go?

In my time at high school,

I always knew I wanted to be a journalist

and I knew exactly what steps I needed to take

to get there.

(It helped that I knew Rachel Fairs.)

So it’s kind of hard for me to

relate to those who have no idea

of what they want to be.

It seems like a lot of life is aimless

and most of us are just shuffling around

looking for something the inspire us.

I think you have to make a mark in the distance

and aim to reach it.

It doesn’t have to be far,

but as you reach it,

start to draw another line as you cross the first one.

Just keep making those marks

and you’ll never be aimless…

Karen’s Thoughts #7: Comrades

Yes TLC…what about YOUR friends?

When I was a young buck in the 90’s

I never had a problem making friends

despite having to keep most of my life a secret due to being

a Linian.

I could keep people near me spiritually, if not

personally.

My mother always made it a point to tell me

it’s not what people know about you

that makes you their friend,

it’s your unconditional support in the face of mutual respect.

But now that I’m in my 30’s,

I’m seeing that the older we get

and the more damage we accumulate

in our separate life journeys,

we pile on conditions that

don’t allow for those pure connections.

It’s painful to realize that we all can

speak the language of friendship but

we filter ourselves due to a fear of

vulnerability.

How can we destroy those filters?

I ask myself that everyday…
