What we got here? Nothing but no thing to do. I’m thinking that the time around us just moves. We bob up and down. Weave through the orange cones. Move around. Dance or sit. Pick at scabs and dab at blood.

Think about things that we know or think we know. There’s a sense there’s something right to do or think or say or believe. There’s nothing about the life we “know” to be true or real or right. Waxing philosophical while we wane in our desire to figure anything out. We don’t realize that there’s not a lot heck of a lot to figure out but we strive to do it

What the hell? I’m just rambling. Thinking that I’m writing something profound and I’m eschewing the use of my delete key. Or highlighting and typing over. Just the spacebar. The spacebar. Highlight. Space. Highlight space.

Space. Space. Space.

3 spaces in the open field. A field of grass. Hay, dirt and leaves. Looking without seeing. Hearing withhout listening. Eating without tasting. Thinking without thinking.

“Acting without doing” or “doing without acting”?

Rambling.

Highlight. Space.

In the coming weeks, I’m going to start a series of articles on how to act your way back into psychological health. I’m planning on doing this series of articles for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is figuring out how to make the best use of my training as a licensed psychologist and the abundant free time that being out of academia has afforded me.

The standard disclaimer applies: these articles are not meant to be a replacement for a professional’s help. If you are or become suicidal, please seek immediate assistance. If you’re not already seeing a psychologist and you’re having thought of suicide, you should make a few calls.
