ok… grrr…. i just wrote a post… or rather i was almost done writing one when i decided to check my mail … sort of …just to take a little brake from writing…
I should mention that usually I write an entry like this using a program with an auto save set so normally this doesn’t happen…
but on my keyboard there is a “mail” button and some other buttons.. for some reason i hit the refresh button …which would be perfectly understandable if the refresh button was the button next to the “mail” button… and my entry is gone 🙁
…it’s ok though… that entry was long and boring anyway… and since my head isn’t very clear…especially at this hour of the day… it was probably not making sense either…
I’m thinking a lot about the word “recovery” lately… trying to figure out what it means to me… trying to make sense of it somehow… But it is so many things… for me it is… there are so many things that I need to make better in my life… but really… “recover”… doesn’t that word mean to get something back?
How can one get something back if you don’t know and/or can’t remember how it used to be?
ugh sorry I’m so negative tonight…. i better just shut up for now
Makes perfect sense to me.
I tend to use the words creating, starting new and changing what needs to be different more than the word recovering.
How can you recover something that never was there?
((hug))
I tend to think of Recovery as arriving somewhere new, but without all the baggage that held you back in the old places.
I don’t comment much, Gabriel, but I’m reading all the time and thinking of you often. Big hugs to you…
In view of a shaman recovery would mean
to get back soul-parts/essence, that we
have lost during traumatic events!
There is a good book (that had introduced
me to shamanism) “Soul Retrieval: Mending
the Fragmented Self…” by Sandra Ingerman.
