Saturday, Part I: Concrete meaning.

One side affect of having been raised by a borderline is this: it's hard to believe in concrete meaning. Words liks "I love you" or "I hate you" or "Nice job" or "You're completely incompetent" all start to blend together, since they can be substituted for each other at any moment. It's one of the reasons why I have relatively few strong attachments to people.

The great challenge of my life, and one at which I've made significant progress, is to:

1) Realize that some things DO have concrete meaning, and
2) To act on those meanings every day.

That's all.

Love to all. Even you, the dude with the cracked molar.

I have similar obstacles to overcome, similar blocks to unblock. Thanks for that.
