The Twilight Conversations

Sometimes we gotta make a stand, even if that means being excluded or shunned by society, the group or the relationship..Is your truth/integrity up for sale? If so, at what cost? Can I hold my head high? Look myself in the eye & rest easy on the pillow? Lets be our own best friend, any other is a beautiful bonus!

Here's the concluding episode to this trilogy exploring the healing journey. I'm sure we'll visit these themes again. The focus here is: what’s right for us? How do we really feel about ourselves? How should we expect to be treated by others? What fundamental principles/qualities are non negotiable-no mater how cute you are, or regardless of your fancy lines & seductive promises?

What do we mean when we say: I'm dealing with, I'm working through, I'm getting over something etc? What exactly does that involve? What's best possible attitude for such a venture? So another trilogy for you, in part 1, I try to identify this process, put some shape on it & shine a little light on the pathways forward..

What's it all about Alfie? What is the meaning of life? Why do we do the things we do? What are we looking for? This is part 1 of an exploration into existential themes such as death, Loneliness, personal choice, freedom & responsibility. It's more than possible that if we can find purpose & meaning in our lives, it becomes bearable…& maybe even enjoyable.

‘One has to accept pain as a condition of existence, one has to court doubt & darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to the total acceptance of every consequence of living & dying…Morris West from The shoes of the fishermen..

Deliverance (1972)

In the episode, I explore the energy exchange in relationships, what we bring to the table, what we expect/hope for from the other. Sometimes There's misalignment/mismatch & we need to re-evaluate our choices. Either way we need to invest energy with good intention. Are you a giver or taker? Do you expect a free ride without giving something of yourself? Or do you feel ripped off, looted by the other?
