Circles

It feels like I'm meeting more of the people I'm supposed to be meeting. [livejournal.com profile] iroshi. [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa. [livejournal.com profile] nalidoll. [livejournal.com profile] gremliness. And they're meeting each other, in places.

And it's Working.

What, exactly, I'm not sure. But it does.

It works because it's meant to. I get a good vibe all around, just from the idea of all those folks and you in a circle.

I would agree. I seem to be having that whole necessary-connections thing occurring in my own life and spreading out in ripples, too . . .

Have you noticed, in reading my old entries in 2000, that I actually had a date deadline for Getting My Shit Together? Summer of 2004. I have no idea why that was the deadline, mind you, but given how many people we know that have the Feeling that Something Big is Happening...makes you wonder what's going to be happening next summer, ne?

And I, too, get the feeling of connections solidifying, the web of needed people weaving together...

There is nothing wrong with fear. Fear is perfectly natural. I wouldn't want to do anything Really Big without my normal partner at my back, either. How many cops would want to be in the thick of it when things are going down without their partner? How many soldiers want to be stuck in the middle of a new platoon right before enemy action? That's *normal* to want the partner that you're used to working with, that you can Trust, and whose instincts, reactions, and abilities you know at an instinctual level.

That's not weak. And Knowing Yourself is never, ever the wrong thing, even when it is weak. Even if it *were* a weakness (which this isn't), it's always better to know where your weaknesses are, to be able to protect them, and play to your strengths.
