| Dealing with DOPEY |
| Facets: |
* local pub watching racing on the big screen and betting * local club, drinking away days, nights * importance of "appearing one of the boys" * aussie blokedom * superficiality * talker * procrastinator * whiner * professional consummate "victim" * heavy drinker * spoke, never listened * low self esteem * "closed" personality.my mind is made up DO not confuse me with the facts * sees attempts to communciate and offers of suggestions as criticisms * a weak personality following his Father's pattern to prove his"manhood" * projects an "image" * tries to buy and impress his "friends" and relatives ( and I thought everyone grew out of that when they hit puberty |
| Tracking and defining ME |
* theatre - any live production * galleries and art * dinner parties with selected friends one or two drinks with someone special in a nice environment; armchairs... a roaring fire,.... a view.. * learning about others - becoming so absorbed, so entranced that day and night pass and flow around with barely an awareness * walking for miles and days * doer not a talker * in love with life and every moment * lives to learn, and grow * lives to communicate * open to new ideas, new ways, new approaches * deep and intense in everything * feels no need to prove anything to anyone, any more..... * just IS and becoming * music * beauty * movement, wind, storm, salt tang... |
