when i was a gay little boy who& #39;d recently played myst on cd-rom i& #39;d lay in bed imagining little private islands of my own set up with buildings and gardens of my own design. i& #39;d explore, tend the plants, interact with objects.
anyway i& #39;ve been trying to do the journeying in six ways and it feels really similar, like, in a bad way. i know the very good advice is that you& #39;ll feel like you& #39;re making it up but you won& #39;t be, but... it just feels like playing pretend.
i have a powerful urge to curate. to design every little element of my environment. i feel like this is antagonistic to authenticity in journeying, but that means I& #39;m in a position of only trusting things i don& #39;t like and don& #39;t want to engage with.

tall, standing, veiled, folk-saint posture, palms out, hands relaxed, one pointing up, the other down, wrists near the center of the chest, crowned, no baby, face and hands black ebony, can& #39;t tell the color of the robes
who the heck is this statue in the middle of my watchtower and in a hermitage cave four layers below it?
unnamed path guys: and then you& #39;ll meet the ancestors of mEn WhO lOvE mEn dancing around a great bonfire in a great gay celebration embracing and dancing and doing ghost poppers or w/e :) :) :)

my jungian-ass subconscious doing the stage direction for joirneywork: actually,,
