My one act today to support everyday Iranians was to see if Ushahidi.com had anything going. It is being designed in the face of troubles in African news gathering but was used in reaction to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. It's a combination of crisis response and citizen journalism, but there's no clear availability of the tool for bloggers and journalists.
I am now backed up beyond back, synced beyond sync, with crochet and reading and water and cheese and veggie nibbles for the plane. I'm a little irked i'm going two timezones away. I think my Texas geography confusion comes from driving to Los Alamos, NM (from Orlando, FL) through El Paso one year and through San Antonio another and somehow co-locating them.
I do wonder at my sense of transformation, a (guilt?) sense i should be morning writing "better" than i am (more introspection, more regularly). I wonder about balance -- social media connections have boomed with Facebook, yet LJ still seems quiet. Re LJ: is it summer? Westwardho doesn't see much movement at DreamWidth (i am basically double posting at both LJ & DW with LJ as most complete repository). I recognize my cycle in the year and honor that maybe outward is OK right now.
I read The Artists Way chapter on ... Integrity? ... last night, where Cameron asserts that we drop the morning pages because we're afraid of painful revelations. I think i can point to evidence that i have pursued writing through painful revelation, but i do get caught up in a loop of self doubt. I don't think i can afford those loops, and i'll choose to be confident in my sense.
