Insane Sanity.

I can only maintain my sanity by being insane.

I've become obsessed with transcendence, not surprisingly so since I've never been very earthly. I'm not implying that spiritual rapture and earthliness are exclusive opposites, but that my innate tendency has always been to dream with open eyes. In fact I've been practicing my observations of the mundane and I'm starting to find meaning in everything, almost to the point of absurdity. Sometimes I can't help but to communicate these musings to other people, who often take my remarks as the stereotypical sign of my eccentricity.

I was going somewhere with this, but Phil came over and I spent some time talking to him him. I'm glad he visited, he needs time on his own or with friends he trusts to define his own identity, then he can devote time to his marriage with Danielle re-energized. Everyone needs time to pursue their own true identity, it could be spiritual or creative development, reading, meditation or just idle chatter with a casual friend. No matter how much I get into my head, I want to be available for my friends and family.
