Upward Spiral

I began composing this output at my parents house in South Bend Washington, the small town where I grew up and the place I’ve been living intermittently since June 2009. I had just returned from a three week stay in Tennessee and ten days before departing on my longest stint abroad, thus far. Inspired and excited to get back in Gaia mode, yet slightly overwhelmed by the mountain of to-do’s I had self prescribed, bits and pieces of this output were created. I thought that ten days of  ”unscheduled” time seemed a sufficient amount to begin and finish an output packet, however that estimation proved otherwise.

I landed in Mexico City October 8th, on a one-way ticket from Seattle. With no specific departure date, nor return flight, all I knew was that I’d be back in the Northwest to spend Christmas with my family. With two months time and three scheduled events, I again had much unscheduled for my stay in Mexico. Some of that time, about a week or so, I again opened my computer to work this output. There more bits and pieces came to surface but ultimately was left incomplete.

Now back in South Bend, four months after initiating this process and having various conversations with Jennifer, my advisor, I have decided to let go. An active experiment has intervened, thankfully, to assist me in submitting this output. The experiment is this; I have 3 hours total to “work” on this output, and not a second more. Regardless of what takes place during that time (checking emails, phone calls, smoking cigarettes, etc…) I will submit this output, regardless of what condition it is in! At this exact moment I have 1 hour and 34 minutes remaining and I still have to much to-do. Therefore this LIPD represents the current condition
