How not to relax.

[learnteach]

Went to 5 Rhythms dance tonight. Tried to clear the air with a few people going in, no one picked up phone. Go in, change out, start dancing. Stretch out...lot of sore spots. Get dancing. Friend shows, say hi, we hug. She asks me what you can dance to a particular piece of music (rag cakewalk). I tell her, about 7 words total. Guy comes over, puts his hand on my shoulder, says "Can you take your conversation to the side?" WTF? Whatever. Ok, I'm obviously off center.

So, take a short break, get a drink of water, come back on the floor, start getting back into the rhythm. Moving away from dude flailing to the left of me, start to turn away, he throws arm spastically up and back and smacks me in the face, left cheekbone and eye. I see red for a second, walk off, figure I'm done.

What is it with me in this last week? I've been hit more than in the last 4 months, taken more injuries, had more friends ignore requests or push them, had 3 job possibilities fall through...what is it? What is the message here?

Or is it time to go for the 7 deadly sins in earnest, and start working on Anger and Envy again?

It's not just you. Last week I had 3 strong job possibilities - one of them described as a "sure thing" by the hiring person, and this week *poof* NOTHING. Things are coming up shit this week for some reason.
It's not you. It's a hard time, a dark time, the general feeling of foreboding and smallness is starting to wear into people and they're lashing out and turning small-minded.
It's a time to band together for goodness and light.
