But gordangit, serene doesn't have a foothold in my personality at all, and I have to struggle not to categorize the serene as pathologically passive. I do try. However, that serene stereotype never got under my skin as a "must try to be this" sort of thing.<br /><br />But I've always carried this picture of mastery in myself, that somehow I *should* be able to fixate on something and completely absorb it for the rest of my life and be satisfied with that. That *should* isn't working out for me, and as my beloved chiropractor said to me this afternoon, my gift is being conversant enough with a LOT of different modalities that I'm able to choose the right one for the task at hand, and synthesize hybrids as needed. Bless her for knowing me like that, we all need people to tell us who we are. But yes, that's what I do best, so I need to just abandon myself to my in-and-out, round-and-round shaoyang nature and maximize the benefit of it, rather than beating myself up for not being something else.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!Madcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557763096456837657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380605413166707395.post-36551941746957825992012-08-03T15:05:39.100-07:002012-08-03T15:05:39.100-07:00That's a beautiful story CG.....and I think pa...That's a beautiful story CG.....and I think paradoxical is the new 'normal'.

Many years later my midwife said, "Compassion isn't really your path." Well. So I think I do get this. This IS something to a "path", to not zipping a little this way, a little that. But if I'm getting shaoyang at all, it IS a "path" so to speak, a way of being.<br /><br />The really funny thing is, although I would still say that I just don't like people (mostly because they infuriate me), how peaceful and compassionate I have become.
