Deep Calls to Deep

Someone recently made the comment that my posting has been light. At first, I took it as a quantitative statement. A few hours later (I am on the "pick-a-number" mode this month), it occured to me that the person was speaking of the qualitative value of my posting.

EXTP that I am, I use extraverted intuition and introverted thinking to understand the world around me, to analyze and make sense of it, to give it order. I am always thinking. When my body is tired, my heart is full, and my spirit heavy, my brain becomes overloaded. To quote: "Under stress, the ENTP may lose their ability to generate possibilities, and become obsessed with minor details. These details may seem to be extremely important to the ENTP, but in reality are usually not important to the big picture." The things that I have been examining are things about which I have not the freedom to discuss, and that is typically what I do on this blog: write about that which is churning rapidly or calmly flowing through my soul. The writing process manufactures perspective for me. Wading into all that permeates me and that has left a mark somewhere on my being, I find that writing helps me organize the thoughts that might not damn my soul, but would provide for me a miserable mortal existence were they not examined.

So, if the blog is silent on things of the deep, it is simply because they haven't yet broken surface, or because I must keep them under for awhile, and that isn't easy for me to do.
