I suppose I could rely on context clues to get this comment right. Or I could lean on John Mayer with some trite blossom blowing bs to help you along, but the truth is that you have helped yourself and others along. You've handled elegantly and eloquently something in which I might have been tempted to resolve with a foot up an ass.

You have explained, very poignantly, the Christian concept of "turning the other cheek". Also, how difficult it is to do.

oof. I'm glad you're finding peace. I went to lunch with some fellow castmates and all they did was gossip and complain the whole time, and I walked away feeling oily... just as you described.

A truly lovely way to look at it... but I agree with Crazymumma... sometimes you have to get ugly, especially when they involve your kids.

I love how you are able to see the world - really see it. And you write it all so beautifully. (The images, the metaphors...perfection).

I needed to read this. So often I feel that I'm the only one wading through that oily ick. I'm the only one with negative thoughts flowing freely from my mouth. I want to be better. I do. And yet? I want to be heard.

2009-01-28T21:32:00.000-06:00

okay aside from the fact that you write like a dream.

I think, and although I am happy you went to beautiful....that there is a place and a time for the ugly.

I hate it when I am bogged down in negative energy - I love that you have described the flight from it so well.

Even Buddha had his unenlightened moments. The trick for the truly enlightened is rising above and moving on.

Very nice piece.

Knowing that we can move and it is a strength really resonates w/ me. Thank you for putting it into words.

J, you are strong and fine , and your ability to give voice to this is powerful. Thanks.

This is exceptional! You even brought me out of lurkdom. Thanks for such a good post.. and a good reminder of the spiritual housekeeping we all have to do.

Ugh! I'm sorry this happened to you, but also glad you had the time and space to reflect on it this morning. Thanks for sharing.

Your wigs are spread so far, I can see them here. Fly, Julie. Fly.

2009-01-27T13:49:00.000-06:00

I dunno. Some people need to be taken to task because they spread their oil-and I hate to imagine how many people and children that person might spread it too.

I hold my inner peace much tighter now than ever, but people can bring out such monsters...monsters who are only bested when I fix the initial problem.

But that's me. :)

Good Lord, woman. Your writing blows me away every single time.
