It’s “cocooning” season
Pondering
Ms. Pondo
As I assess;
Feelings -
Mind,
Intuition -
Body,
Instinct -
Spirit,
Werds…. Word…. Word OF mouth
Word sometimes I can’t get out as I am still walking along this process of honing my power
The scale is tipping
The light surrounds me
The pressure lifts me
Ohhhh how I can be so strong
But borderline that to being cold
Irony to my fire-y nature.
I am that walking art p(ea)ce with simple contouring outer lines
Outer lines
But the depth is what is complex
The depth is where many done slipped up and stayed,
Slept on
The depth is where I(eye) ponder
Upon self,
Upon you
Upon me
Upon I(eye)
Upon me
Upon arrival to many destinies
So I don’t end things before they start, I ponder
And INjoy my - THE process.

Each Morning Is a Unique Moment: Observing the Assembly of the Self
Every morning offers a unique moment—a space between sleep and wakefulness that is free from the usual structure of personality. In this brief interval, we can witness how the "self," with which we identify during the day, forms like a puzzle from fragments of memories, thoughts, emotions, and sensations.
The First Moment of Awakening: Pure Consciousness
When we first wake up, there is a fleeting moment when the mind is not yet active. There are no thoughts about tasks, problems, or plans. In this moment, there is only pure awareness—silence and a state of quiet observation.
The Mind Awakens: The Start of "Assembly"
Next, the mind begins to activate. The first thoughts arise: "What time is it?" "What do I need to do today?" "Where am I?" These initial elements gradually rebuild the familiar structure of the personality. Memories, emotions, and habitual behavior patterns then join in. If you observe closely, you can notice how the mind reconstructs the "self," linking the present moment to accumulated experiences.
The Role of the Body in the Process
Interestingly, the body plays a significant role in this process. Physical sensations, such as fatigue, tension, or comfort, often trigger emotional and mental reactions. For instance, slight pain may prompt thoughts about health, while the softness of the bed might evoke a reluctance to get up. The body becomes a tool that the mind uses to anchor identity.
Awareness as the Key to Observation
If you engage awareness during this time, you can observe the entire process from the outside. The personality forms automatically, but observation allows you to maintain a connection with that original state of pure awareness experienced before the mind activates.
What Does This Provide?
Observing the assembly of the personality offers several benefits:
Understanding its relativity: You see that the personality is a constructed, temporary phenomenon, not a permanent "self."
Preserving inner silence: Instead of diving into the stream of thoughts, you can remain the observer.
Starting the day with harmony: A mindful start sets a calm tone and helps you stay connected to the present moment.
A Practical Exercise
Try this simple practice upon waking:
Avoid jumping immediately into habitual thoughts and actions.
Spend a few minutes in observation.
Note the moment the first thought arises, how emotions begin to emerge, and when you start to feel like a "personality."
This straightforward exercise can be your first step toward a deeper understanding of your "self" and living in the present moment.
Conclusion
Each morning gives us an opportunity to peek behind the curtain of the mind and see how our personality is constructed. This understanding helps us realize that behind all these constructs lies something unchanging—pure awareness, always present. The more often we return to this state, the more harmony and presence we bring into our lives.

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

We are seldom fully present to life. Our body and mind are split between the fears of the past and the worries of the future. And yet our Spirit lives in the now. To be in the now means to be present entirely in each moment with our total awareness so we can consciously live our life. In doing so, we then are free of time and awake to our Self.

Right Now This Moment
In the silent darkness behind closed eyelids, a flicker of color sparks to life, growing and expanding like an impressionistic painting in motion. #kravis #midjourney
Right Now This Momenet In the silent darkness behind closed eyelids, a flicker of color sparks to life, growing and expanding like an impressionistic painting in motion. A cascade of vibrant hues and delicate shades dances across the canvas of your imagination, sometimes gentle and sometimes wild, creating a unique movie only for you. The opening scene of this grand theater takes you back in…

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

maybe never forgive. but things are different now. so we'll use maybe.
#my version of a happy ending au#mouthwashing#captain curly#mouthwashing anya#anya#curly#my art#considering this game takes place in a hellscape#i imagine one of the other horrifying angles for anya was that she might not even have the rights to abort the wound#so i like to think. curly. thinking he's going to die anyway. just takes all of the medical bills from his crew#because if he lives then he'll spend his life paying it all off#and if he dies. then he takes the burden with him#but him and anya are horrible horrible parallels now. and they cant NOT care about each other#he'll turn himself into the horse. he'll be the beast of burden. anything he said. anything#and for once he actually means it.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
#katniss everdeen#the hunger games trilogy#the hunger games#primrose everdeen#hunger games#batcavescolony reads the hunger games#suzanne collins#'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl#and this isn't negative just bffr girl#your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is#old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU#...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in#CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the#reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously#shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent#so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to#district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie#and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give#them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like#some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12#cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact#that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good#these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the#hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to#comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but#of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

Everyday take a moment to stop, breathe and let it all go. Put things in perspective by remembering who you truly are and what really matters in your life.

Embracing the Now: Finding Peace in Presence
Today, I was so busy that I forgot about time, and that was a good day. Time only exists when I stop to think about it, when my mind drifts to places it has not yet arrived. But if I don’t look for it, if I am completely immersed in the flow of doing, time ceases to be something separate. The future, that distant and elusive thing we constantly chase, is nothing more than a thought—an idea…
