I am well, thank you

I am well. I'm relaxed, fed etcetera.
I'm not sure what prompted this, but I'd like to see that it happens more often.

Was it the walk and talk at Chris' house? I was feeling a little off and cranky, and walked over to Chris' to work on the joint project. Meg was there. Diverging, we talked about the awkward balance that people walk, or drunkenly stumble, when it comes to interacting with potentially sexual situations. (I, for example, tend to stifle sexual communication under a professional demeanor.) Worthyness was forgotten as this conversation extended into walking around in the rain for an hour or more. It was good to be able to bring this up with others.
Was it the company? The exercise? The rain? The opportunity to discuss a variety of issues that cause me, and others, frustration? Was it the woman who gave me a free reiki treatment on the way back? Or was it just the fact that I had to stand still for a minute and relax when she did this? Was it the nutritious food that I ate?
On that note, and on the note of cultural design, here's a little sacrament for all of you: talk with other people from your social circle and discuss how you come across to other people. Ask "how am I received?." You need not, or perhaps should not, mention names.
Screw self-reliance: we need each other's help now and then. When this help is lacking, or when we suddenly realize that it exists, we stretch out, sprain ourselves, and impose on others as we despeately reach for, and flail at, an alternative to the terrible lightness of independence.
I'm going to go to bed soon, so I can get up on time for my 08:30 class with a full night's sleep. See you all soon.
