Sorry you were assaulted.

I've always wanted to travel. Where have you traveled to? What's your favorite place? Why?

Standing up for yourself at work can be tricky. Do you work around a lot of racism or sexism? What do you do for work?

Where do I think our energy moves to? Everywhere! Some energy is more energized so it would be clingy like bellybutton lint. :) While others would float on.

How'd you come up with Thewindow? Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland or a Stephen King title. :) Pretty cool!

Always,

David,

I traveled around Scandinavia. It was absolutely wonderful. I felt so at peace, so unstuck from the ticking of time.

(A sidenote on time: I saw the short film The Eagleman Stag the other day and it opens with the line, "When I was four years old, I was so upset that I wouldn't have my next birthday party for another quarter of my life." Made me think a lot about how time stretches.)

I don't think I've dealt with any sexism, just gender differences. For example, men can tend to speak more of their opinions in larger groups and women in smaller groups. Gross generalizations, but they're useful to keep in mind to not take some things personally. Standing up for myself has more to do with my own psychology and insecurities. Have you dealt with that before?

I'm flattered! It's from a poem I wrote long ago.. but I loooove Alice in Wonderland!

Best,
thewindow
