Tonight was closure night for the couple's group I'm in. In other words, this was the last session in the couple's group. Last Thursday I closed at the men's group. At the men's group I definitely felt "finished", but I certainly didn't get that same feeling with the couple's group. A large part of this incompleteness for me has to do with the fact that Erika wasn't there tonight, and hasn't been for the past few sessions. That is because she chose to work on a new movie called "
Death to Smoochy". So, I felt sad at the fact that here I was again, alone, at the couple's group. To my credit, I said as much at the group. I am also aware of some resentment, and I've got this story that she's exited from women's group, deliberately came late to the intensive, and has ultimately exited from couple's group too. There are lots of highly rational reasons for all of this, and when I clear this with her next I see her, this is what I expect to hear. All I want to do is to get across that this
seems like a pattern.
I am aware of being very keen on starting a course next week based on "
The Artist's Way", starting next week at Inner Directions. Considering the amount of work ahead of me completely revising the
DV Website (and its many satellite sites), I feel I
need this. Finances will be tricky, at least at first, but I know this'll be good for me, and the time to do it is now.
At the end of couples group I mentioned that I had created this blog site. Am conscious of the fact that there are now some potential viewers of this Web site, and not just me. First, my obligatory apologies for the current sparseness of the site -- this will change. In fact, I fully intend this site to be somewhat of an experimental place for me to do push my skills in Web design and PHP. Since there is no email link on this site as yet, I'll add one to this message:
