On recent occasions I have had frequent reminders about where my mind use to be at? Is at? Discovering new complexities with each new person I meet. Discovering new ways of being. Full frontal embarrassment soon follows through. If an awkward moment had the power to change one I think I would be Paris Hilton by now, in the sense of being so far removed from my initial self. I am left wondering... Thinking... Sometimes it is harder to overcome the embarrassment, sometimes it is quite easy. Like many things it varies, depending on how great a moment it was. I often find myself in moments of movement I often do not know how to react to. What would be ideal is if we were all able to never experience such situations. However, it begs the question; without such situations would I be far removed from initial self? One could go forth and take note and not dwell. It is hard however, I do often think I am not likely to care in due course.

Life is a balancing act -SpooninLeads2Forkn- 2009-11-04 13:08:37
It's all in the mix. You're juggling chaos into formal thought. A sense of shame (the feelings of embarrasment & humiliation come from this) and a sense of humor (and the joy that comes with it)... these two seem to balance each other, one smoothing the others feathers. They're different for everyone - some people don't have humor or shame. I'm not sure you can have one without the other. So taste the irony that comes from embarrassment and forgive yourself for being human. It helps me to know "god" has a sense of humor, especially the ironic kind.

"I often find myself in moments of movement I often do not know how to react to" - then you are broken and reform yourself as best you can (or die?)... Some people go insane from being shamed/tortured too much/ abused too much (esp. childern). We are only fragile humans. You just do your best and know you'll f-up prolly anyway.
