The Mandelbear's Musings

So now that (in their terminology) I've chosen not to be a Landmark user, what now?

(Just as an aside, the "perfect and absolute blank" map from The Hunting of the Snark is still particularly appropriate: it has no landmarks.)

In this post, I'm not going to discuss what was useful to me in L (I've done that, at least in a sketchy way, in this post), and I'm not going to discuss why it's neither ethical nor safe for me to continue to try and get more tools from them -- that's covered pretty well here.

... and where I go from here.

Last week I wrote a song called "The River". It was all about love, friendship, and flow.

That is what I want to work on. It's going to be a process, a journey down that river. It's going to pull in things from the Tao Te Ching, The Art of Loving, The Art of Computer Programming, and who knows what else.

If you choose to walk with me, I'll be glad of the company. I think I can promise you some interesting discussions and perhaps some interesting scenery, if nothing else.

Thank you, friends. All of you.

(Final aside: future posts on this topic in this journey will not be friends-locked unless absolutely necessary; they may be cut-tagged if they get long. They will not mention L by name. You'll find them under the tag river; the next one will probably be a refined version of this one without the back-references.)
