I love folks tales best, and Coyote stories top them all. On occasion I've been known to recite "How Coyote Got His Cleverness (Or, Why Coyote Doesn't have Fangs or Claws)."

I guess. I don't know if people care to click - on facebook it's actually easy to avoid clicking through to formspring - though they could ask questions in the comments (tho not anonymously). I think people don't usually think in questions so the few who had one ready to go asked already. I don't think I have one question I'm dying to answer, I think. I go on enough about myself on my journal whenever I do have a particular subject in mind. Maybe, I think I'd like it if people asked about things I haven't thought about. Subjects in my blindspots, trees in the forest I live.... I know there's stuff I miss and I need other people to point that out to me.

Not in any real order, and not really a definitive list:
1. keeping on top of logistics, especially for other people. Time, places, people, things; I get them to where they need to be.
2. Daydreaming. And occasionally writing the daydreams down in a way people get and enjoy.
3. distracting myself, procrastinating.
4. Going all in during a particular moment or a particular effort.
5. Getting stuck. -
Well a hawk is a bird of prey and therefore a living thing. It's dangerous and somewhat beautiful, dive bombing its meals at terrifying speeds and keeping away from other animals on lonely perches. A handsaw is a man-made tool and thus an object animated only by manipulation. Typically only one edge is the dangerous blade and while it might prick if you touch it, it really only does its nasty work through repeatedly crossing the cut site in order to tear it apart. Distinguishing the two is reasonably simple; hence the ability to differentiate is noted - in a convuluted sort of way - as evidence of the ability to reason (and therefore a negation of madness). So long as the wind is southerly.

Here's a dichotomy I've been trying to figure out for a long time now: Intellectually, I find it very easy to argue for Skepticism. I do better in dialogue when I take the side of empirical facts against attempts to take anecdotal incidents and turn them into universal expectations. But in truth I don't believe these arguements as the end-all, be-all. In other words, I'm skeptical of Skepticism. I don't disbelieve in soulmates, but I do think it's irrational. Just... I don't advise anyone to live solely by what is rational. There's so much more to life than reason.

I don't have a solid theological sense (or even much of a vague one) for getting at what angels are. Little undercurrents of energy from the divine that push the dynamism of creation. sure, maybe. Don't ask me to explain that. The most sure I've felt is after car wrecks. I've walked away unscathed from more than a couple that should have ended me...and allowing myself the sense for something beyond what I can see and feel + massive amounts of anxiety and adrenaline easily leads me to believe *something* is looking out for me. I'm not big on the figurines though. Maybe my best answer is "...I guess?"

I totally have no idea. Firstly, I have no idea how to parse your question because I don't know much about formulaic task management that I didn't develop and also because I don't know how to divide (and assign) labor. So i just don't even know how to respond to your second question besides just pointing out that that divide already seems to happen, though it seems to be more between people who get shit done and those who laze about assuming someone else will get the shit done. I think anything can be learned by anyone willing to learn it. But that comes from my idealistic attitude, not anything that's based on evidence.

Older than some, younger than others; wiser than many and more stupid; often tougher than you and more fragile. I know a hawk from a handsaw.
