There is Light

Looking for the Light

The show “Rescue Me” has been filming in my neighborhood. The theme of rescuing has been running in my life since my layoff in November 2008. I appreciated the irony of them filming outside my door. I have taken several photos of the the camera and lights suspended above the neighborhood on a large crane. When the lights are out you might not notice they are up there.The crane is black and blends in perfectly with the night sky. But when the lights are on everything is illuminated. Read the rest here

forgetting

Writing, writing, writing. I seemed to have forgotten to write. OK, let me correct that I did write for a client- five articles and three reviews- in one weekend. My goal in 2009 was to start my Internet radio program. I have four shows under my belt. My last show was with Lable Braun. He was engaging and informative. A friend and I listened to the show yesterday and we both laughed. I stuttered through the introduction, the interview, the ending. Nonetheless, my guest was kind and said I was a good interviewer. I can only hope it was true.

But this in not about that it is about using time in a different way.  In Salon.com, Cary Tennis writes about a scheduling conflict for a reader. In his response he asks us to look at the conflict in a new way by reframing how we use time.

“Which makes one realize that time, which is also in its pure state incompressible, does, like water, seem to contain many bubbles; that is how we learn to manage time, and how one person can do twice or three times as much as the next person in the same period of time: We find the bubbles.”

In my case it is how I use my time. I don’t make the right time to do the things that matter. In preparing for my shows I spend the time to get the guests but not the time to think more about my questions or practicing my introductions.

I understand some of this is a learning curve thing. There is will be some clarity about the right things I need to do with my show to make it better. The first shows will leave on in infamy for me to marvel over. But for now I created a bubble of time to write this post. Maybe later a poem bubble will form.

Take care.
