Is there such a thing as jet lag for a blog? I have been anxious the last few days about not being able to do my regular posts in my regular time frame. There is something about the rhythm and continuity of keeping to a schedule that feels important to me now as life becomes faster and more full of exciting adventures. It feels like a commitment to you that I must honor and I could not wait until Monday to make contact even though Friday is usually the weekend bibliography. Despite all the other activities coming at me, my blog is the essence of my project and I worry that if I lose touch with it, I will lose touch with me.
Jet lag occurs when travelers suffer from disrupted circadian rhythms. Writing has become for me part of the physical, behavioral and emotional change that occurs during a 24 hour cycle. It has become an aspect of my “master” clock. Impacted by external cues, like sunlight, writing for pleasure and about fashion for me is now an internal and external component of my circadian rhythm. Somehow I knew that my clock would not reset if I waited until Monday.
My dress is made of reflective material which is appropriate given my task this weekend. The photo is like I found Shanghai, modern but old. An in-between place where I felt very much part of. I have much to process and am excited to share. It is also the end of the semester (two more weeks). Although busy, the academic calendar is also a clock of sorts and I am used to that pattern too. So in the meantime, despite my blog jet lag let me say it feels good to be home.
I feel the same way about practicing the piano: it is part of my "master" clock.

I write every morning. First in English and then translate it into Spanish. It helps me stay grounded.

"Rhythm replaces strength." This quote is attributed to Rudolf Steiner. It has become one of my guiding principles! We truly function best when the framework of our lives is rhythmical. Travel is so wonderful–and even when we only are a 100 miles from home, we miss out on all the little rhythmic aspects of our home environment. But of course, we are also enriched enough by the fresh experiences to make it worthwhile–and then it is bliss to come home and reestablish normalcy! So enjoy that, and thanks for tantalizing us with your fabulous silver dress!

I feel the same way about my blog. It has kept me sane through rough time (when my husband was fighting for his life . He is now fine) as well as happy times. My blog is my home, my pashion and my voice.
I have been in Shanghai with you and your silver outfit make us all shine.
