Quixotic Order

Because sometimes tilting at windmills is just the right thing to do... My random thoughts on a lot of things... Poly and in relationships with Huntress (wife) and Mae. Have both of them, plus Huntress' boy under my roof... Any images shared here were found on the Internet unless otherwise identified.

I have been away from here for a while to deal with some sudden health issues. It is pretty serious and the prognosis is very guarded at the moment. I will try to get back to more regular involvement on here, but there are no promises. If you are interested in what is going on, reach out to me directly. I am not quite ready to out everything out here yet. Quixotic

Life has dark moments and it is out of our darkness that we often find our greatest beauties and strengths. — Bryant McGill

Start the daily practice of not letting the little things bother you! If the little things ruin you what’s going to happen when the big things come along? Start practicing now for your big challenges in life. — Bryant McGill

You are the observer who watches your emotions as they push, pull and stretch you. The beauty inside of you is unmovable. Your deepest and most truthful self does not care about trends, times, struggles, losses or worries. Your deepest self is free from the world’s petty, made-up demands, judgments and expectations. You love yourself and you are happy, and what you perceive as self-loathing and misery are really outside of you. Quit trying so hard and sit quietly with yourself and you will see that there are no demands within you. Only your surface is disturbed; in your deepness there is stillness and total tranquility. Only your surface feels empty and longing; in your depths there is a firm weight of fullness. — Bryant McGill

Sometimes we hurt ourselves the way we struggle and resist. Not just force; but finesse. Not just battle; but tact. Acceptance can be its own form of dominant resistance — because survival is resistance. — Bryant McGill

The more something upsets you, the more it is meant for you. When it no longer upsets you, it is no longer needed because the lesson is complete. — Bryant McGill

If you work hard and have integrity you can accomplish anything, but never expect a single soul to be happy for you. Do it for you! — Bryant McGill

When you commune with your ever-present inner calm, you are released from the madness and pain of all outer turmoil. — Bryant McGill

What frustrates you right now will be over one day, and believe it or not, you will miss something about it. So look at your challenges with a degree of appreciation. This may be where you are now, but not tomorrow, and when that time comes you will realize that it all had great purpose in your life. — Bryant McGill

I often don’t say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you’d never guess from looking at me.
