as the pain in my right shoulder presses me to migrate to analog methods for things i used to do on the iPhone, i am discovering that analog process is better for some (many?) things… the most recent is food and calorie recording… i note what i eat on 3x5 cards now… i have completely tracked my calories for three days… something i struggled to do with my chosen app… i use the app to look up calories of some foods, but i write the info down on the card and add it up at the end of the day… not coincidently, my weight is on a downward trend this week…

i have been moving to analog on a number of fronts, largely because of physical discomfort in my dominant arm/shoulder… persistent intestinal discomfort has led me, i realize, to another analog shift… instead of probiotics through pills, which were literally making me sick… i have decided to get probiotics through food, as humans have been doing for centuries… kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, live culture cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, and other probiotic foods are now part of my daily diet… the improvement in my intestinal comfort and health has been quick and amazing…
yesterday I was grateful for the two men who greeted maxi dressed and red lipsticked me warmly, and a movie with Holly…
today I am looking forward to physical therapy and dinner with Donna and Karen…
i have this idea that being an anomalous presence on the street opens up minds and creates space for others less brave than me… that being the self i want to be helps open space for all kinds of being of selves as they want to be…
this morning, in front of the Yankee Clipper diner… an older white man in t-shirt, shorts, sneakers, socks… standing beside his car… i take him to be waiting for the diner to open… unexpectedly, he says good morning and asks me how i am doing… he is not the sort of man i expected to exchange pleasantries with me… he looks conservative… i am wearing a sleeveless gray knit maxi dress… necklace, bracelets, and dark red lipstick… i am pleased with the way he seems to accept me as i am… i wish him a good morning and move on with a smile…

men should learn that embracing feminine qualities is not a failure of manhood… to be egalitarian, nurturing, centered on power with, not over, does not make a man incapable of manliness… anymore than a woman’s being assertive and authoritative makes her incapable of being womanly when she wants to be… the qualities of masculine and feminine can be embraced and enacted by men or women… we need a culture that values a fluid masculine/feminine spirit…
