Dilettante's Diary: the internal dialogue of a hedonist bluestocking.

I am a dilettante. I know quite a bit about a lot of things, but I don't know enough to be an expert on anything. I have a very sensual, hedonistic nature, but I am also a thinker, and I aim one day to be worthy of the label 'bluestocking', despite its pejorative connotations.

This is my journal, which, delightfully enough, doesn't have to go wherever I go, but is accessible from nearly everywhere I am.

Awareness

The sensuous experience of the body is one of complex, interconnected processes that never remain the same from moment to moment. Nor are these developments just physical. Emotions and thoughts find expression through the body, creating sensations that often become lasting physical states. Tension, relaxation, bouyancy, indigestion, stiffness--these are the legacy of my mental and emotional activities. Being conscious of what is happening in my body and my mind creates state of awareness that allows me question the contradictions between the sort of person I wish to be, and the reality of who I am.
