the other shoe

so, this johari thing has me thinking. first, i agree with you. it is hard to pick only five or six of these adjectives. they are certainly all traits most of us (i'm not meaning the general "us", i mean us, you and me) have to some degree or another. so we pick the ones that are more important to us. at this point in our lives. seven people participated in my johari window. 57% of people agree that flyingcrow is loving 71% of people think that flyingcrow is trustworthy 71% of people think that flyingcrow is wise thank you very much. two of those i didn't choose for myself. the ones i picked, accepting, loving, patient, reflective, adaptable, are obvious i suppose, if you know me, except the last one. adaptable was the only one i chose that no one else picked. that trait is what has allowed me to get through some things in my life that may have otherwise made me crazy. well, crazier than i am. wise. this one i didn't even consider. not that i feel that i am not wise about some things. if you are paying any attention at all, wisdom comes with age and experience, and i have more of this than most of you. i've been around the block enough times to know that three rights make a left... do you consciously set about to become wise? i mean, if you're not the dali lama? trustworthy. hmm. i almost picked it. then didn't. you can trust me, but there are things with which i don't trust myself... do ya have the balls to look at the other side of me and tell me what you see? i'm calling ya out...
