Information overwhelm

by Brooke

Exercise in Draining

I am training
to squeeze (absorb?)
information
from where it
is plenty
or scarce.

Sometimes it
will build up
so that I
almost burst
and I would
for certain
if you caught
me off guard.

So I get
information,
I hold it,
and then learn
to drain it
properly.


What do you do when it feels like there’s too much information coming at you?

  1. Brooke, I can definitely see where this is coming from, given the fact that you are training professionally to deal with information in an orderly way. 🙂

    I have to impose limits on information, or else I’ll become overwhelmed and lose the ability to manage my time. Which is why I seldom visit other blogs other than Exponent.

  2. Duck.

    But I know I’ve become an info-junky, and I don’t mind it so much. I love learning, knowing, sensing, staying connected.

    Especially when the info experience is also beau*tiful. (Hello, iPad. Don’t you want to be my friend?)

    But often I run/walk without music, because the sounds of birds are also intoxicating.

I thirst and hunger for Something else, for Someone else. My Heavenly Mother? And so I pause. I meditate. I wonder what it means to also be connected to a Divine being that is female.
