When I began this blog (three some odd years ago), I was
asked by many of my friends about the name.
By the way, I hate to disappoint anyone if they expected the use of correct
grammar or proper spelling because it twon’t be here and really the issue is
your expectations. –smirk- ANY WHO, the name. Sister Elephantine was sort of my own version
of big sister. Not sister in the
biological meaning of the word but in the spiritual. Elephantine, you can consult the Googler but
basically it means resembling the characteristics of an elephant, such as being
large, clumsy, and awkward. Originally I
intended to use this space to exabitionize (I’m certain that’s a word) my
journey into healthier living. Over the
past few years my view of what “healthier living” is has become more systemic
and thus more complicated. I said this
in my introduction (the words by the picture of myself looking super
therapeutic) but it is worth saying again.
The past two years of my life have been spent unlearning everything I
thought I knew just to learn it again, but experience it differently. Thus, Sister Elephantine is a name I selected
years ago to represent me. Though I have
a different relationship with the name now it still suites me rather well.
So today I felt like blogging.
Today my ego told me a little louder that I have something
to say and maybe I should start saying it.
However, my ego might be an unwashed stoner sitting on a couch dipping
crackers in ranch dressing and endlessly watching robot chicken. I’m not sure exactly what it is I have to say
specifically or add to what is being said.
Yet, I’m going to give it a chance.
I’m sure we can all agree there is a lot of pointless harmful chatter
floating around our heads and seeping into our hearts. I sincerely don’t want to add to the
chatter. Yet, undoubtedly I have already
in some way by simply submitting to my ego and posting this publically.
My hope is however, that this -add to- will be a good
one.
Lets say things better.
Blessings.
