Jim McDonald, author of Who Would I Be Without, an impassioned new novel about one man's quest for peace from the quiet desperation of a disengenuous life.
What to say about ME? What to say about THE BODY NAMED JIM MCDONALD?
Well, these About pages can be a wonderful opportunity to learn about self. I find I have much resistance to writing about myself in a direct, I, I, I manner and yet, if I am honest with myself, I love talking about ME. So, without much thought at all, here is what comes up when I put fingers to keys and let the ‘self’ spill…. this is what comes up today – who knows what tomorrow would surface.
I am… (strong inner sense to stop there, but i will continue).
47 years of life experience. LIMC after my name, 18 years corporate Training & Development, 44+ years asking others to tell me who I was, 3+ years freeing who I am and yet who I am is already answered, I am. maybe the correct question is what am I, rather than who am I.
Sibling of two, child of two, parent of none, husband of none, alone a long time – no longer. Music – trumpet player of past, keyboard player of past, lover of music of present (most genres as long as the sound quality is good). School, not so much – did not enjoy school, at least that is what i tell myself now.
Student of Life, Student of Experience. Emerging deep inner knowing that brings tears of sensed joy and passion in seeing past fear and joining in innocence and purity. Giver of what’s been given, receiver through giving, emerging from 3 years in cave to find quality in doing – no longer doing driven by fear and quilt….
what else?
fingers stopped for a few minutes, must be nothing else for now.
