Good Morning, I am "TotemWood Thomas"
or "TW Wrok."
TotemWood is going through renovation, a refinement in
direction. . "The Great IS," Is NEW!
I would like to blather along but most folks are averse to that,
I will accept that and go on
Besides? I have many more things to do!
I have deleted many things from TotemWood. I
will use TotemWood to focus upon new directions, or cut back to
directions I have had for some time.
The Great IS, is written around the concept of "thinkers."
Those with no willingness to THINK? Are
better off with TV anyway... -wink.
The Great IS is now up and running, It is located here:
http://www.thegreatis.com/

For those who have come here to learn more about the author?
I have been trying to "thin down" my site, "winnow away the
chaff" so to speak here. Provide a focus, for further
broadening is one way to say it I suppose.
Keep in mind that areas of my brain that were severely damaged,
remain so. I continue to search for ways, some might say
at times non traditional in some aspects, to find work arounds
that will allow me to grow farther, yet not kill me as I do
this. -grin. It is not always an easy balance to
achieve, nor does it always result in my intended goals.
LOTS of simple failure. After twelve years however?
That is no "biggie" either, something I have come to accept.
Recumbent Triking remains a constant, in one way or another.
When ever possible. They remain one of the only positive
things in my life that promote growth, and with that comes the
second thing that also promotes growth, that being art in one
form or another. An "artist?" Some have said so, I don't
know how GOOD one I am, but yes, it is a focus for me today,
much more than many yesterdays. Triking helps me in that
regard, in many ways.
There ARE road blocks that come up. Financial, and
epilepsy related besides the rest. However? The
result in time, continues to be positive. The proportion
of negative in my life has been quite large. Positives in
any form have been cherished. They are MORE COMMON at
least sometimes, with Triking and Art in ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.
As The Great IS says, "One is either growing or dying."
I continue to strive for growth, in some manner.
I was never, and continue to
NOT be "brilliant" or anything of the sort. What I
continue to be is "willing." There can be a difference,
but often "willing" is more important I feel.
There are many areas of ones brain. IF each are treated
as individuals and part of a "team" that can be called "ones
self," then of course a manager must be placed "in
charge." That manager must have a "superior" as well, and
for many, with good reason, that delves into personal
spirituality, and I will leave that alone on this page, perhaps
all my pages. It is individual after all.
The concept of "proper management of a team" however?
Remains I feel quite accurate and important. For survivors
of brain injury, or anyone. There also from that "managers
standpoint," OTHER variables or outside influences that will
help determine how well goals are chosen as well as
accomplished. This too remains true for everyone, not
"just" those whose brain was injured.
In my case? Many of the resources I have at hand have
either been limited or negatively influenced by outside factors.
Some are good, some are what generally are considered too be
"bad" or at least very painful.
The Great IS's words return to me again and again.
Today? I am finally finding some positive influences
that were not available before, and even had I been aware of
them, it is doubtful I could have managed to access them or put
them to the much better use I can today. My life has been
enriched over the past year or so by those influences and
resources. Something I am more than aware of, something I
am sincerely grateful for!
I will NEVER be who I was-I am frankly? "Damaged too
much" for that. It is my sincere HOPE however, that
somehow I will find a way to make what little is possible,
positive and thus provide not just myself with a route toward
more growth in some small, even tiny way, but others as well...
Sincerely,
Thomas... |
