This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 12, 2008:
It depends. Most of the day my audience is a brilliant and high-powered three-year-old little girl. For my writing it's usually spiritually-minded green-type folks, mostly women, whether that is my writing group or strangers picking up a book of mine.
But those are the obvious answers.
I realized when my father passed away last May how much he had become my internal audience (Gestalt practitioners call it an introject). Everything I did was measured on some level against how he would see it - and I'm almost 33 years old! Often too it is my internalized husband. This realization made me squirm. I want the measure of my behavior to be my own witness or Spirit or guides or something, but of course it is largely an internal representation of those I want to please, of those I love and value.
