There are times when I totally lose interest in people, causes, issues I once felt so passionately about.  It's like some switch is activated and all the energy around an issue just floats down a dark hole.  Some times this loss of interest is caused by a real change in me.  In my priorities, my value system, my sense of justice, all sorts of triggers can bring this about.  However when the interest is gone, it's much like a rubber band that has been stretched past the breaking point.  That magical moment cannot be reconstructed.  I just move on.  But then there are other times, when I think I'm ready to let go of an issue but like a bulldog I tug it right back.  It's like I leave claw marks on the issue in my effort to let it go.  I say this is the end, but it's really just a u-turn.  When I'm in one of these no/yes/no/yes predicaments everyone involved is miserable.  The intensity of each encounter increases and I find myself in the opposite situation from energy going down a dark hole - this energy is hot, sticky and expanding.  These situations generally resolve amicably, but darn it's a steamy ride!
