Spring and the Trial Moon<\/p>\n
Monday gratefuls: The Ancient Brothers. Safety. May. Spring. The beauty of the Lodgepoles. The Aspens leafing out. BJ and Pammy.<\/p>\n
Rene Good and Alex Pretti. Say their names,<\/p>\n
Sparks of Joy and Awe: Mac and cheese<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kavannah:\u00a0 Zerizut.\u00a0 Zest and Zeal. Enthusiasm. Risking a gray, homebound life. Need a push. Good for another week. Still at risk.<\/p>\n
Tarot: paused<\/p>\n
One brief shining: I pull out mac and cheese. Plate it and warm it. Perhaps a frittata instead. No? A drumstick, blueberries and strawberries. Maybe. Having a refrigerator stocked with ready to eat food. Melissa, my visiting angel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Visiting Angels. A palliative care nurse. A social worker. Melissa. Maddie. Used to be Rachel. My home team. They care about me and I appreciate it.<\/p>\n
My friends at CBE. Visiting me. Giving me rides. Ruth coming up to cook for me. Tom and Paul’s visits. I’m a lucky guy. Family coming. Mary. Mark. Joe and Seoah. Ginny and Janice, chosen family.<\/p>\n
Alone, but not lonely.<\/p>\n
It may be, probably is, that these relationships are my purpose now. Staying in touch. Visits. Zoom calls. Enlivening and being enlivened. Seeing and being seen.<\/p>\n
Perhaps this has always been true. I-Thou over the I-Its of career, striving.<\/p>\n
Yes. If I-Thou extends to the wild realms, to dogs and cats, to the wonder of the light-eaters, then I say yes. More than skill. More than income. More than knowledge. More than status or power.<\/p>\n
The simple, everyday magic of loving and being loved. A hug. A gift of a smile, a kind glance. The warmth of another’s hand. Bedrock for all of life.<\/p>\n
