Just a quickie

At work. I still won’t be on much at home; came on for a bit this morning, but frankly there’s just so much going on right now. Work is coming at me from all sides, and the Nster has the flu. So I will drop by when I have breaks and the like. Have a good day/night/whatever and whenever it is wherever you are.

Gathering the pieces
listening to words that sound
like food for my peculiar soul
though they were never written for that
no their import is far greater than mine
but there is generosity in them
and in the thread of the song’s melody
for whatever reasons there may be
or for no reason at all
they touch me

Catastrophe had its way with me
I have climbed most of the way
out from under the rubble
the trains ceremoniously go through Ground Zero
sorry for the inopportune timing
so tell me
now what

Log in to write a note

Oy. I skimmed this so rapidly, your statement “So I will drop by when I have breaks and the like”, impressed itself on my foggy consciousness as: “So I will drop by when I have breasts and the like.” I giggled, and then reead through it a little more slowly…:)

That’s lovely, C. again I am wondering “how does she do that??”. Hope N is kicking that flu; they say bad strains of it are going around. Computer woes are just that, aren’t they…woes! and such necessary things to sustain life…grin. Warm hugs

There’s outbreaks of a virulent strain of flu all over the country. I hope N is better soon. Hugs,

Oh, sorry about your sick baby..it’s hard when they’re sick. Hey! I did some of the Fearless Living exercises..there is so much wisdom in that book! Jumping Mouse Gets Some Wisdom…lol.

RYN: yes you must see that movie 🙂 you & your sick kid will love it!!

Oh dear, your note was SO cute! Aja and the polished stones… hehehe. I like how you put it – she isn’t able to make decisions herself yet. Very accurate. I was given the website of a cat trainer who gave some good info and suggestions. We’ll see how the current arrangement works. As for you here/gone… the ebb and flow of life applies here, too. We’ll see you when we see you! Hugs.

Phew! You have plenty to deal with! Thanks for the whitter sharing. Extra Huggles, Smiles, Love

ryn: I’m glad this place is here, and for the time being I will write here until I figure out what to do with ITW. ::hugs::

Hugs,

I had something to say, but Gattaca’s note about breaks and breasts cracked me up….:)

RYN: Lol. Good idea!! A pleasant experiment I am sure!! Hope N feels better soon.

Catastrophe had its way with me < – – – I love that line. And, what songbird said – how do you do that?

*hugs*

I hope you stay healthy and are able to keep writing. It helps to become almost obsessive-compulsive about hand-washing this time of year, I think.

Moving on, there comes a point when we have to. Go well sweet Cathy, the most important person to keep sane is yourself. To sing freely from your deepest place. Warmest hugs

RYN: hehehehe

It seems a solution will be found to my money dilemma – a patron of the arts who has been a longtime friend here on OD is going to gift me with the dollars so sorely needed at this time – she bought and read my book back when, and was impressed. She has faith that I will make it as a writer, and I am so grateful for that vote of confidence! I just knew a solution would present itself!

She is the soul of graciousness, and full of empathy and goodwill. What a blessing to have such friends… anywhere! Online or off, there are so many good people in this world… and I am so, so lucky.

This reminds me of the Shake it off and Step Up story about the old mule who fell into the well, the owner gave up on pulling him out and decided to bury him there The mule shook off the dirt from his back and began to stand up on it eventually being able to climb from the well. The very thing set out to kill him was his salvation Ps. It’s okay to take one of those healing kisses 4 yourself^_^
