Web of Life

September 1, 2010

I enjoyed going with Karen to visit her Uncle Elroy last night. It was amazing to watch him pick all those tunes on his guitar. It was funny that he expected me to keep up with him on mine. I didn’t have a clue, but I tried my darnedest. He was just happy to have [...]

A Space for Transformation

August 31, 2010

I picked up the book, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, awhile back. I began to read it but simply couldn’t make my way through it. While there were parts that resonated, I didn’t know how to let them in. I knew it was an important book so I put it aside—for seven years. [...]

The Responsibility of Consciousness

August 30, 2010

I am having many encounters with lizards lately. I remember that I loved playing with them as a child. I was not always kind to them in my curiosity. I vaguely recall placing one in alcohol to “put it to sleep”, then attempting to do surgery. I genuinely thought it would wake up after the [...]

Morning Agitation

August 23, 2010

I am agitated this morning. I didn’t sleep well. I awoke in the middle of the night worried about Daddy. Is he getting the care that he needs? I think he is too weak to be alone, but I can’t be there all day, everyday; neither can my sister. He is just stubborn enough that [...]

Life Urge

July 28, 2010

Baby wrens were born in the garage. I watched them and sang to them many days. Finally, they fledged from their nest but two of them didn’t leave the garage. For several days, they awkwardly flapped around, too afraid or weak to venture out of their place of safety. I could hear the mother or [...]

Strengthen the Life Around You

July 1, 2010

July already. We’ve been in Georgia for only two months, but it seems like a lifetime ago that we left the northeast. Odd how time flows. Interesting that I have relaxed so easily into the comfortable lap of Georgia after 25 years away. How good and right it feels to be here. Life strengthens me. [...]

Have Everything, Experience Nothing

June 14, 2010

I made a choice a few years back to begin to simplify my life. It’s why I chose to stop working a 9 to 5 job. It’s why I chose to become a caretaker. It’s why I choose to live in a small space. It’s why I choose not to have all the latest greatest [...]

Returning Home

June 8, 2010

I’m happy to be back in Georgia after being away for 25 years. It is surprising to me that I am settling in this quickly and easily. The warm bright sun, gorgeous southern flowers, nearby friends, and ease of getting to my father’s home, certainly help. It is so very familiar and there is comfort [...]

I am Not Alone

May 20, 2010

I received news day before yesterday that Daddy is dying of lung cancer. While news like this is difficult for me, it’s important to remember that the world does not revolve around me. In fact, I just read a statistic that, according to the Lung Cancer Alliance, an estimated 437 people die of lung cancer [...]

All Shall Be Well

May 19, 2010

I found out yesterday afternoon that my Dad has terminal lung cancer. The news kind of sucks the wind out of me. I feel like I just found my dad…now I’m going to lose him. I never thought I’d have a close relationship with him, but in the last year all that has changed. We [...]
