Before I knew what happened, yesterday flew by
And my head was so busy, taking care of daily life, that
I'd forgotten to call my guru before her weekend, at rest, began
What kept me so busy? Priorities:
My head was filled with thoughts of organizing errands and
Food shopping before assuming the role of hostess, welcoming
A pair of snowbirds, who'd felt eager to introduce us to
Their friends while we six engaged in happy hour within
The cozy environment of the living room of our home
Followed by dinner at one of our favorite restaurants
As to the food shopping, I'd carried three lists into Sprouts:
The first for yesterday's happy hour, the second for
Our portion of the gourmet dinner club, which we'll enjoy, tonight
And the third to prepare a heartfelt welcoming brunch to yet another
Dear friend from college, who having lost his wife
(my treasured friend) to brain cancer, several years back
Flies in to stay with us, tomorrow
As to Monday, I'll leave a voice mail for my guru before
Picking up Ravi ... good thing my friend is a doting granddad, who
Understands that though I've chosen to cancel Monday's session
With my trainer, I can't help but indulge my spirit's resistance to
Mustering the patience to wait until
Thursday's standing-play-date to sweep my sweet natured
Fourteen month old, granddaughter's open armed smile into
My loving embrace ... Thank goodness, Ravi's spirit is
As winsome as a wood sprite, who thus far
Wins hearts wherever we go, simply by being true to herself ...
As for now, I want to end, today, with a photo of
Ravi's sparkling smile, covered with birthday cake, but
Having forgotten to call my guru, and knowing my iPad to be
Fussy about imprinting photos to my blog, I'd rather not
Muster the patience to quell heated frustration before
Cooking up two delectable dishes that I've decided to create
(Without so much as a recipe in sight) for our
Gourmet dinner group of eight, which plans to gather, tonight, at 6
So, Having chosen to turn my mind toward enjoying
Today's creative venture, which awaits my arrival in
The kitchen (where yesterday's free-spirited saunter through
Sprouts prepared me to partake in today's sense of
Creative spontaneity with which I'll combine
Fresh ingredients for this evening's repast, which
Had been selected intuitively while cruising from aisle to aisle)
And Now that I've chosen to adopt an attitude of patience until
My guru's guidance offers up her wealth of knowledge, which will
Hopefully, resolve whatever has caused
My computer's hard drive to be cloaked within a grey fog
I'll hope you are choosing to enjoy a five star day as have I ...
