Recently, I’ve been more quiet than not, based upon the fact that my heightened pain level (which was expected), has remained a problem, clashing with my cultivated state of peaceful patience. And I’ve been unable to write of misery until the massive portion of it has passed.
At this point, I’m so ready to rest in my own bed after spending these past several weeks in Houston
To our good fortune, the Airbnb has proved comfortable in terms of space and adequate in terms of meeting our needs. And now, as we advance toward the next stage of our most current adventure into The Great Unknown, we’ll soon be readying our Hazmat suits, face shields and masks to convey us through the airport in hopes of making our uneventful way home, safely, again.
Hopefully, the most difficult portion of this challenging experience has passed. And had you been with me from the start, you’d probably be surprised to see how much I’ve improved when considering my present level of independence concerning walking, grooming, dressing, and hours spent sitting on a comfortably padded couch, where, for the most part, we’ve been binging on The Americans, evenings while, personally, I’ve been contemplating my good fortunate at the fact that Will and David demonstrate NO impatience whatsoever with how much help I still need from them as we three continue to derive emotional strength from one another’s generosity of spirit.
Each time I envision warm smiles lighting up loving faces waiting eagerly to welcome us home, (standing just beyond our patio’s Arcadia door in The Southwestern Desert) or I imagine smiles, greeting our own, doubling the love light conveyed from within the depths of every heart on FaceTime, I can actually feel my smile plug into a natural, mega watt energy source, which I call The Universal Spirit, that always feels as remarkable as was the first electrical circuit devised by Thomas Edison, which, with one flip of a carefully wired switch, brightened an entire room that had been dark only moments before.
And being a woman, whose dark, shoulder length hair had been shorn, last December, during one of several hospitalizations, I’m happy to see soft, shining tuffets of pewter sprouting all over my scalp as summer temps continue to sizzle toward record breaking intensities across the nation while eggs, frying atop steaks, broiling on sidewalks offer up a minor exaggeration of what The Southwestern Portion of The USA has felt like over these brutal months of summer as if trump has literally been readying his fire breathing oratory to make his descent into the bowels of hell.
On the other hand, as Houston offers both extreme heat and humidity, I actually give thanks every time the air conditioner compressor is heard recharging itself.
Last night, my physical pain, though cradled ever so gently within the fluffy pillows that make their way from living room couch to Airbnb bed, gave me reason to experience a teary meltdown, lasting several minutes, before a powerful sleeping aid switched my last wakeful thoughts toward the fact that the surgery we’d flown here for was two weeks passed. And soon, I’ll be home. And no matter the intensity of heat and pain, never before in my life has my spirit felt more buoyed on the wings of love than has been true, over this past year.
As for now
Tis time to groom, so
Please—
Be safe
Stay well
Wear masks
Vote blue
And offer your
Home schooled
Munchkins the same Admirable patience and humorous attitude You’ve expected of their teachers, every day, Throughout each school year, Monday-Friday, because if you expect the best of your children during trying times then it’s not too much for our little ones to expect the best from adults, whose love lines must run with the same level of consistency as did Edison’s wires when his goal was to re-energize the level of brightness in a room, whereas your goal and mine is to steady our focus toward re-energizing the currents of loving patience, which brighten each pair of eyes that meet our own as your circle of love and mine expand ever so naturally, with a lightness of being, day by day ...

PS. In order to keep today’s smile naturally recharged with the spirit of generosity, which, for the most part, keeps both sides of my personality balanced, I simply remind myself that today’s stranger may very well become tomorrow’s treasured friend, and based in the fact that ‘attitude is everything‘, my assumption, concerning opening my heart to welcomIng new friends, generally suggests why, during life’s most trying times, my cup runneth over with kindnesses, offered openly, generously and freely, by my family and friends
