Odds & Ends, Round 3

No wind for the last 2 days.

Hurray!!!!

We can hear the birds sing again in the morning. I had no idea how much I missed that.

We are gradually transitioning into the rainy season. This means that April is the best month. Some rain but not too much...calm, beautiful days and nights...just perfect!

I scurried around this morning getting ready for our band practice on our porch. Normally, we rehearse at the piano players house but not today.

I was aware of the satisfaction, joy and anticipation of the rehearsal. Gorgeous morning...idillic temperature...the newness of playing at our house!

And we did rehearse for 4 hours, a lot for old people. And it was good. After an 8 week break, we have had to work mighty hard to get the memory synapsis working again. I think we have lost a good number of synapsis though.

Damn aging!

Today I am present to the joy of living in paradise.

This is not always the case.

I have been talking with an old friend about the frequent number and intensity of upsets I have experienced over the last few weeks.

Where is the love?

Over the last 30 years, I have developed ways to move through upsets quickly and with alacrity.

I seem to have lost this ability and this worries me.

My buddy said it may be the transition into retirement. That is as good an explanation as any.

Ah, but today life is grand!

Hope it lasts...but I do know better, so I am enjoying it while it lasts.

well finally, He speaks! a bit of extended quietness there. Glad You are back to having Fun, or fighting, as the case may be - either one tells me You're Alive!! Love You, Darshan
and, anytime I'm upset, I'm hanging onto a lie. hate when that happens, sometimes they are so basic they remain invisible to me and seem to be the Reality. the upset, sometimes, is the only evidence that these deep little lies are there.... they will show, though.

Well, I am a liar, for sure! I haven't been able to get my arms around this lie though...been working on it for 2 YEARS...shit! I got a little piece of it when you visited last year, but alas, not enough.

I appreciate you coaching...thanks...you are always spot on!

Love Tom
