Having a bed-in is a great idea, John and Yoko did it for world peace, we did it for peace of mind. We read last Sunday’s New York Times, we let Loca up to snuggle, we let Bam Bam join in for pets and we had our tea and just thought pleasant thoughts. We ended up finding just what we have been missing around here – peace of mind. I strongly urge you to have…
I was sitting in Tonique last night speaking to a friend about life’s many twists and turns and I remembered so clearly sitting on the black leather sofa that is now in Steve’s apartment and staring out at West Street in San Rafael – it was an overcast day and as usual, since we were on the other side of Mt. Tam, we were getting the brunt of the seasonal rain. A garden catalog had…
Buddhist believe that most of life’s misery is caused by wanting.
There is a card in the Tarot deck of a woman blindfolded with two swords – I like this card because it is about self binding. If she used the sword to cut off the blindfold and turned around she would see the stunning blue ocean behind her. So it is with everything that you think you can make happen. Take any number of issues that I am juggling right now – my mom, no…
There are people who believe that private adoption exploits poor women. I beg to differ. It’s the couples trying to adopt who are exploited left and right because they want a baby so bad they will give up the farm. Then there are the attorneys who make their living on this transaction. Honestly, last night we met a woman who was adopted out of the foster care system because her mother was a drug addict,…
Everybody has had an opinion lately – where were these people when my mom needed financial, emotional, physical support? Everybody wants to profit on T and my desire to have a baby – so far $40,000 of money we don’t have. Everybody wants to own a piece of me, have a piece of me, destroy a piece of me. But they can’t. One of the songs I listened to when T and I first fell…
Today was possibly the most gorgeous day we have had all year. The sun was shining – the sky was blue – there were these cloud shaped white clouds in the sky – and birds were singing. If all days were like today, I would find it absolutely impossible to work.
Oh now it’s coming out that Fox New is manipulating the news – give me a break – do you trust Rupert Murdoch to spin the news? Uh, no. The fact that they are trying to resurrect Sarah Palin by claiming she is so popular right now is the biggest load of hogwash I’ve ever seen. Give it a rest – you backed Bush for how long?
I walked Loca around the Big Lake this morning, reveling in the beautiful day outside, and the fact that despite all of the heaviness of late, that things are going to be all right. This is a difficult time because so many huge things hang in the balance. My uncle wrote me that having a baby was going to be life defining. Losing my mother is also as weighty. All around us there is beauty…
Last night I went to a birthday dinner with a bunch of friends and looked around the table at some point and felt that it was good to know that I have yet another safety net out there in the world.
