Everyone bristles when change comes – no one likes change they have no control over. I’ve really never met a soul who greeted a change they didn’t invoke with open arms. As a matter of fact, a friend I love dearly said these words to me the other day, “I don’t want one thing to change about my life, everything is perfect.” So that is why on a day like today that has change being flung in every direction, I’m trying to get myself realigned with the universe. And while I was in the throes of mentally preparing for this realignment, I chipped off the veneer that cost me a fortune on my bottom tooth. So now I have to make an emergency call to the dentist.
T’s response to this missing tooth was, “For a moment, you’re not perfect.”
And I’m wondering what is perfect. Weren’t we, the victims of Katrina, given some new power, the ability to handle enormous life changes with aplomb? Why would a tooth or changes to the order of things be so unrumpling, if even Katrina didn’t devastate me?
I think it’s the heat. It’s 85 degrees in my office and I know I should just turn the damn a/c on but I thought it was spring and we had a moment before I had to shut myself into a hermeneutically sealed environment. Well Spring is over and Summer’s here, another change I just have to deal with.
Then look at what my horoscope said this morning – it’s weird – I mean like doo doo doo doo – Twlight Zone weird:

Taurus (4/20-5/20)Change in general has never been at the top of your buddy list — in fact, nothing pushes your buttons faster than seeing your carefully laid plans derailed. Things might feel frustrating today, because the universe has arranged for plenty of unexpected events to appear on today’s agenda. Forewarned is forearmed, though, so now that you know what’s coming, just try not to become too attached to plan A. Have plan B ready, just in case.
