What's the best thing you've lost?
The delusion that everything will be perfect if I just... whatever.
The idea that I have to be different than I am right now.
What do you know by heart?
I've done it all my life.
It makes them taste real funny,
But it keeps them on my knife.
The only poem I know by heart.
What is the most difficult thing for you to believe?
That I don't have to do anything, just be. I'm working in it.
What is the best way to love the Earth?
Do you think more about the past or the future?
Lately, the past. I try to stay in the moment but right now, I'm putting the past to rest, seeing events with humor and joy rather than anger and shame. It's been fun. I'm making peace with some ghosts and finding new appreciation for my choices. I won't make those choices again but it certainly hasn't been boring.
What is the difference between truth and fact?
For how long have you been living in your current home?
I don't know what it is that makes a place feel like home but I do know it is missing where I am . I have only lived here a short time and it 's a temporary situation. I'm with people I love but don't feel connected to this place.
In the past, I've felt more connected when I have worked to make it different. Put order to my possessions, cleaned, repaired something. Energy put in resulting in belonging.
When I had decided to leave my former home, I stopped doing all of that, stopped cleaning, making order. It made it easier to leave. Many of my possessions are still being stored there. When I go back to get something, it no longer feels like my place and didn't for a while before I left. It 's just the building that covers some of my stuff.
Being in transition is okay for the short term but I am ready for something more permanent.
What was the last strange coincidence you experienced?
One big one that comes to mind is last year when I told my then-husband that if unexpected money came in, I wanted to go on a Solstice trip to the Yucatan. I had been thinking about it for a while but had not mentioned to him. The next morning we recieved an unexpected check that covered the cost of the trip and had enough left over to pay some bills. It was a life changing trip. A few of the photos are on my profile.
I am incredibly grateful that the universe provides me with constant proof that I am loved, appreciated, and protected.
Who was the last person you passed by without speaking to?
It was someone I passed by metaphorically. I tried to intiate a dialogue but abandoned it before it really got started. I ignored his response to me out of fear and I regret it now. It's probably nothing to him but my cowardice bothers me. I'm hoping to make up for it soon.
