Life has ways of surprising you.
When you write like this you are writing alone. There is the possibility of having someone with you in a virtual reality but there is no promise of that. There is the possibility of support or criticism. Interest or apathy. But you never know. I think all you can do is write what you feel, put it to the virtual universe and see what comes back to you.
Today, I received support. Love. Kindness.
Several years ago I got my first (and to this point, my only) tattoo. It's on my lower back (which I am sad to hear is now referred to as a 'tramp stamp'... I can't tell you how disappointing that is) and it's the Chinese symbol for strength. I got that symbol in that place for this reason; we all have strength. It's not always where you can see it but it's there. It's got your back. And it's there when you need it.
My beautiful gift today was that along with the strength I have come to rely upon from myself, I am also blessed to have the support of friends who I also cannot see but are as real and true as the ink on my back. You are my strength too.
I thank each and every one of you. And I will most certainly talk to you soon. And often.
We have a lot in common as it turns out.
With love.
Funny how things turn out. What a laugh I had when that astronomer said that time was being measured incorrectly and the astrological signs should be shifted by a few days... Making me something other than Leo. How could that be possible?
ReplyDeleteWhen I succeed in setting aside some quiet time, really, I plan to reflect on some significant way to mark the continuing journey. It would be cool to share that with you again.
