An Open Letter About ALS | The New York Review of Books

This is the disease that took my husband's life. I can only hope that someday there will be a cure for this horrific disease.

WORD FOR THE DAY

From: Gratefulness.org

It may be that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

Wendell Berry

...but it doesn't mean you can stay there forever. I took a trip back east last week. I spent two days in New York City with someone who means far too much to me and then flew to Syracuse where I had close to three days to catch up with as many people as I could. All this was brought about by a birthday dinner that I had always been a part of and which I wanted to still be a part of. I told myself that I had the time and the money and that may not be true again for awhile. I told myself I needed to do it. My hope was that the trip would turn things around for me and that I would come back feeling renewed and determined to move ahead, something I have not been doing.

So here I am, back in Seattle, and starting to move forward, even if the trip made me feel that I really don't know anymore where I belong.

The Past

I tend to live in the past because most of my life is there.

~Herb Caen

This is not what I want to do but so often I find myself doing exactly that. I suppose I should be grateful that it is not like this all of the time.

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
