"Let The Lover . . ."



Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy,
absentminded. Someone sober will worry about things going badly.
Let the lover be.
Rumi


When God says it's time to change, there goes your brain.  Let it be.   "Let the 'lover' be."  Difficult.  At times crazy making.  No one gets it.  Spiritual evolution doesn't care that everything falls apart.  That's the point.  Glass shatters,  melts in the furnace of creation and is reborn/recreated by the master glassblower as something new, authentic, more beautiful than what was. 

"Let the 'lover' be."

No More Leaving

At
Some point
Your relationship
With God
Will
Become like this:

Next time you meet Him in the forest
Or on a crowded city street

There won't be anymore

"Leaving."

That is,

God will climb into
Your Pocket.

You will simply just take

Yourself

Along!

I Want A Kitten

An Orange Tabby to be precise.  We have a Tuxedo named Sacha and an all Gray cat named Stanley.  I think Sacha and Stanley need a little sister. 

My husband thinks I'm nuts. 

I'm aware there are women of a certain age who collect cats.  I fear I may be one of them.

Wedding Dress Blues

Ok.  So I'm a woman of a certain age.  A post menopausal shape is my new reality.  And - I seem to have inherited my grandmother's ta ta's!  Where on earth did these girls come from?  Really?! 

Shopping for dress clothing, once a delight, is now a bit of an ordeal.  I purchased a most adorable dress for my son's wedding.  At the fitting I was told I needed a certain type of bra for the top of the outfit to fit properly.

Well.  I got that bra, put it on, put on the dress and, Oh My Gosh!  I'm Dolly Parton! 

I can safely tuck my grandmother's change purse in my dress top and no one will know.  Unless the ice cream truck drives by . . . .
