Heard today that an old friend and neighbor is struggling with an infection, on top of his gallant fight with cancer. They're in another state, and I feel helpless to do much to help. In the midst of beautiful weather and summer, suffering and fear are also with us. My instinct is to gather my loved ones around me, and luckily for me, the family will be together in about three weeks. Treasure every moment, I tell myself.
In the meantime, I want to see "Cowboys and Aliens", and go to Target and walk the dogs. Because we balance, balance, forever we are in the midst of the swirl of the profound and the mundane. We are dancing, dancing, dancing, and crying, crying, crying. We are alive.
