pray more
i will strive at least once daily

not just when things are terribly wrong

today i would like to pray for my cousin who has lost her husband, for my mother who is exhausted, and for my little dog that lost her life yesterday

i would like to thank God for another day here on earth and for my multitude of blessings

amen



learn to meditate
I crave

the bliss of just being, not doing, not THINKING, today is Saturday, I have no big plans, I think i’ll try five minutes…



get over him
futility?

eighteen years of on again off again in between husbands, boyfriends,the love has never gone away…
he e-mailed me recently to inform me that we are both very good liars and that it is habit and that we really don’t love one another at all
i considered this and gave it a chance
i am always ready to question my own motives
but he is wrong
conceptually i have a hard time buying the “soul mate” thing, due to the size of the world and the number of people in it, BUT,
true love is true love
it doesn’t go away
never
the pain of the absence of it is tangible
the beauty of it is a perpetual mist
a warm pressure in the chest
a comfort like the womb
because of THIS love i know that it does exist
and when it’s reall you are screwed because it doesn’t go away
i have tried to will it
i have considered it as a choice, “psyched myself out”
is it a habit? no
is it a mental illness? maybe
help
