Slow Growth

A new moon teaches gradualness
and deliberation and how one gives birth
to oneself slowly. Patience with small details
makes perfect a large work, like the universe.
What nine months of attention does for an embryo
forty early mornings will do
for your gradually growing wholeness.

Still Standing
Feb. 22nd, 2007 06:26 amBoth of my lovers, my sister and her child, and countless people at work are falling victim to this particularly vicious bug going around right now.
My throat hurts a bit, but so far I have managed to resist the worst of it.
My new boss starts Monday, and I have a lot to do to get ready.
I'm not 'worried' but I'm not 'excited' either.
It feels like I've been set up on a blind date.
Or an arranged marriage. Maybe that's closer to the truth, because he and I are stuck with each other and will have to either learn to get along and work together or have a very public divorce.
I'm praying that I remain healthy, that my daughter remains healthy (and that my parents will let her remain another night at their house), and that I get all the prep done that I need to do.
And that I never, ever again forget to subtract my share of the mortgage payment from my check register on payday. I knew that balance looked too good to be true.
*grrrrr

This morning
9thmoon posted a weird and wonderful dream she had last night.
I am re-posting her dream and our follow-up conversation with her kind permission.
9th Moon: I dreamed that [other names omitted]
qos and her boyfriend Aragorn, and me and [omitted], went to a terribly expensive, formal, multiple-course dinner at a fancy restaurant downtown, wearing tuxes and strapless gowns with beaded shawls, and then we went to see Lord of the Rings ON ICE at Key Arena.
Me: Did I really have a dress-up dinner date with *Aragorn* in your dream? I'm jealous that I missed all the fun! (And I love skating shows too!)
9th Moon: Yes, and you were gorgeous, too, in soft gray silk with crystals and pearls sewn on the bodice and the shawl, and your hair curled and piled on top of your head, with sparkly eyeshadow. *grin*
Me: Aaaarrggh! Next time, invite me ahead of time!!
