I thought I skipped yesterday, May 4th, in order to have the days of the month match my days counting forward for Living till Dying. (I ended up posting something anyway!)
Of course when June comes along, if I actually continue to have something to say here, it will be out of kilter (whatever that means.)
OK I looked it up for you. Kilter comes from older English Kelter, meaning good health, in order.
It's a law of physics. Whatever is in motion tends to stay in motion. Whatever is NOT in motion, tends to stay NOT in motion. Equilibrium or stasis. Thus myself. Sitting typing, sipping something. Getting up every now and then to stretch my legs and move my body. But start something else?
Ach! Not easy to do.
So I'm thinking back to how my life began...being rudely pushed out of a warm damp womb where all my needs were met and I was constantly lulled by mom's heart beat and other sounds of her digestive tract, as well as her voice and those of my father and grandparents too probably. Laughter with the interesting bouncing against mom's ribs. And just as soon as the pushing squeezing stopped, I was cold and stretched and in brightness and noise, and wrapped in soft but dry blankets and clothes. And screamed my lungs out to get back to comfort again.
So I started life. And now I need to start the next thing I'm going to do. I will take baby steps.
Remember how much I wanted to find out things? Curiosity drove me to explore, to move....crawl, then walk. Balance on 2 legs! I just knew how. But wait, there had to be the necessary growth of muscles and brain support.
Baby Steps. I know how still. Just reach for the next thing, just do it (thank you Nike). So I was able to demonstrate this skill to my own satisfaction, putting the laundry away... no not doing the washing and drying. A friend kindly did it a week or so ago, and folded it. And now I've finally put it in closet and drawers. There are more clothes lying about the room. Am I curious enough to see what's under them? To see them hanging in the closet? To fold them and stack them in correct places in cupboards?
I have also accomplished washing the dishes after making bread. All the kitchen is ready for the next useful thing that needs to happen there!
Whoo hoo! I am woman! And I am dragon-woman! The dragon energy is needed these days to combat the elder sick status which tends to be-fog my being completely.
Fire breathing if you please!
