Back to work

Return to work
Return to long days
And short nights
Return to leaving home with only the thought of returning
Missing family
To be in a passionless existence
There are lessons to learn
Patience
Humility
Sacrifice

The challenge to carve time for life's joys is ever-present

The question of what is important always being asked

Happiness is paramount

Love matters

balance

the discipline of daily writing

is a difficult practice to master

four days have passed in the blink of an eye

i have done little work on the novel

and no entries here

 

i have been living life

i have been honoring my resolution

to cultivate and sustain friendships

 

i have been spending time with new friends

sharing a laugh over salads and sandwiches

getting to know each other

 

i have connected with old friends

i group of men that helped me find my way

when i was lost in my own disillusionment

 

the biggest obstacle in my way of writing

is that i would rather read a good book

 

and isn't all life about balance?

do i believe there is time for it all?

 

monday i return to a job that

i am doing my best to leave

soon i will leave

soon

 

shall we dance?

marriage is a dance
of infinite complexity
full of grace and allure
a sumptuous feast of sensuality
to be coveted by those who watch on the sidelines

yet unseen within the dance
am i leading
are you leading
watch the toes
what shall we dance today
is this a new dance
are we doing this dance again
let's keep dancing
my feet hurt
my back hurts

let the music play

pure joy

today i witnessed pure joy
today i saw an adult meet her inner child
and they briefly enjoyed their time together
i watched with amusement as a plump must-be-near-60-year-old woman discover that
gravity can be her her friend on the water slide
she emerged from her first trip down with a look of sheer delight
and squealed (yes, squealed) to the also amused teen-aged lifeguard
"that was fun! i'm doing it again!"
and she almost ran to do it again
she emerged from her second trip down with only a look of content
her inner child and her inner adult parted ways
the child was visible no more

but i know she will be back
