Reading this was quite an experience for me. There was lots in it to which I could relate, unfortunately... but the sadness of the moment gave way to the realization that I was reading something very special. I love much about your writing, but what knocks me out is it's "meter". When you get on a metric roll, you are a bitch.
Content-wise, it really is the story of life...old foldk, young folks, sick folks. four legged folks, all needing nurturing in one way or another and you've inherited a lot of good stuff from somewhere. Perhaps it's true that you can learn as much from watching parents doing it all wrong, as you can with great role models.
I just told Therese how proud I am too know you and how prouder still that you like being my friend. She gets it.
Love you, Shavaun...always

I thought you would get this. Sounds like you have been in similar trenches this year. *sigh* I feel as though some of your tao wisdom has rubbed off on me...even though I am 'technically' not that receptive to spiritual gobbledegook. There is a calm comforting wisdom about now that assists tremendously in the buisiness of living. And its not even particularly 'spiritual' though sometimes it comes in those trappings. Its just now. I imagine its what triage units use, or emergency room docs, or first responders to any messy bit of now. Its breath and do what you can. Its love because tomorrow is an infinity away. Its now.
Love to you and Therese.
