My heart is with you.<BR/><BR/>I'm a gemini too -- but I'm right on the cusp of cancer -- and so that makes for a strange kind of tempered gemini I think...<BR/><BR/>I too am looking at all of the family-building around me and feeling bittersweet -- wanting to be excited for them and too for me, but not knowing what the future will hold.<BR/><BR/>I hold on to my delusions with far too firm a grip -- and sometimes in tiny moments I get a sense of clarity and peace...but it rolls on past.<BR/><BR/>Here's to balance my friend -- for both of us as the summer ends and another season wanes and brings us right back into renewal again...<BR/><BR/>XO<BR/><BR/>PamWordgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580973104447557466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-77213300936685421912008-09-05T14:54:00.000-07:002008-09-05T14:54:00.000-07:00When we lost our Tucker I told everyone that I WAS...When we lost our Tucker I told everyone that I WAS NOT going to try to replace him with another pet as he could not be replaced. So here I sit typing this with a dog on each foot under my desk. I looked at many before I found the ones that I connected with and they have shown me I was right to wait for the connection. You will know when/if it is time to welcome another fur family member.OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-37058794909225785732008-09-05T08:38:00.000-07:002008-09-05T08:38:00.000-07:00"And that's pretty much how I've lived my life.

Getting lost, eventually finding my way, but arriving hungry, pissed off and exhausted." <BR/><BR/>I love this line and this post. there's something about spontaneity that doesn't always serve me well anymore either. I wonder if it's because I've been forced to give up control of every other aspect of my life. sometimes it's just what I need, but sometimes I'm just pissed off and exhausted by it. <BR/><BR/>it's so hard grieving sampson this way, I know. the first time we came home to an empty house we both bawled our eyes out. coming home we'd al get so excited to greet each other. each time you expect to see them there is like a new loss, all over again... <BR/><BR/>I hope you find the solace in your practice that you are looking for.lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455301696832647867noreply@blogger.com
