Roller Coaster
What a mixed day of wonder, joy, and sadness!
My hopes of moving have not been dashed, but my feelings are lowered at this time. I won’t get into that here.
My grandmother is ill, will perhaps leave this plane soon, and I have no way of getting there to see her before then.
My ex-wife, Laura, just called me for the first time since she remarried in 1999, and wants to talk to me. We have kept in touch through email, but this is the first time she has actually called me.
My former High Priestess in “my” online religious studies group, Golden Wyvern Coven, contacted me through this very blog, and we are talking again in YMessenger.
I got two emails in response to my latest article at http://PaganPages.org – one telling me I shouldn’t say something I said (in the article, I stated I was not the authority, and gave out the information as to who was) and the other thanking me for the article, saying that it has really helped her in her daily life already. (These are the first emails I have gotten in response to my articles at PaganPages, and this is my 4th monthly article in the series).
My closest friend, Frankie, is in the hospital in Winston-Salem NC, with her feet not healing properly and some chance of losing them altogether, something she is rightfully fighting tooth and claw (with her new false teeth), but I hope she does not fight it all the way to losing her life instead of her feet.
And to top it off, I just got asked by Nathan Rogers to add himself to my Friends list at MySpace. Nathan just had his own CD released earlier this year, and is the son of the greatest musician to ever play a guitar (in addition to having the finest voice ever and being the best lyricist ever), Stan Rogers (and the nephew of his brother, Garnet, who is more than a fine musician in his own right). I guess you could say there is some hero-worship here, yes? It is a sad commentary that I play Stan’s songs often in my performances, and get asked if I wrote them… how soon we forget…
And it’s still 5 pm! I do have the monthly Pagan Meetup tonight, we’re going to Mamacita’s.
Hugs,
Me
