Reflections in the San Juan's
Seeing the movie Project Hail Mary at our little movie theater
For the first time in forever, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I immediately had happy thoughts. My mind went to Rocky and Grace and their kindness and connection which is the heart and soul of the story Project Hail Mary.
Mindfulness is the practice of purposely bringing one’s attention to the present-moment experience – I did this long before I knew it was a thing…
Being aware of the sun on my face – the laughter of my children – my lover’s hand in mine – the silky fur of my clean dog…these are the moments that make up life.
We were Catholic not Jewish but I’m thinking the guilt is very similar.
For my 8th grade graduation a cousin sent me a package of note cards. When she did not receive a thank you note she ‘innocently’ asked my mother if I had received her gift.
Love is universal.
My husband and I just became new grandparents! It is deeply sacred, knowing that now, we are always connected with this child. I shared this happy news with numerous of supportive girlfriends.
There are other people, who would call me their friend, yet who would disapprovingly judge my daughter and perhaps me as well.
The ‘Let’s be neighbors’ sign in front of Get Some Groceries, in our little village, gives me hope. It is acknowledged worldwide that now is absolutely an extremely hard time for our nation.
The hopefulness in the banner simply comes from seeing each other as human beings.
