I like the idea of breaking up with demons….I wonder if they’d notice?! Your photos did bring a bit of peace, however….especially the pond.

At least I’m not alone in my frustration out here! (see a more recent PB comment as well as this one) I too hate those snotty MC commercials – and the VISA ones also that make fun of someone who uses cash…..and now, as I scroll down and read this part of the PB blog – I am in even MORE agreement!

The world in my head, my house, my office and who knows where else – is a mess, is sick, late, behind, confused and just a bit frustrated. To borrow (and adapt) from Prairie Home Companion ….. I am so beside myself – I am ‘at two with the universe’! (But I suppose as a Christian, I must be ‘at 3 with with it’ Yes?)

Thanks for sharing your frustrations with us all!

We give them everything we are, and even feed our children to them. It’s just so hard and takes so much support, strength, courage and desperation to name them for what they are and be willing to say goodbye to them.

Holy crap, PB, you are like church to me. This was a big bucket of GOD right where I needed Her. Thanks.

Wow. Oh, wow. I read this:

“The thing that’s so poignant about human beings is how much tender care we give to our demons. We give them everything we are, and even feed our children to them. It’s just so hard and takes so much support, strength, courage and desperation to name them for what they are and be willing to say goodbye to them.”

…and then an anvil fell on my head.

And yup, Mercury is retrograde. This means that for the next three weeks (which is when it goes direct again) all matters pertaining to communication, security, and short-distance travel are subject to Murphy’s Law.

So when getting directions somewhere, repeat it back to the person giving them. And watch those car keys. They will try to do their Houdini act on you.

I have yet to meet someone who wouldn’t benefit greatly from taking the demons to lunch and breaking up with them, then leaving so the damn things have to foot the bill! Chew and screw, I say!

Thank you for sharing this. Beautiful writing, and your conversation with Jesus (and especially the end! I can easily imagine his fellow-travellers in Palestine asking precisely the question you closed with) resonated deeply with me.

And don’t forget, this seems to be a particularly bad season for early colds, viruses, etc…personally, I have been hit with these much earlier than usual. I wonder if some of the craziness in New England has been due to our crazy fall weather? We seem to go from summer temps to fall ones and back again at the drop of a hat…we have had so little rain…and the leaves this season have really been less than spectacular.
Is Gaia heaving a big sigh of bewilderment over what we have been doing to the environment (and there are still people who claim global warming is a myth, or a fiction created by pessimists!).
