Connections

​Tom and I have a joke: “Food makes me sick.” I’m not sure how this little saying started, but we use it when we have those off-times when there is an occasional flattening of the appetite and nothing seems appealing. I’m in one of those times right now.
​
And these are such strange times, eh? Beyond the wars, politics, pain, and sadness, it is still an incredibly magical world if you’re open to seeing it. I’ve seen the weirdest parallels and synchronicities in my own life lately. The kind of stuff an intuitive person takes note of: license plates telling me names and dates (two of them side-by-side in front of me today!); new people coming into my life with a bang; icon images resurrected of people from my past; strange emails arriving on fortuitous dates; dreams and memories helping to make me clear on what is happening and how to process it.

I know this sounds very cryptic and obscure. What I think I’m trying to say is that it’s about connection. I know that I continually crave connection. I yearn for it. Whether it is a connection to friends, to animals, to a lover, to my work, or to the Source, I am always seeking it.,

I used to think that this was a problem, that I didn’t know how to manage alone. That I was needy and not strong. I used to strive for independence. I don’t do that anymore because it’s all about oneness, right? Unity, not division. I will connect as deeply as I can in all relationships that are open to doing the same because in that place there is love, expressed in so many different ways.

My old Night Times friend Aaron once told me, “You are one of those Malcolm Gladwell’ connectors’.” He was referring to the book, The Tipping Point. And I am a connector, but I think it is for far deeper, more selfish reasons than networking. Or, maybe “selfish” is not the right word. Maybe it is for higher reasons. It is using every scrap of energy I contain to be fully here and completely with those I feel love for, however circumstances shape that love. It is a hunger for life, and for that, I will always have a healthy appetite.

In closing, I realized that these blog entries are no longer dated since my website update! I’ll make it a practice to date at the end of each entry until this gets corrected. I have much more work to do on this website–there are still things to fix on my Media page, so please bear with me. The Decoding Sylvia Plath postings here are on hold until I hear from my publisher whether it is OK for me to continue posting.
