Littlefaith's Perspective

If only the boys and I weren't sick, Mother's Day would be sweet.  I am all set to start up Quicken and make some progress in the piled up papers cluttering my life.  I did some serious cleaning these last couple of weeks, and I feel the chi flowing through the house.  I'm looking forward to visitors, to a lovers' trip to a hot springs resort with my girlfriend.  My 8-year-old son made me an origami flower garden today.

I found an audio tape from a friend, a letter by recorded voice.  It was really interesting to hear his voice, only 13-years-old, talking to me through time and space.  But what a shock, he suggests on the tape that we should use up this 90-minute tape by recording back-to-back to each other and then we could send it back and forth until the time is used up.  I thought to myself, ah, surely that didn't happen, because here I have the tape.

Surprise!  At the end of his talking, suddenly I heard my own.  I inform "him" that I had taped over something else I recorded two years ago, so that must've been my 15-year-old voice.  I could hear the puberty in my voice, plus a little cold.  I start out all over the place, trying to reconnect to this person I hadn't actually sent the tape back to during all that time, and in the end settle in to talking about the people I was now connected to in the new place.  I seemed to be explaining why I hadn't written, why I was kind of transitioning to California from Texas, and why my new connections were becoming stronger than the old ones.

A friend of mine is attending a fundraiser for a Gaza hospital tonight.  She invited me, but I will not be attending.

I happened to mention this to an Israeli friend of mine, and he went off on the subject.  I know any time I bring up a topic concerning Arab or Muslim, it will usually get a rise out of him, but I'm bad, I can't help myself.
