Birds are messengers with wings.
The Blue Heron was at the pond again. He sits so still...I think he probably has been standing there many times while I hang out the laundry or pick blue and red berries. He's watching me go about my chores.
I bought new shoes today...a symbol as well..of going ...traveling.. Also some maps of Costa Rica. Ty and I might go there for a warm month or so this winter. The Social Security Administration gives the widow 255.00 death benefit. I went there to sign some papers...to say you were gone. How far away can I get for 255.00.
Tomorrow is Kelc's birthday. We'll spread Bill's ashes then celebrate a birth.
Bought new paint brushes to motivate me. I'll bring some paint and canvasses up and put them in the office ...better light in daytime ..it used to shine right in your face while you sat at the computer in the morning. Thanks for listening.

Dear Laura,
ReplyDeleteMy deepest sympathies. I very much appreciate your blogging this above. I feel very far away and very disoriented by not being able to participate at all in my dear friend's passing from this world. Reading anything you write about it helps me to feel a connection. I wanted to share something with you. On the friday that Bill died, I did not yet know he had died. I had written him a goodbye letter on thursday, knowing that he would be unable to read or hear it. On Friday I was meditating on Bill, trying to "connect" somehow through the energy of the cosmos or some such thing. I don't mean to sound too "new age", but its all I could think of to do. I got a very clear image of an eagle on a branch over a lake. I felt peaceful. The next day I received your email with the news that bill had gone. I read about the Great Blue Heron and the eagle. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. All my love to you and the boys. -karen in d.c.
