33

So I had an audition in NY today and my dear friend took me to dinner at what used to be Houston's.  Yummdiffer!  I can tell I am changing because how the world interacts with me is changing.  Life is fun, people are beautiful and interesting to me and I love sitting on the subway just taking people in.  Today a woman went off on this man because his elbow was touching her.  I sent them both love and light because she was straight trippin.  He was a gentleman, shook his head got up stood and continued to read his book. He didn't take on her "upset"  he did mumble that she was crazy.  She was "upset" about something and this man just tapped into a wound.  She was agitated and angry and he was engrossed in his book.  Lovely for me to observe.  He taught me something.  He did not take her madness personally.  It was hers to own and he let her have it.

  1. Ah, New York! It's raining off and on in LA, feels just like Northern CA and I'm loving it. It is good to read your post today, about life being fun, the joy when you can see change in yourself, and specially the observation. I needed that latter reminder after talking to an unhappy person today that was tearing down the happiness over creating something beautiful for their children. It's too this, or that, or I don't have that in my house for a reason. People's stuff aint ours. Thankfully, I have other people to share my joy with. Love you and sorry I missed you when you were out here.

  3. Tuesday night, "Copy Two" brings a book for bedtime reading that I purchased sometime ago but couldn't find. She says, "didn't you buy this for us?".
    Excerp: “You tried to give me a stomp on the head, a bone crunching Grizzel Bear squeeze and a punch on the nose. I would not want those presents even if it were my birthday,” said Guru Walter calmly. “I guess you will have to keep your anger all for yourself.”
