Visiting friends in Mexico City, I got to experience one of those moments where you find yourself at the fork in the road on a cosmic level. It's been awhile since I've felt the earth move under my feet so to speak, although, as it happened, I was in bed at the time, just having drifted off to sleep... it was a real shaker, the earthquake I mean. The walls shuddered, the floor rumbled, the atmosphere spun with energy. Inside I was reeling with all the movement, wondering if I should get up, wondering if a pillow over my head would protect me, trying to feel one with the phenomenon and totally in awe of the forces involved.
When it was over, I wasn't sure what to do. Manuel got up and went to check things in the apt., making sure there were no gas leaks, checking the electricity connections, phoning... I stayed in my allotted room, listening and feeling each subtle shift in the return to stability. And then I fell asleep.
This morning it's lovely outside, streets washed clean after yesterday's rain, birds chirping their daily songs, a peaceful Sunday morning. Beautiful! Amazing! I'm feeling deeply grateful and happy to be here, on this new day, Father's Day in fact! Happy Father's Day to my Dad, and to all dads.
