Off the Couch
Sunday morning and kids with BFI. Friday night I did a reading at Barnes and Noble in Huntington and it went very well. Good friends, including the lovely Jr. in the audience. Drinks and dinner afterward at Applebees. Jr. invited the libertarian with the petition to join us, and suggested that he and I do the two for one on the menu. I will pay her back. I decided that I am no longer going to read any of my old work at readings, which means I have my work cut out for me before the next reading in September. Why is it so hard to get back to writing?
Saw Julie and Julia last night and was delighted. Inspired me to focus, and on the way home I passed the sign in front of the Korean church that always has a message. This week it was "Burying your talents is a big mistake." Amen.
Judy, my beloved roommate from the University of Bridgeport, 1978, was at the reading last night. All the years pass and it's as if nothing has passed. We both have kids now and our daughters are the same age. We plan to get together very soon as we live a half hour's drive from one another now. Facebook may have lots of negatives, but it does bring people back together.
Oh swami, I am going to find a poem from "She Rises Like the Sun" which is sitting on the broken printer next to the keyboard here, and find something apropos for this post.
The Two Gretels
The two Gretels were exploring the forest
Hansel was at home
sending up flares
Sometimes one Gretel got afraid,
She said to the other Gretel,
"I think I'm afraid"
"Of course we are", Gretel replied.
sometimes the other Gretel whispered,
with a shiver,
"You think we should turn back?"
To which her sister Gretel answered,
"We can't. We forgot the breadcrumbs"
so they went forward
because
they simply couldn't imagine the way back.
and eventually, they found the gingerbread House,
and the Witch, who was really, they discovered,
the Great Good Mother Goddess,
and they all lived happily ever afterwards
The Moral of this story is:
Those who would have the whole loaf,
let alone the house
had better throw away their breadcrumbs.
