What A Day

Well, I went to see my Endocrinologist today, and she was not happy with me for the way I was doing my fast.  I had decided to try the “Master Cleanse”.  My blood sugar was way too low.  I explained to her that I was doing it for spiritual reasons, so she suggested some alternatives.  So I am continuing my fast, I am just going to modify it.  I talked to one of my spiritual mentors, Sabrina, and she suggested I do a no-kill fast.  What this means is that I will not be consuming any plant or animal that needs to be killed in order to eat it.  Since I am a Vegetarian, I will need to make only some minor adjustments to my diet.  In addition to my blood sugar issues, my Endo heard something strange with my heart, so now, tomorrow, I am going to a Cardiologist for some testing.  Sometimes, I think this health stuff just goes on and on and on and on.  Then, to make my day even more cheerful, my health insurance company called me to tell me that my medications that I am taking for my pituitary tumor and my AGHD (Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency) are now going to cost me $480 dollars a month.  This is quite a considerable jump in price since I use to pay $50 dollars a month for these meds before.  I am scared now that I will not be able to afford the meds anymore.  I am now searching for places that might possibly give me some assistance with my meds.  So on the whole, this day was not the best.  Even though this day was a little of a downer, I am really looking forward to Friday with Jehara!  When I got home, I walked Cosmo for a long walk, so I could think, and be with my animal and the earth and the air in the outside.  As I was walking, I found two more pine cones in the park, these were in much better shape then the ones I had found yesterday, which I think is a good sign, because we were needing some pine-cones for Friday.   So I feel better now, after my walk, and I know things are going to be okay.  I know I seem to be rambling today, so I think I will stop now.

Amethyst

In your irrational anger
the innocent suffered
Unknowing of your fiery fury
she walked
went on her way
as Amethyst
not expecting the tigers that would soon attack
She had no Diana
to turn her into quartz
No protection came her way
Your tigers pounced
ate their fill
and left small pieces of her
scattered

Aeolus

Keeper of the winds
The winds
controlled prisoner in a cave
Held captive in the unknown enclaves of the mind
The past is dangerous
Like the winds
Liberate from the prison cavern
menacing memories of childhood
longing for freedom
The enormous leather bag
contains things I have tried not to remember
I have guarded the pouch
never opening it for fear of the storms it brings
Tornadoes in the heartland of my home
Hurricanes on my sandy shores
I have grown weary of guarding the bag
I am tired now
having spent all my time protecting the pouch
This task kept me from becoming who I was supposed to be
If I open the stained and old leather bag
letting the winds free
releasing the past
Will I survive the storm
or will what lies hidden in the pouch
destroy me

Here I Am

Well, I have decided to try this blogging thing.  I am a very private person, so this is going to be hard for me.    tic toc tic toc tic toc…….     I have just sat here for 5 minutes and I can’t think of another word.  I hope this gets easier.
