SpaceMonkey
Jun. 25th, 2013 09:41 pmSo, today happened. I woke up and immediately checked phone msgs & e-mail, then launched right into crossing t's and dotting i's and getting involved in phone calls and more e-mails andandand then it was nearly 2pm and I'd not eaten and was still in my PJs and realized I'd begun channeling my inner SpaceMonkey. Took a break to shower, dress, eat, and read some, then dove back into document-culling 'n' organizing.
Today's box o' mostly recyclables included lotsa good brain-fodder. I found - and've discarded - print-outs of directions from the Hive to PDX, to CopperMoon, and to
jaylake's casa. I now know how to get to these particular places oh-so-well, as they became - even if'n they've not all remained - intimately connected to my life here in the PacNW. In fact, it's hard to imagine a time when I didn't have that knowledge ingrained in my very being. Yet not so many years back, it was all new to me.
Now I wonder what - and who - I'll know a few years hence that I have no - or little - awareness of now. Who'll be part of my regular constellation(s)? Who will I visit and have over and spend time with who I only barely know now, or perhaps haven't even met yet? Part of what puts these thoughts in such sharp focus is the fact that it's gonna be oh-so-odd (not to mention incredibly sad and hard) when
jaylake's star fades and he passes on from this life (e.g., when he dies). This'll happen far sooner than I'd (and he'd) like. Heck, it could be tomorrow, or possibly in a couple of years. Currently, my stretch goals are to go to see Hobbit 2 & 3 w/him when they open on 12/14/13 and 07/18/14, respectively.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying and appreciating the journey and my life through it.
