Caring for myself

Sitting on top of my old tube style TV, one of my favorite vases holds a new bouquet I purchased on Christmas eve eve.

I wonder if these squeezed up little mums will open.
 

As Saturday drew to a close, I had discovered 2 major domestic crisies...first the wall heating unit in the living room has gone kaput...puts out with fan only, no heat. Secondly, the car has that dreaded "Check Engine" light on...so no driving around town till I get a mechanic to look at it. Both will have to wait till Mon.

Today's Quote:

Spirit, rehearse the journeys of the body
that are to come, the motions
of the matter that held you.

Rise up in the smoke of palo santo.
Fall to the earth in the falling rain.
Sink in, sink down to the farthest roots.
Mount slowly in the rising sap
to the branches, the crown, the leaf-tips.
Come down to earth as leaves in autumn
to lie in the patient rot of winter.
Rise again in spring’s green fountains.
Drift in sunlight with the sacred pollen
to fall in blessing.
                                    All earth’s dust
has been life, held soul, is holy.

Ursula K. Leguin
