Right Now
is the name of this blog I’ve decided to begin
writing today, when I’m arguably at the height of my human “powers,” and having
a devil of a time acting like it. That’s because, although I have somewhat
managed, recently, to lower the level of the overall stakes in my life, they’re
still pretty high up there in light of my internal pressure gauge: there’re are
a lot of things I’m not handling very well. The major ones are employment, thus
finances, and the rest are all relatively minor where progress is needed. The
major positives, however are my spiritual health, as I think I’m starting to
“get it,” at least a bit, and although I’m in terrible shape physically, still
I think I’m finally able to put to use my “fear of God” in order to do something
about that.
Let’s
see, I’ve got a pool (above-ground, 18,000 gallons, far as I know) to open up,
which is filled with tadpoles, and a lot of leaves from last fall (for myself
I’ll say that many came into the pool since I did my best winterizing it in October/November
last year, so it’s not like I just left it like that – an effort WAS made). The
water’s kind of green as you might imagine. Plus I’ve got a good four hours of
lawn-mowing to do; fortunately, my neighbor Steve, a gifted motorhead by trade,
has revived the mower which captures clippings in a bag, obviating extensive
raking of clippings, which reduces overall effort. Thank GOD I like mowing!
Right now, it’s raining again, and I’m so tired of this Pacific
Northwest (seemingly constant) precipitation pattern we seem to have acquired
in Maine, it’s very easy for me to get dispirited about the outside work on my
agenda – not my favorite thing anyway. But the ex-wife AND the beloved
Daughter, plus the very interesting PhD son-in-law, AND the beautIFicent
granddaughter (five months plus) all arrive in about a month, and I STRONGly
wish NOT to demonstrate, when they arrive, the kind of total incapacitation
disaster that is starting to have good potential for materializing right
(about) now.
