As humans, we take turns letting go and being hit. Love softens this process, and peace slows it down, until in moments that are blessed, we seem to play catch with what we need.
So I lost the plot this morning. My internet stick wouldn't work, and it wasn't so much that it meant that I couldn't see the show with Mir – it was more the fact that I couldn't get online to talk with Mir and share some more time that upset me the most.
No amount of restarting the computer and reconfiguring the connection could get the thing to work. The computer reported from all diagnostics that it was working properly, and yet the program returned, "Connection not possible," every time I tried. Turns out the computer was right. It was a network error. Did I get an apology? Did I heck... do I have internet that works. Yes – thank goodness, right now I do. I'm sure there will probably be other times when there are network errors, but I hope those are few and far between, because I got very upset and frustrated this morning... and also ended up worrying and scaring Mir, which is the last thing I want to do.
On the blessing side, my children were sweet. After the drama lesson we got back to class and they came to say, "We want to tell you something." And then they all sang Happy Birthday to me, first in English, then in Arabic... with many hugs afterwards. It was uplifting.
Even bigger blessings, I can now start to read and to work with one of the fabulous books Mir gave me for my birthday – and thereby hangs a tale to tell, with a support chat to Amazon so that I could actually get the books to my kindle that is registered in the US even though I'm in Egypt, and it wasn't going to let me download them. The support person was very helpful, and put them into my digital list for me, and then my kindle application downloaded them with no trouble. And for that I'm both glad and very excited, because I believe they are going to be fabulous to work with. One of them I'm saving for the new year, as it's a day by day thing – so while Mir works with Aslan, I will be working with the Goddess. But the other one I'd saving for a year of me – starting today. I decided I will read a little until I come across something I wish to comment on, and then I will think, meditate, and comment upon that particular idea, thought or section of the book. An exciting prospect... I can't thank Mir enough... as always she has given me just what I need to support and protect me – my inner as well as my outer self. I couldn't wish for a better husband, and in that is a blessing that is immeasurable and priceless.
Inside gravity,
the same things happen,
just slower.
