I know all is well:
I am hopeful that "his" India vision quest will have a happy ending. His plan was 4 months!
His journey began bringing his beautiful girlfriend here to meet us and then taking a month to work/study in an ashram in Mass. and then visiting with his dad and the rest of the "family" in NYC. He decided to make his journey alone and he had a wonderful joyous send off....(there can be freedom in a solitary mission) a great start and now the middle path is getting a little bumpy. What I mean is, India is never what one expects or so they tell me. (I have never been to India and I have zero desire to make the trip). The good news is he know's what to do and the other good news is it's not my vison quest.

I am (the mom) here in Florida holding a good thought.
If it is normal to arrive in India excited, confused and overwhelmed, then
relief is what I pesonally would want for him. When I think of his journey, I can only imagine his reality. I am choosing to imagine him finding his relief and then going further on his quest, I am hopeful that he will choose relief first. I already see him in my mind finding ways to soothe the frayed nerves. Number one in my opinion would be his medicine. I cannot make him swallow.

My heart is filled with love and the best comforting thoughts I can think.
However:
My stomach is filled with butterfliles.
My hands were clammy and cold...hummm..... earlier.
Hummm...they have warmed up a bit.
I notice that my butterflies that were in my stomach all morning are gone.
Ha!
It must be the digging in the garden again. I just spent the better part of an hour digging and clipping. It was wonderful. The soil was sandy and yet dirty. Today I wore my gardning gloves. My figernails are clean!
I found my bucket, shovel and potting soil, just where I left them yesterday.
Today I planted "verigated" ivy (another house plant that I had indoors for years) around the big sign post in front of our comm'l parking lot.
The ivy is spread out on the ground. I am going to train it to weave around the massive sign post. It will probaly take a few months or years but in time it will be very attractive.
I hope I choose a good spot for it to be planted in.
This spot gets a full blast of the Flordia sunshine.
Yes the good news is my hands are warm and I am hopeful. I'll take good news in whatever degree I can. If I don't see it, I'll find it. I know all is well.
