Riding Home

I'm so grateful for all the lives I've led, all the parts played in this human panoply of characters. I'm so grateful I didn't get stuck in the rehearsal with a boxed life or a part meant for mimes. Thank You Universe, for giving me the spice and all the sordid places that brought me into the light on bent knee with charms too numerous to mention. I'm so grateful for the ride home.

Hey Sue. So nice to hear from you. i must have the wrong email address for you because i think one time way back I sent you something and you never got it then either. Just want you to know my heart has broken for you. I know you are ok, and will be better soon, but it is very tough going, I know. So, just sending you a GREAT BIG HUG with BIG LOVE. I have been thinking of you. Take care, Shar xoxoxo

I think we all feel this way at times. The many parts we play throughout our lives. I think I did get stuck in that box though at one time...lol. Guess it's what makes us who we are today. Love the write Sue.
