Cleansing Tears

On Saturday we were listening to a Josh Groban concert. He is an amazing performer. One of his older songs has taken on a new meaning for me.

When I heard "To Where You Are" my tears flowed freely remembering all of the important friends, lovers and family I have lost over the last eleven years. The most recent being Herm.

Here is a photo of him in "Daddy Dog" mode. With my furry son, Passion.

They were good tears, cathartic tears, cleansing tears.

A Mind Wandering Just a Little

I have the gift of a wandering mind today. When I take a break during my day, I have wonderful thoughts of vacation spots ... dogs who were my companions ... friends no longer her in body but totally with me in spirit ... great meditation spots I have enjoyed.

Here I am from a Vision Expo from several years ago. This is the trade show for my industry: medical optics. My associate, Gaby, took this picture. We shared many laughs. Even though he is no longer on this earthly plane, his laughter and jokes will always remain with me. As will all of my lame jokes about his bald head.

What good memory come to your wandering mind right now?

To a Personal Valhalla

My sister and I enjoy playing World of Warcraft. Yes, we meditate and seek personal and world peace ... and play WOW. These activities are not really at odds with one another. So, I am a happy woman AND a level 70 Death Knight. LOL Here is the photo my sister took at the gate.

So, before trotting off to a nice lunch and a walk in the sunshine at a lovely mall, we went to the Blizzard Headquarters. The guard allowed us to stop long enough for a couple of photos. Definately a trip to Valhalla for an online gamer.

Twould be a marvelous world indeed when only avatars online die and they get to resurrect immediately. A world where real war has vanished and no more soldier graves are needed. Let us all create that world together.
