Move Me, Move Me
Just a short one today, as I think I kind of shot my wad yesterday and am all wrote out.
I'm reading this book by Thomas Moore called Care of the Soul, and so far the main gist of it is that whatever is causing you pain in your life is actually your soul's way of calling attention to itself. Your soul is saying, Hey, I need something and you'd better figure it out and take care of me.
You may recall that I've been having soul issues for some time now, so I'm hoping to gain some insight from this book. Trouble is that every time I sit down to read it, I start to cry. I can only take in a few pages at a time, so it may take me a while to get through. I'm also not sure I'm buying it yet, but I'm going to keep reading.
And for whatever reason, I can't get this James Taylor song out of my head:
James Taylor--"Another Grey Morning" mp3 off JT (buy) (custom ripped from vintage vinyl by mr. mjrc, complete with crackle and hiss)
I read this at my Dad's funeral, a few years ago now...
i've a song that i need to send you that's related to this theme... and
will do so later on (i think you'll like it)
Hope your soul issues are getting better. Take a rest. You've written a
lot.
crash--that is the loveliest, most hopeful thing i've heard in a long time.
thank you for sharing it and for wishing it my way. truly.
Dearest Marcy, do listen to yourself. Indeed, have compassion for
yourself, for self-compassion goes a long way towards understanding all the
gubbins that's going on inside. And do rest - maybe I'll chase up those
Greenlanders for you and see when that dang plane will be coming...
would that i could, dear fil, would that i could. and yes, please do light
a fire under those greenlanders--i need a vacation! : )
Well really the problem is quite easy to solve.
hey, good to hear from you, fraser! even though i couldn't possibly follow
your advice! ;-)
Little things, Marcy. Find and enjoy the little things.
