Quiet Observations, common, frequent, often known, the usual.

 

Sad.  Shitty retirement. Almost a month.  Now - over the next week, it begins.  One month without a paycheck after 45 years or more.  Can I do this?  I have prepared.  My spiritual practice is my back.

I watch vintage couples, my age walking hand in hand.  Walking, walking, moving through the landscape.  Having a meal, walking the dog, driving, taking a trip, shopping, doing those things that people our age do together. 

I know we women are strong, calm, all seeing or at least clear sited. 

Clear sited.

Remember to pause. 

Listening deeply. 

Compassionate self care.

Sense of the collective.
