Rosaly,
I wanted to call you today many times, but I let myself be busy taking care of all the odds and ends, and of the dog. I did get out and walk to the post office. One of the blessings of being in this little, little town. The post office is only a block away.
Tim continues to trooper on. He has his second round of chemo next week. He seems to be enduring them with only a few side effects, mostly fatigue. He has a detached attitude about the body. He shows me the hair leaving his body with a scientist's musing. He might just have the right attitude about all of this to make it through.
We went to a chanting/meditation for New Year's Eve. I don't know what was being chanted, but it was nice to slip into the rhythm of the syllables and just be with it. It was a sanskrit text. Then, a meditation until midnight. It was clear, dark, and cold when we left. It was like a midnight adventure. Fortunately, it's only a few minutes from the apartment.
Tim's little white dog hurt her paw jumping off the bed last night, so today I was her nurse while Tim went to work. Poor little puppy. I had to carry her outside to go potty. She just sort of looked at me with her little cloudy eyes and asked without saying. I don't want to own any pets after this. I don't like the constant reminder of what waits behind every green leaf.
It would be good to hear your voice. I will call you Thursday or Friday.
I wish it were a short car ride to where you are. I could come over for tea.
Much love,
Luisa
ps. Have you seen this book "The pH Miracle" by Dr. Robert Young? I'm wondering if alkalizing might help with the blood pressure.
