what is the point of having a blog if you can’t tell everyone what’s going on?
a lot is going on. bad things, tragic things, wonderful things, sexy things, not-so-sexy things. lots of equilibrium and disequilibrium and WHAT IS THE POINT OF BLOGGING if i can’t GIVE IT MY ALL?
i am giving it my all, believe me, just can’t write about it.
everything is fine with Wacky Family, the three funny, furry cats, the fish, frogs and snails, we’re fine. but in the bigger picture? for some of us things are not so fine. I worry. but at the same time, there is happiness. Peace might happen someday (“there’s a chance/peace will come/in your life/please buy one” — Melanie, “Peace Will Come/According to Plan”) (my favorite song when i was 7, which is the exact age my boy is right now.) Here she is with those little peaceniks, June and Johnny. And here she is, live.
I would like to request that all the long-haired hippie girls with their guitars come back and help us work on peace some more.
Peace is not trite. I want peace.
this song is so pretty, i have to give you all the lyrics:
“There’s a chance peace will come in your life please buy one
For sometimes when I am feeling as big as the land
With the velvet hill in the small of my back
And my hands are playing the sand
And my feet are swimming in all of the waters
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man
Well sometimes when I am feeling so grand
And I become the world
And the world becomes a man
And my song becomes a part of the river
I cry out to keep me just the way I am
According to plan
According to man, according to plan
According to man, according to plan
For sometimes when we have reached the end
With the velvet hill in the small of my backs
And our hands are clutching the sand
Will our blood become a part of the river
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man
There’s a chance peace will come
In your life please buy one”

Have been to that place where the emotion is so deep and personal that if you do write about it in a blog, others would then see what is going on. Sometimes, you just don’t want to expose your family’s trials, tribulations and anything else that you are going through publicly in a blog. Which made me think, why then write? But my blog is my blog, not my family’s and I thought it wouldn’t be fair to air all my laundry out for (4) readers to see.
Peace is nice but it can be boring! When it does happen, the pessimist in me is always waiting for that phone call or the other shoe to drop. Hope you are a healthy and recovered from your surgery late last year.
