this morning thinking about my mom

this morning i had the experience of waking up -


and not feeling possessing of myself -

i felt the call to duty down at the chapel

and that call had me not feeling satisfied or connected to

 my experience here in the room

it reminded me of my mother - who I think had a very

hard time feeling connected to her experience

she once said (or perhaps many times) 'I want to feel

more connected to the universe" -

what I am thinking is that was really a wish to feel her own

experience and somehow deal with her own insecurity of

living life as herself

the same goes for me - I am realizing -

this morning - I woke and just the looming demand for me

to be down at the chapel - had me feeling like I hadn't slept

or rested at all - like i  had no personal experience

outside of being together in the group - and so of course

thinking on that - my body jerked compulsively to try 

and find or own my life here in my room -

and so I did - and it gave me perspective on my mom

eventually and respect for her and her experience -

and difficulty

 

now I've got to do a few chores up here before I go down

have a great day
