Grandma made these sounds,
resigned complaining "oomphs"
and "oyes."
She made them when she stood up
('why did it seem so effortful?' I wondered as a kid.
Well now
I'M
making those sounds!
My back has been taunting me.
That motorcycle-circus flip I took at 16
started the whole thing:
Flying off the bike,
landing right next to a big, pointy rock,
looking for my glasses in the dark.
The shame.
I never told anyone.
So my back "locks up"
like 95% of y'all in the general population.
Right now, I'm at the mobile stage
WITH grandma sounds.
Oye!
So that's why I haven't been around to
your posts
as much as I like to be
(or been and enjoyed but spared myself the typing a comment).
So there,
that's personal.
You surely noticed that my posts
are (i try :) uplifting,
But of course I've been
anguishing
over:
the oil, the Gulf,
the wars,
the economy,
the blockade runners. . .
and on and on.
THAT's why I seek the light;
Because otherwise
it could all overwhelm me.
Grandma made sounds
when she watched the news too.
Sounds of pity and disbelief.
Now I'm making those sounds.
We need a little Summer Magic
right about now, eh?
Thanks for fixing some up with me!
I love you guys-
