Dear Life, Woke before sunrise. Bloodwork yesterday was overall good but showed a “slight inflammation of the liver”. No answer as to why. So I will have bloodwork again in a month. Not an emergency but my brain sounded alarms. I have the tools to quiet my mind after years of practice: prayer and meditation. And if it is dark, turn the light on. The monsters leave the room. I gratefully saw the soft pink beauty of sunrise.

Dear Life, Brain woke pre-dawn and rolled into a bramble of thoughts. You know what I’m talking about. The existential questions of life and death along side what to eat for breakfast, all of same import. My body has the sense to interrupt the noise by breathing, getting up, turning on the light, reading a spiritual passage, writing a meditation. Focus my thoughts. Definition of bramble: any of a genus of usually prickly shrubs of the rose family, i.e. of the Pamela Rose variety!
