Ah the Saga.....

I have been on a cat family roll the last 4 weeks. Benito and Diego had abscesses. Being an English major, I thought Benito was in worse shape; it looked like it needed to be amputated. I took him to Dr Rebecca who neutered him, gave him shots, and attended his leg. I took him home, he was cooperative about resting. After two days, I checked him over and let him go. I spotted him over the next two days, he looked happy following his neighbor friend around. He is a cosmic wanderer. He came home…See More

Why I want to join the Temple
Hmm. I am following Leila. And, this might sound horrid, but why not? I am seeking what I seek, I am open to whatever that may be. I do not have all the words.
About Myself and My interests
50. In a rut, Free. Reading. Art. Thinking. I do not feel like writing this now....
My Teachers and Influences
My parents, my siblings, my sister in law Stephanie, Jesus, Gandhi, Buddha, hiking, camping, road trips, sitting. I have read a lot, I know I have teachers I cannot remember right now, names. Frank Carner, my mentor and advisor for my BA in English, he loved my anxiety, really, what more could a person want?
My Goals
Umm...
Authors and/or Books I appreciate
Alice Walker always rises to the top. To this day, The Temple of My Familiar blows me away. Apparently it did not blow the "critics" away. The list is endless. I am a mystery junky for the wind down.

The Temple of My Familiar is a misunderstood book, I think,  and that is why it was disliked by the critics--"too far out" we would have said in my youth in the 60's and 70's. 

Similarly complex and far ranging, Anthony Burgess's "Earthly Powers" is derided because it is a "cultural history" of the 20th Century, deep, insightful,  a "low reading." Yet a book to come back to every year, since there's always something to learn, or it is a spin-off to new research. Antonio

Birthday Reflections
Your birthday's a time for careful reflection
About your life, and its future direction.
You see where you've been when you look at the past;
Most of it's great; you had quite a blast!
You wonder what's coming, what life has in store;
Will it be just the same? Will there be a new door?
Remember this, as you blow out the last candle:
Life holds no challenge that you cannot handle.
~ By Joanna Fuchs
