…I have been here in the United States since May 17 and in San Francisco since May 19. It has been a quite delightful and message laden return to the Bay Area. I have seen numerous friends…some real heart-to-heart joy filled and tearful moments. Linda Bacon and her husband Charles threw a major party for my birthday at their home in Kentfield. I am so blessed to have so many old souls in my life to live and play with. Jamie Leo flew in from New York. Jamie and I go back to the 1970's in the Village….woah! We saw Marcia Ball and her band at Yoshi's on my birthday….she rocked the house. Poor…Dear…Divine…and most Beloved Carol Wheeler got ill and was unable to attend the show…Last evening we had dinner with Lolita and Catherine Abby in Larkspur…two bottles of wine…laughs…good food…ahhhhh mashed potatoes! And then today…it happened….I got in a car accident in the rain driving Richard's car…it was my fault…nobody was injured…but it has been a tremendous wake up call…My aggressive Taxi techniques from New York days must cease…waiting is the key to this puzzle….I am feeling extremely vulnerable and shaky…I could have killed myself or the other driver…it was an accident and a message….I was on my way to a meeting….and kerwap!….Wake up! Wake up! The real lesson here is to acknowledge how vulnerable we all are and to bring as much awareness to all tasks…..to awaken and smell the coffee…have a cup…and witness….
Anado: You are fine and not injured physically. That is the focus! The car can get repaired. The other guy was not hurt. Helga called and said that you were much calmer after tea. Isn’t their gallery beautiful? She was so excited about the 3 necklaces. So right there, immediately after the fender-bender, was bountiful energy. I do hope I get to see you before you leave? Tomorrow I will make CDs and hopefully get them to you or to Richard to take the SMdA. If not, I will bring them in August. I will soon post photos on Flickr. Sending you much love!!! Linda
Linda is absolutely right!!!
Forgive..ness..and Breathe!ah………lessons in forgiveness and be here now.
Anado,
Just happy you are OK. I would give this lots of room and not spend too much time with it. Bless you friend.
Jack
you asshole.
what is wrong with you?
you’ve been driving,for what, 50 years and you still can’t keep from crashing into another car or person.
They should take your license away from you.
You are a danger and a menace to society.
Can’t you do ANYTHING right??
You stupid ex-New York darting in and out, squeezing every extra inch out of the road as if it is LIFE itself!!!
(hope you’re fine and pass the humor…)
Anado, I can empathize a lot, as I had a similar experience a year ago on the carretera. It’s definitely a wake up call, and one that’s full of grace. Be Grateful.
I give thanks that you are well.
Joan
And you were saying you had to stop driving like a New York cabdriver… I guess you knew already, but needed some kind of wakeup call. I’m just really glad it was a gentle one, apparently.
The Divine Carol!
Moses,
I hate to tell you,but that is not funny!
