We’re home now and doing all the rigmarole necessary to get my husband back on the road, unpacked, repacked, etc. Okay so we stayed in bed and watched Goodfellas for the 107th time this morning but this does not mean I am not trying to assimilate our honeymoon and come up with something potent and concise to post to the blog because I am. The problem is so much competes.
I heard today that an astrologer has stage 4 cancer. I care about the man deeply even though I barely know him and realities like this – death and loss, are on my mind front and center.
I saw and experienced a lot over these last days. Some of it was funny, some of it sad and almost all of it poignant.
I have been aware for awhile that I am trying to build something (a business, this blog, a family, friendships etc.) in a environment or climate where things are decaying. I have been at this for a number of years. My blog came up as my daughter went down and I remember telling satori about 6 years ago that this was my mortal fear.  Who wants to do well while their child does poorly? It was unthinkable at the time but that is exactly what happened and now I see it happening at large.
Everywhere we went I saw people trying to build or maintain themselves, their families, their standards and principles in a climate where everything is so uncertain. They hope for the best but prepare for the worst which is sometimes exactly what unfolds, I can tell you from personal experience.
Not everyone is in a dire circumstance though. I’m not and I feel very strongly I should help and support as many people I can so I come back doubly committed to working to my capacity to maintain this blog that so many rely on. I’m just going to keep pitching, that’s all.
I feel really good. Really good, and really experienced that is and I do think it is a gift to have the opportunity to work and utilize all your skills. On this front, I am the luckiest person I know which just goes to show you there is life after death, life after crushing, crashing or whatever else happens to you…
The astrologer I mentioned will eventually die but he will leave behind a body of work and people like me who have been infused by his energy and will carry on his tradition. I don’t think people realize how important they are.
10 years ago you said something to someone and they still remember it. For most of us this is true.

P.S welcome back Elsa P! I sure missed ya! Glad you had a remarkable time on your honey moon. Love love love
Welcome Home! Hope it was wonderful!!
(And sending thoughts and prayers to whoever this is who has the cancer……(motherf******* cancer!!!)
Yeah, Dorothy. He was planning his wedding when I was planning mine. It’s so sad. We’re about the same age and there is no reason in the world for it to be him and not me.
Sigh……..I hate that. It just sucks, and I have lost too many people to it. Just makes you want to scream, and keep screaming.
So sorry for your friend……
I just have to clarify – he’s not a friend of mine though I’d have been honored. I just know him via attending one of his workshops and by his body or work and his stellar reputation… also via facebook.
I think he knows me sort of the same way because I did get a very nice note from him out of clear blue sky when I posted about some difficulty I was having. I couldn’t believe it. He’s just a nice, nice man.
Welcome home Elsa. I’m glad you’re here.
Welcome back, Elsa
Sorry to hear about the astrologer w/cancer…such an evil disease 
will pray for him
This post made me think of the Dave Matthews song, “When The World Ends”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doT5uZLInWc
“I’m gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the buildings crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we’ll be churning
You know, love will be our wings
The passion rises up from the ashes
When the world ends”
So, so glad you’re home. Looking forward to hearing the thoughts that came out of your honeymoon! Welcome back!
welcome home elsa:) i’m glad you two were able to do this honeymoon biz (i hope your wrist got a break, too)!
Thanks… it went so fast. We haven’t had this long together in our lives (he had to go to the missile for 2 days every 2 days when we were kids – it was grand but it just goes to show you, there is no such thing as enough. His friend asked if I would be glad to be home – answer – NO! I could easily have spent another week or two or 3 or several months pal-ing around. I guess it’s one of the truths though – passion thrives on impediment and we sure have a lot of that!
It’s mind boggling what I absorbed in such a short number of days. I would call it a whirlwind if it were not all so deep but it IS all so deep, at least to me.
Everyone we saw has known him for 30, 40 or 50 years. That’s a lot to encounter like a wall of energy. Anyone who has known him less than 30 years has known him their whole life so you see what I mean. Add it up…
I met a lot of people, aged 2 – into their 70′s – 500 years of knowledge of my husband at least and I’m just standing there, yes? Imagine that.
WOW
Welcome back. You do good work here & you were missed. Love you, love your blog.
Welcome back; you were missed.
Welcome back!! You are Energized – I can feel it!!!
“Everywhere we went I saw people trying to build or maintain themselves”…I totally understand this (in my reality). Compassion and understanding galore!
That’s the stuff of Life..those that miss it, well, who knows? Those of us that get it? We drink from the fountain of Life…
We missed you…Lots of love for your marital bliss!
I’m glad to hear your honeymoon was fulfilling, Elsa. Welcome home !
Welcome back Elsa.
I just lost a friend to cancer two days ago… and then also a relative (not to cancer) three days ago.. so there seems to be a lot of death around..
Glad you’re back Elsa! Hope to hear your thoughts soon
Welcome back. You’re energy feels very clear and focused here in this post.
