Tilt-a-whirl This morning I feel like I just stepped off the tilt-a-whirl. This last weekend I was in Manhattan Beach, near LA again. It was another three day union meeting and it was intense. The meeting ended earlier than I expected yesterday and I got back at a decent hour and had dinner at home. After dinner we saw a movie. We saw "Grand Canyon!" What a movie to see after an intense weekend in LA. The movie is a mind bender. It is about who we are, what our world has become, the meaning of life, karma, chance, our uniqueness and the insignificance of us all in the expanse of time. It is a movie about how life simply does not make sense, how we do not make sense and how that can be both horrifying and wonderful, depending on the circumstances. It is a movie about humanity and miracles and I have been thinking a lot about this movie today. We got to dance! After the last meeting Saturday night the union held a late dinner and dance. I went right to the dance from our unit nine meeting. I was carrying my notes from the meeting. I set them down and never saw them again. I danced a lot with long time friends in the union. It was so much fun. I needed that. We danced until the DJ went home... Steve is coming! Soon he will be here. It is so wonderful to be having my sons together. It is amazing the things we miss the most in life are often things in the past we once were able to take for granted. Like having my kids together. I have been missing that so much! 12:45:18 PM    comment []
