Cake and Long Love

The miseducation of………

About 10 days ago, waking early which is a new habit of mine, I turned to the newsfeed and within fifteen mins my head was going somewhere not good, fear and a shrinking down of what life I had, in the face of COVID19 and the anticipated exposure of my family, many I work with and myself. Thankfully a change of direction to settling on gratitude and life opened up again to what it more fully is for me.
A response though to the possibilities that I feared was a resolve over the next few days to say to those I love, family and soul brothers and soul sisters that I loved them and so I have proceeded. I often recognise that feeling of love, but rarely give it that word. I miss more than their hugs.

Today is MrsMackems birthday and that reminds me of long love. It’s just over 38 years since I first asked her to dance, and we’ve danced in so many ways since and still do, with more memory now and knowing but still discovering.
