Stitched up throat
A cut throat has been my easy halloween costume for 4 of the 8 past years. Glue on a fake scar, dab some putty around it and finish with fake blood dripping from it.
This month it was real. I had a goiter removed surgically. I went under the knife to be cut open, rearranged and stitched back up.
I'm usually so busy and so full of energy that the prescribed time spent resting now seems absolutely necessary but very odd.
I am restless, but tired at the same time.
Last night I was in Palm Springs at my friend Pamela's beautiful house near a golf course. The sky was soft black and lit up with stars.
We watched shooting stars. I counted ten.
Shooting across the sky.
I forgot to make wishes. Instead I thought of how I wanted to be less anxious in my daily life. Be as connected as I could. Be more graceful, gracious.
Surgery and shooting stars - makes me want to do well. be well.
