Tuesday night – greetings from the road

Hi friends.. I’m writing from a rest stop on I89 on the way home.

I was supposed to have stayed another day in Armonk.. but the coming snowstorm made me want to come home.. Actually.. missing my family and the coming snowstorm made me want to come home.   The meeting I was attending down there had just started to get interesting, but I didn’t want to get stranded down there tomorrow by the weather. I think I made a good call.. the drive back has been pretty tough.. Normally it takes me between  5 and 6 hours.. So far tonight it’s taken me 7 .. and I still have close to an hour to go.It’s a tough night to be on the roads..  There’s a ton of snow on the road.. I was going under 30 MPH for a large part of I- 91 in VT. It’s also the kind of night when the snow coming at your windshield tries to hypnotize you…   Here’s a blurry picture to give you a feel.. I kinda like the blur.. it’s what my eyes feel like now

One saving grace tonight is the book on tape I’m listening to.. still Tolle’s ‘The New Earth’.. It’s a book about Being in the moment.. There are so many things in this book that resonate with what I/we have gone through since Sam’s death. Not just the very sad parts .. but also the ‘awakening’ to the present.

 I don’t think I can explain the book any better than I can explain the transformation I’m going through. I’m just realizing that I’m now so much more ‘awake’…   That said, I’m pretty sleepy.. so I better get back on the road.. More tomorrow.. Gnite all.. Gnite Sam..
