Day 5: Today

Today I got to sit in my hot tub and watch as the snow fell in clusters like cotton balls on my face.  Sometimes I would catch a cluster of snowflakes on my tongue.  I don't know if I can put into words what it was like to watch the snow fall this afternoon.  I felt connected to the beginning of the universe thanks to the  17.8 billion year old Hydrogen atoms that fell on my face.  That is the power of narrative.  That is the embracing of spirituality beyond the science.  That is how I can share space in both worlds of the data and the dreaming.  

Today, I have been soaking in the beautiful music of an old friend.  Shannon and her husband and daughter have been filling my ears and the empty space that dwells in my atoms... otherwise knows as spirit.  Again I find away to go beyond the science to the spiritual.  Shannon died three years ago.   We attended grade school together for eight years.  Only once in the forty two years since I left Fort St. John, did I get to visit with her.  I just found out last year that she had passed away in 2022 from leukemia.  Today I have been "blucky" to listen to her voice, see her sing and enjoy her online presence for a few hours.  

("blucky" is a combination of blessed and lucky... more lucky than blessed, but still a bit blessed)
