Reconnecting with Peggy & Mao Mao at their party last night was not only the best part of my day but one of the best parts of the whole year, a wonderful way to end a year and bring in a new one. I was hearing things and seeing things that usually pass by me unnoticed, like Peggy & Mao Mao pausing in the conversation just long enough for me to hear someone else say something that was totally congruent with what was going on inside me. It was like the outside was confirming what I felt in my core. I dared to believe in beauty and immediately started seeing it all around me. After midnight, when Mao Mao & I were standing on his porch looking at the sparkling, sweeping view of the city below, Mao Mao said something funny, and when I tilted my head back to laugh, I saw a shooting star.
Me: "Should I marry Bill?"
Magic 8 Ball: "Get a clue."
Bill: "Should I marry LeeLee?"
Magic 8 Ball: "Get a clue." (!!)
Bill & I laughed so hard over that one. Thank god for our sense of humor in our time of difficulty.
