I’m gonna cut back on my essay-writing this week. Trying to get over my tooth extraction and infection, which has left me surprisingly weak.
I am increasingly conscious of the aging process, which is not talked about in polite society, except in humor, and I do love that. I just don’t have the stamina I had before getting neuropathy and its attendant complications.

The word “no” is an increasingly important word for me.I am the only one that knows my energy level at any given time, except for Rob.

At some point I will quit writing, but not for a long time. I have much more to say and share the “beyond words” kind of energy that we on the path learn to utilize.

Saying no to the world is a yes to my essence. We should not be afraid to say no and yet we are. That is because society has falsely conditioned us to be “nice.”

What a stupid word to those on the Way. It is a great effort just to be kinder to oneself! (And that I intend to do.)

Love to all,

Vicki
