The tremors are upping the ante for me to continue in the Truth Game. Yesterday I had to break down and take a xanax for them (prescribed by my neurologist because nothing else has worked.) It does calm the tremor a bit but leaves me feeling sedated. This is a preview of things to come, sadly.

I have enjoyed the pause from writing notes. I decided to get some prunes, kefir and yogurt, plus blueberries and grapes. I have gained three pounds from those. (And from the cookies and ice cream, as well.) I shall now call this essay “Nothing is easy on Planet Earth.”

I heard a funny line on a Korean drama I was watching last night. A woman asks a man if he thinks there are people on other planets. He answers Yes, because if there aren’t, there is a huge space going to waste.’’ I smiled.

Robert Rabbin is one of my favorite writers. Sadly he died of cancer some years ago. I have had his book, “The Sacred Hub” for years and have underlined most of it. I saw that there was a new edition and promptly ordered it. It is a gold paperback. I put it in the place of honor on my club chair stool and felt glad I had ordered it.

I would quote from it, and I may later, but today is just notification that I will be writing less, more than likely. These neurological issues are a bitch, to put it truthfully. Insert ironic emoji of your choice.

I am choosing to spend more tie in silence and less time in writing. Everything important has already been said and written. It remains for us to become conscious enough that we can profit from it.

Right now I am going to just sit and let nothingness do its thing. Not a bad idea for each one of us. The hard part is continuing on the flight to consciousness. There are intriguing guides if we but heed them. The late Robert Rabbin is one such guide.
