I usually park as far away from my classes as I can get in the school parking lot: so I have a bit of a ways to walk, which helps my digestion. I hate sitting at those computer desks, I always get cramped up and accumulate gas. Hence the walk...
I was walking to my truck last night, from my Intro to Computers class. And I was feeling very very alone and lonely ... and I was thinking along the usual line of thought when I feel that lonely, 'why can't I get relief from prayer'? (Because I don't believe in 'god' per se.) Well... I was thinking to myself that even though I don't believe in 'god' per se, prayer is indeed helpful to many, or at least meditation. I haven't done it in some time. When I got in the car and turned on NPR this woman was on talking to Terry Gross. As you can see if you follow the link, her book sounds somewhat like something I want to write. I'm guessing if I ever do write that book, it will be somewhere between "Lit" and "A Million Little Pieces".
Well...when I turned on that radio, what I heard was Ms. Karr talking about how she got down on her knees and just asked for god to keep her sober in the morning and thanked god for keeping her sober at night. I knew right then she was in AA.
It was quite an excerpt to climb into the car and have pop out of my radio just as I was thinking all about that.
So I guess it was a message to get back into some kind of prayer/meditation.
And I want to read that book... gotta try to find a used one on Amazon.
I wrestled with giving that woman in that two-hour-away city the heave-ho. She's blond and cute and all that but she wasn't into writing any personal details in her emails and I told her it wasn't going anywhere, and she didn't protest.
LOL. And I have yet to hear from my friend in B'ham. And I gave Danny the heave-ho as well but I'm regretting that. I did send an e-mail asking HER for forgiveness, she didn't do anything to me.
And she was trying to get ahold of me for the longest time. I don't know why I pushed her away.
And now I've pushed everyone away and am perfectly miserably happy in my solitude. :)
