Ain't Life Funny

In the past few weeks I have experienced quite a few 'mystical events', I had my tarot cards read at a collegue's farewell party, another colleague told me about this Spiritualist Church I should attend ... little did she realise I live just around the courner from the venue and it's held on a Thursday at 7.30pm, (she told me on a Thursday and I was finishing work at 7pm?). However I knew my mom is interested in all this flapdoodle so we'll be attending it tomorrow night for the first time. My friend who studies astrology read my mom's birth chart for her and something that I commented on that very morning was exactly what came out. We also did astrological yearly forecasts for my mom, flatmate and myself. It evolved around endings and new beginnings for Mom, emotions for Marc, then self and worldly exploration for me. To what extent are we cosmic puppets I wonder?

It's been fantastic having Mom to stay, great catch-ups, wonderful meals, she likes to wash dishes which is just heavenly. Last week was an emotional rollercoaster, one minute I was on an absolute high, then letting the tears flow and finally feeling grounded, just to have it happen all over again, and again. There's been considerable personality changes, mainly on my behalf but I'm sure her time is coming. I have a lot of admiration for her making such a seismic move at this time of her life, her mind is still in Bulawayo but that will take time too.

For those of you who believe in positive thoughts or prayer, please give a moment to my father who is still in Zim and feeling very lonely and alone right now, spending most evenings at home in an unlit house - due to frequent power cuts, fuel shortages etc. Please also think about my brother Kevin who has lost vision in one eye for nearly a month now, he's currently in South Africa to get proper medical attention. So far the cause has been put down to stress and trauma, the extent of the damage is not yet known.

Life is still so beautiful.


London this weekend, yay!
