Another List, or More of what I probably won't do in 2017
For many many years I have been collecting left behind grocery lists, usually in Pioneer supermarket, the scruffy local store that's been here longer than I have. Imagine the anti-Whole Foods.
People leave behind their lists, and although the words often repeat (One woman, years ago, wrote EGGS with 11 exclamation points and those eggs became something more) it's the handwriting, the paper, the people behind each list.
What I Won't Do, Probably
Meditate every day, much as
I want to. Today for instance,
I was going to go to Meditation Class,
one of the best ways for me to
meditate. Deepak Chopra on Youtube
is never sufficient and I like the class.
Instead I will go to pick up the baby
at the exact time that we sit
in a circle, eyes closed tight.
With all babies and this one
in particular it is important not to
do anything else except be
with her, largely running down the street.
If I were a better rationalizer
I'd say chasing Ahava was a form
of meditation though it's not.
