Can't breathe

Sometimes when someone gets so in awe of another being, another item of food, another lover, another shock, it's almost like you can't breathe. That thing, person, place, almost takes your breathe away. There's that song from The Police, its lyrics quotes "take my breath away". However, it's not that I am so awestruck by something... rather it's that I can't breathe.

I really can't breath through one of my noses at this time and it makes me feel really congested, almost nauseated because of the limitations on my normal breathing.

Weird. So I heard the flu was going around.. and now I am so blessed to be having it. I think in a lot of ways getting sick has given me new perspective. so much so... that i need to take a break and get back to this later.

peace, jm

Reconnecting once again. ( many hours later)

It's been funny. I feel like I am in this constant state of moving. Having moved back to SF since last October, I have found myself frequently moving from various rooms of the current house that I am staying in. The average time I stay in one room is about two - three months and then I somehow get relocated elsewhere. It is good though. Again, another reminder to me that life is much like that -- always in a temporal state of motion -- and that life here on earth isn't the end of it all.

I was reading about angels in this book tonight. It's interesting because the time of the year that I hear about angels the most is usually around two major holidays. Guess which two?

I'm thinking Christmas and Valentines day. In this book that I was reading it discussed how angels according to the Bible are usually of the male gender. Interesting enough. Some of these angels are called cheribums and seraphim. I am sure I mispelled the names.

More to talk about later as I am getting sleepy eyed. My sleeping pattern has been significantly thrown off since I have been sick for almost what feels like a week. But next week is going to be a good week. A special friend from VA Beach is visiting. Woohoo.

peace -- oh yeah.. speaking of peace -- sometimes I would like to use the expression.. "Peace in the Middle East".. and now with the recent news events surrounding what has happening.... pretty interesting how the unfolding of world news works.

peace my friend.. talk to you soon.
