my friend riki just left to go back to san diego. and i'm s-a-d.
it was so so nice to have her here. to have a partner in crime to eat pounds of swedish fish with me. to eat peanut butter filled pretzels with me. to watch movies and bad tv with me. to have someone drive me around. especially to have someone drive me to dinner - courtesy of her mom. and to have an old old friend look at my scar and tell me there was something strangely beautiful about it. xoxo
eric will be back tomorrow from the singer family reunion in nj.
and then caroline will be here tuesday from montana...there's so little time to be lonely! things are looking good.
but until then, i'm feeling a little depressed about riki leaving.
i guess i should snuggle up with kitty and distract myself with harry potter.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
