soul to squeeze.....

ahhhhh....

long day...with two little raccoons....and so happy to just sit for a second and eat dinner....(this blog is a couple of days old...)


there are things you can't get in Canada...so I am going to stock the car up with my comfort contraband....

1.  hatch green chilis
2.  mounds....yes, I know....they don't have these in Canada...weird.
3.  cracklin' oat bran
4.  double noodle chicken soup


and I am absolutely wiped today.....and have no idea why....it was a beautiful warm day....but really super windy....

I think the trip is just catching up with me.....and now....I just want to do nothing....

visiting my Mom can really...just take it out of me....

my head hurts...

my nose is running...

I'm wiped out...

and it occurred to me....that....sometimes...we think of how much we have to take care of things like....physical things...eat the right foods....take vitamins....

our lips get dry...and we can throw on some kind of lip balm....our skin gets dry and we can slap on some lotion...

but what happens when your soul....gets tired? or weak? or dry?  or....just...hurts?  I'm not talking about mine...  :)  believe me....my soul is....happy....

but....sometimes....you will encounter a person....who's light is so dim....it's just.....hard.  I've been doing what I can for my Mom....but....her soul is so dim...

and when her soul started to dim.....her body went downhill....it's all linked....mind, body, soul....

helping someone's soul...now that is tricky........and I'm no expert on this kind of rescue mission....so I try to be gentle....and steady....and just try to....be....who I am....to breathe life into the room and into her surroundings....

sometimes....I feel like a canary in a coal mine....and sometimes....I need to come up for fresh air before I go back in.....


and I need to recharge.....my soul...and hang with the chili peppers....the red hot ones...not the hatch ones.


I got a bad disease,
up from my brain is where I bleed,
in sanity it seems...
is got me by my soul to squeeze...
well all the love from me..


where I go I just don't know....
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow,

when I find my piece of mind....
I'm gonna give you some of my good time...

today loves smile on me,
it took away my paint, said, please
all that you ride is free,
you gotta let it be..

oh yeah.....


so.....yeah.  the soul.....it's important to recognize what your soul needs....don't let the light dim. keep the fight alive...and burning....



peace...and love...and......giving your soul a squeeze.
