It's Not Like In The Movies

Y'all forgive me if I am quiet or maybe be grateful.
I am just tired.
All is good but I am tired.
Demon fighting is not like it is in the movies. There is no holy water, there are no wooden stakes and you can eat all the garlic you want and it ain't going to help one bit.
Don't even talk to me about thrusting crucifixes into the red glare of demons' eyes.
There may be no gnashing of teeth, no hands-up-to-the-mouth screams.
There may just be silent sauteing of onions in a pan, steaming of broccoli, cooking of brown rice.
There may be nothing but taking-in and trying-to-figure out.

There will be words again, you know that.

Love and truly...Ms. Moon

    Blimey. My sentiments precisely. I feel the same about everything you just said, and am looking forward to broccoli and steamed rice this evening.
    Hang in there. Some people say it gets better. :-) We shall see, shan't we?

    Life can be hard work at times, Ms Moon. Just hanging in there and trying as you say to work it through has to be enough.

    Bless the broccoli, rally the rice, honor the onions and the silence.

    Brown rice is steadying. Perfect balance of yin and yang, some claim.
    It's a main ingredient of my favorite comfort dinners.

    Yes to this: "There may just be silent sauteing of onions in a pan, steaming of broccoli, cooking of brown rice.
    There may be nothing but taking-in and trying-to-figure out."

    Love you.

    We will still be here when you pop in for some more words. Not going anywhere... Take your time. Fight your dragons and hang on to your dragonslayer...

    I had a dream last night, and you were in it. I was reading your blog, and you were talking about how great my city is. Turns out you were in town and so we planned a meet up. Then I woke.

    Anyway, know that even if you're having a dark day, you're on the minds of people.
