Fan Girl - this was exactly what Stevey said I was, when I was savoring the last dance and all it had to offer. And today Ernest gave me this beautiful shirt. So happy. It's a sweat shirt. A boy's M-size, and it is comfy and cushy. I can imagine wearing it on a plane, though strangely, the concept of a plane ride does seem a tad foreign and remote, for now.
And Robert promised that one day, I'll get to shake MJ's hand. Haha. I will see if that comes to pass.
And his airness aside, this week was one filled with some good conversations. Mainly about writings, about passions and some readings.
On Tuesday, it was just incredible.
A friend had given me a book for my bday and I had put the book into my book stack on the work table. It had a pretty blue book cover, and I've not really taken a good look at it, until Tuesday. There was a magnetic guidance to pull out that book (and I had no idea why) in the middle of a skype meeting, and when I took it out, the words stared at me outright - the things you can see only when you slow down. Gasped. It was the same word I saw over the last weekend.
Steve asked me if I was bored at the meeting. The answer is no - I was quite fully concentrated. Yet, for some strange reason, I pulled the book out. I knew God was good to me. The content was beautifully written, and the illustrations were clear and soothing. It's written by a Zen Buddhist Korean writer and teacher, who sought to help others walk their lives' journey.
Again, a mini-me exploring the mega-world, and a journey to understand myself better.
And then I read some stuff about the negative somatic marker, about the amygdala matter, and how we tend to veer towards some levels of fear and anxiety especially during uncertain times (like in this pandemic). The author Martin Lindstrom wrote in his latest pocket book that 3 things are likely to happen out of this pandemic - that we will get fat, divorce rates would increase, and... we will question more the value, meaning and purpose of life. So, it's aligned to my latest thoughts and musings. I am glad I am also a normal being like the billions here who might be asking the same question too. However, for me, I don't think this is only a thought during the pandemic. It's probably a question that remains one of life's greatest questions and pursuits - to understand the value, meaning and purpose of life. Nonetheless, the "Buyology for a coronavirus world" book was a good, easy read.
And, again, the Saturday has gone by, quietly and quickly. The constant really is that my Saturday would come and go, super sonic speed.
Last night, I was looking forward to a good run this morning, and the run too, came and went.
Today, I am thankful for the Jordan sweatshirt, and thankful for the good lunch together. :)
