Life’s Doorbell

 We have been in from 

Spring to Autumn


From Cool Warm Hot Humid to Cool Nights


From Unsure scepticism shared pessimism to green shoots of optimism to despair


From self dependent to independent to deeply dependent 


From financial and professional uncertainty to stable comatose to attempts to stay afloat to glide and gasp


Emotionally dependent to distraught to fearfully apart to semblance of satisfaction to apart


From seeing 120 films in 180 days to teaching A Film Marketing course


Cooking over 500 meals to procure prepare present


Through Birthdays and Anniversaries through Celebrations to Sadness..


From Prayers Meditations to Healing to Superlative Superstition 


From tracking numbers to being scared of being a number 


From Communications to long silences 


From thanksgivings to admonished from pedestal to pavement to podium 


From Fun smiles to loosing temper to ones In close proximity 


From make do hair cuts and hair colors and walking miles within the house


From peaceful to worried nights


From repetitive news to reading depleted newsprint 


From adjusting investment portfolio to selling and contemplation a newer car a few dreamy days


From paying bills and begging people for help and helping people we can 


From online purchases to online entertainment to online meetings to online classes to a seldom online drink with a friend 


A few sorrows fewer joys a induced living with dreams of living in the mountains by a brook side cottage...


Suddenly the Bell rings ...

Life’s doorbell has to be answered
