And time to make time to reflect. It occurs to me as I move house and start yet one more new chapter in my life, that there are many things in my world that run at different speeds. There are things that I hold very close that I wish to run at ‘warp speed’… and there are few things that I wish would slow ‘the fuck’ down.
An example of what I would like to see slowing… My boy. He’s nearly 17 and he’s itching at the post to get out of the house. I mean it, there are teeth marks on the door way where he has tried to chew his way free. I can understand his need for freedom, but dammit, who will take out the trash when he’s gone? I know, I know.. it’s the little things.
No, seriously, he’s always been my baby, and now I am starting to see him struggle to be a man – and I wish this whole process would slow down.
Thank god Chot is in charge…Or I don’t know where we would be. She seems to be speeding up too, but at a nice slow pace thus far, so it’s dealable at the current time. She keeps Seth and I in line and reminds us to eat regularly.
A thing I would like to see sped up… well, I am not at liberty to go in to ‘detailus extremus’ (yall didn’t know I knew some fake ass latin did ya…) but let’s suffice it to say that Luis knows what I mean, and that’s enough for now.
Another speed demon act that would be nice… is if the ‘house unpacking fairy’ would just whiz in here and make this shit all sorted, quickly. That would be grand. While she’s at it and up, she can get me a cup coffee (sensuous .. since you was up..).
Faster meals, slower beers… longer showers, shorter distance. Longer time, slower time, faster smiles, slower goodbyes. Longer passion… longer kisses… quicker dishes, lazy sunshine.
I’m sure my neighbours will enjoy the fact that an absolute foookin nutter has moved in…
Hooty hooty hooty (had to be done, cousin dear… had to be done)
Lovin y’all from the soap-box

What marvelous works of knowledge you have passed on to us today. If only we could just grab a hold to the reigns of life a little tighter , maybe we could have a little more control. Unfortunately , that is not the case. Our children are growing up so quickly and all we can do is hope that we have taught them well and that they will take some of our knowledge with them as they attempt to make their way through life.
