Whitie had a wonderful breakfast--baked oatmeal with peaches ,blueberries , blackberries,strawberries and brown sugar.The restaurant owner was very friendly. Friendly is important but you have to be balanced with another self who can take care of YOU. Is this not Life 101?????
Whitie felt very friendly ,too. She realized she had an emerging self .
Once you see the wisdom of things you wonder WHY you didn't see it . Whitie has not graduated from any school anywhere but she does have the simple inkling that you must love yourself.
It is in seed form .
White is really afraid when she declares progress. The big hand is coming down to slap her. "Who do you think YOUOO are ? What are YOUOO so good about?"
Whitie steps back a little and says,"This old thing."
Whitie is going on a trip in two weeks. She has not gone anyplace since the trips to her son's school for Parents Weekend.Whitie was bad then ,lost.
After Scott's death, Whitie did not care about her husband anymore. It was a freedom, all feelings gone.Caring is a bondage that we enter if we love someone . It's worth it if the someone cares for the real you a tiny bit.
Her husband could not see her but it worked out because she could not see herself. Whitie was an empty space through which the wind blew.
Thinking back,when WAS Whitie a person? When did she last FEEL in a real way ,when the feeling went from her gut to her head and stayed there, no guilt holding it in a drowning man's grip.
Whitie has good memories when she was THERE.Being THERE was so much more important than the event. Whitie has taken exotic trips but was never there so what did it matter? She may as well have opened an encyclopedia while sitting on her bed.
