spiritual fitness
That's a term someone I know used last night. I'd never heard it, and wondered how I couldn't have. It's wonderful, and it's apt. It's what I've been working on all year - prayer. For some reason I still had this childhood belief that you only had to ask once, and then if you didn't get what you asked for, it was proof that it didn't work. Then, the lightbulb: just like what I teach for a living -fitness - you have to keep working on it. You have to keep practicing. I started praying everyday. Prayed for five things. Slowly, one by one, they came to fruition. Miracle. And the fact that it worked restored my faith in Divine Spirit.
Now I'm at a different lesson with it. Make sure you're really ready for and wanting what you ask for. Sounds pretty elementary and obvious, right? Well that's the stuff you have to watch out for.
Slept like a big pile of doody caca again last night. I hope I don't drop dead. But I did get to talk to Kate before I went to bed, which was freakin awesome. I told her the Dave Chappelle episodes she sent home with me have been of wonderful use and laughs. She got my package containing a copy of a CD I made for her - our secret shared musical love that dare not speak its name. I am sendin her spirit fingahs because she's had double pneumonia and was on death's door, oy vey, poor woman.
We've got a fawkin jesus freak on wnbatalk now. The fucker told me yesterday that he/she would have to talk to me off the board to try and convert me to christianity. Obviously doesn't know me, huh? You gotta love those crazy christians, assuming you're in need of saving because you couldn't possibly be happy with your own spirituality now, could ya? Fuckhead asshole. I'd like to sik my dad on him/her. This is a man who's a recovered catholic, and you know how bitter and hateful they are. My dad makes up cusswords, for chrissakes. Plus, he's got a Master's degree and is one of the smartest people on the planet. I'm sure the convo would go something like this....
Dad: "Religions are a man-made construct designed to perpetuate the illusion of order in an orderless world, you pigfucking pile of rancid dogshit!"
Yo, Nikki's coming in FIVE days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*cue dancin bananas*
My baby girl is doing well at school, which eases my heart. :-)
Quote of the day:
You need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality.
