Childhood-Story:
One night, .unnoticed, .X and I .discover her mother 'compromised'.How could she ? In a car ? .A mother, with husband and kids.

Anxiety-anger-confusion ... we track her for days.
We tell X's father.
He seems to act.
We tire of it all .real fast !
Turns out .X's father is a 'womanizer'.
We love them both.
It's not easy to be a teenager .or 'adult'.

The SUV pulls into the bottom of my big-window-view on the Pacific
Obliterating a 1/16" x 3/8" piece of my 'transcending'
I'm annoyed and anxious for some minutes
Soon enough - this truck is my just-fine-anchor

I hear:
Even in the short term you have to make value judgements ...
I hear:

There's change to be done everywhere ...
I hear:

I hear:
Everything I do is wrong... Everything I do is wrong....Everything ... right ?!

Childhood-Story:
From age 3 - at bedtime - I tell Monet stories from my childhood.
I ask her what age she wants me to be in the story - then I remember.
"5". .1943, .OK. .
Mom has the measles. She has red spots all over her body.
The Doctor comes; she must stay in the dark, be taken care of, and
she will be fine.
I bring Edie grapefruit for 3 days.

I hear:
