so…Better,  for sure.  Have turned the corner.  But still.  

That Altered State of Sick.   Which i would ordinarily ignore,  but for some reason,  am kind of interested in.  I so rarely Get sick…..

and mid morning i as usual looked over to my left from the Morning Chair and there,  where its been on the shelf for a very long time

Two Old Women    An Alaska Legend of Betrayal, Courage and Survival by Velma Wallis

It's a short book that Marti loaned me a long time ago.  And suddenly,  today,  i read it.  Just a couple hours.  A very Plain Story,  told in a very Plain way,  but so truthfully that the "movie" it created while reading was immediate.   A story passed down generations of a time before the arrival of Western culture.

and when finished,  the huge thought was…..How strange we have become….human beings today.  Just how so Strange.
