Summer living.......
Three days of rain and miles later. The black clouds passing by the car window, we are going somewhere. We are always going somewhere, and life is when we sit, the four of us in the familyroom of the house we live in and watch TV. content and quiet, these are the days of my life. all the goings so we can have those quiet moments, and then we are all going somewhere. Summer is here, the days are longer, the gift of day light and the sun, Summer has so much to be greatfull about. The gatherings, the sounds of laughter, listening to our kids playing outside. Is it anything more delicious than watching your kids grow? I don't think so.
Watching all of us growing older, as the grays become more prominant in our hair. All the familiar things, the everydayness of this living, all and all is so reassuring and pleasant. Specially to a gypsy like me that has never thought he belonged. This August will be the twentieth anniversary of our marriage. It went by so fast and it has had so many wonders and promises . I can't believe my beautifull wife is going to be Thirty Eight years old this year. The girl I married has become such a lady, not showing her age, dressing in her funky clothes and looking as youthful and fit as she is, she could pass for a teenager any day of the year. She has become the cornerstone of my family and hers. The way every one relies on her, seeks her advice, and copy what she wears. I always say that meeting her and getting her to marry me has been the best and luckiest part of my life. And her family the way they have accepted me as pne of their own, the way they love me and my kids, they have become a closer part of my life than my own family.
"where did you go, I miss you so...." is a new song that has resonated with me, singing it under my breath, playing it in my head. and the other day I wrote a poem inspired by it. " where are you going..." which I will post here soon.
I am still not happy with myself, my lack of ambitions, and lazy as I am. But I never knew what I wanted to do with my life, I guess I just wanted to live it. And being my wife's husband and my kids' father fills up so much of me, that there is not much else I need out there. Everything loses its gloss, and become ordinary, everything but Love, and loving. Life is good.
