As some of you no doubt know, I am now "in between" jobs.
Fortune smiles on me, and I am as happy for my physical labors of late as I am for some upcoming work that is at once off the books and continued sweat-labor. Even more, I met someone yesterday who, like me and in fact even moreso, is in relatively dire straits and is a help your fellow man, evironmentally minded never-owned-a-car guy who was recycling computer parts at the twice-yearly even hosted by one of our few local, truly green-oriented retailers.
Tomorrow I bid on some residential painting I found on the general labor jobs listing on craigslist.org and also have a truly massive amount of work I can do for an oddly-much-loved -ex who has needed some of this shit done since I left him a decade ago.
While there may not be health insurance and a 401k in my immediate future, it appears there is a real opportunity for me to feed and house myself and a new, deserving acquaintance in a more tenuous position than myself. That is indescribably EXACTLY- what I need for my self and my little known soul right now.
Meanwhile, I would just like to offer a word of thanks to you all, some who I do not really know and some who, almost at least, I do know. This little effort seems threateningly like it may take wing, and I cannot think of any better work I have Ever performed than creating that possibility for and with some of the brightest and most caring folks I have ever come across. It is positively humbling to imagine that you, my teachers, may actually take this tiny ball and run with it for the betterment of not only me but for us all. My eyes water at the mere thought. Thanks. Thanks for being there in whatever tiny way. Thanks for the fights, the much-deserved slap downs, for the the future.
I am happier now than I have been in months. What a delicious irony that is not, on reflection, much of an irony at all.
R, just some guy who cannot wait to Let Go of the domains and the piss-poor job of admin I have been doing. Much Love, For me. For You. For those we Will Reach in this most important time of greatest human need. Praise and celebrate the nexus that is US. If ever there was magic, WE ARE IT.
