New Age

It is Saturday a.m., October 13...President Dwight Eisenhower's birthday, if I recall correctly.

Sitting at my table in the cloister, my daugther playing/drawing in her notebook on the coffee table nearby, and the Velvet Underground's "New Age" from the Live 1969 album playing.

It is indeed a new age...full of wonder and new marvels, naked revelations, transformation, new friends, new lovers, new cities....redefined relationships with old lovers and old friends.

And a major emotional/psychological challenge...which my soul mate has told me I must fight...so, fight I will.

"Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what....it's the beginning of a new age."
