A Good Day To Be Alive, Thanks Tia!

Relations,

There's a beautiful bright Sun shining down on this part of Earth Mother today. Here now, where the channel runs behind the lodge - not a cloud in the sky to cover the majestic sheet of blue that covers the sky hemisphere to hemisphere...

...I tell myself that it is a good day to die, yes, but it sure has been an awesome day to be alive. I'll relish in this day that was blessed to be the day I would spend time with my Aunt  Candi, break bread at an old Tampa Cuban restaurant and spend some wonderful quality time with my 94 year old Grandmother. Being in her company and having conversation was an infusion of energy that was from a different era yet applied and was good medicine for today. An energy that transcends time. A bi-gone era has relevance on My Path today. This connection was there between my Tia (Aunt) and I too. She being but a few years older than I had created a Big Sister thing years ago and I think every once in a bit, I still feel that connection from our youth. A bi-gone era, our youth.

My Aunt (Tia), brought over with her two photo albums my sister Margarita, aka "Rosie, Don't You Do That To The Boy's", had put together with so many photographs of Kinfolk from my Mom's branches and her youth. My Grandpa Roy, and his youth and his branches. My Great Grand Mothers. My Great Great Grandmother's and their branches. The photos of branches established on my Dad's side of this giant tree. Photographs of our parents seven as children. Seeing these photo's Margarita, has been an extraordinary way of sharing your love for all of our Kinfolk. And for me. It is an honor to have received these gifts of our many Kinfolks history. My eye orbs drip fresh water.

I think of our branches, mine and the Wife. Those branches that have not yet been established - the Kinfolk, I've yet to meet. Will I meet? Depends on what the Great Spirit has in store for My Path and I. For the time being, I'll occupy my time with living today.

Tia Candi, thank you for an awesome day out and about! I had a super time! Mucho love!
