Today has been and up and down day. Just when we sent the boxes off to be shipped back home, I got an email saying my flight was cancelled. I had a minor meltdown. Then called American, I am on the same flight to Philadelphia (the "red eye") Friday night, but will have to be in Philadelphia airport for 3 hrs. awaiting my next flight. I get into Bangor shortly after noon on Saturday. Not the end of the world but the change did illuminate how short my rope is right now.
I hope no more changes. I can feel the anxiety and I am just breathing through each little wave as it rises up. I am imagining myself in beautiful bubble, safe secure, waltzing through TSA, and then wrapped in a warm and comfortable cocoon for the final flight to Bangor in the little plane.
Most of the packing is done. I am checking in with people, they are checking in with me. The birds are still singing.
These 26 days seem like a very long time, twilight zone. My heart breaks for the suffering and pain and loss. My heart opens with the creativity, the hope, the acts of compassion that are springing forth. The birthing of ourselves and our country into a "new normal" will have much pain. May be do the right things to help bring us to this new place as safe and as connected as possible.
It is Thursday, tomorrow I head for home. The trees, the water, the mountains await - they provide solace in the midst of a pandemic.
