The Mellow Place!

Soothing images to sooth (my) jangled nerves. Your's too, if you like! :



The sun rises over the Dnieper river bank in Rechitsa town, Belarus.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Big deep breath .... in & exhale....

Breath in & slowly exhale .......

This is very nice ......

But a massage would be even better.

Ommmmmmmmmmmm




(What a bastard of a day this was! )

my idea of a mellow place, scenes from the manitoulin island

Oh yes!

Beautiful, djjd.

Ommmmmmmmmmm.

Slowly, slowly getting there ....

OK, therapy session over. (For me, anyway. Feel free to use this spot any ol time you need to. )

This was good.

I think I can sleep now.

Night night.

sleep well

Thank you! (just cleaning my teeth now before I head off.)

The cat is waiting!

There's a reason for this new post, Francis?

I hope all is good with you.

When faced with mortality how do you deal? For right now, I will hide for a little while and hope it doesn't find me.

Aw, I've given up fighting it myself, Seed.
I'm definitely gonna die. No doubt about it.


Something in particular worrying you, possum?

Not my own mortality, my father's. It's something I see coming soon, but it's not something i am soon to accept

The possible death of a parent even when distance is there as an incidental/accidental buffer is still a very difficult obstacle to accept. Is your father not doing so well health wise?

This is the mellow place, not the place to hash my worries and fears.

I know, it's very difficult stuff to come to grips with, Seed. I know I sounded quite accepting of the notion of death in my previous post. Let's just say I'm a lot more accepting of it than I used to be.

I had a lot of difficulty coping with the idea that my father would die soon. When it was very clear that time was running out for him. Then accepting his actual death when it happened. I know it sounds trite, but the fact that a person who'd always been in my life no longer actually existed was ... well, quite incomprehensible for quite some time.
