I love reading your past.
You’re right I guess it is important to point out recism where it lies as to dispell the myth that there is no longer any of it here.

i alwyas wanted to break an arm or a leg or something, but never have. when i was 4 i had an operation on both my legs and was in a wheel chair for 2 months. not as classy as crutches… your nights out always sound sooooo exciting!!!

I broke my middle toe about 5 years ago. It still hurts me once and a while.

Your “Shescapes” story reminds me of an experience I had years ago. I’m going to write about it, probably this week. Darn, you can be inspirational.

Well, when I started reading, I was thinking “what a long post.” When I finished, I was only thinking “I wish there was more to read.”

Wonderful, Pia.

most people here in santa fe practice buddhism in the same way. as a means for comfort rather than devoutness. i think it serves its purpose.
happy to read your post today!

pia, great post, as always! i’ve broken my baby toe twice & there’s nothing they can do about it. Cheeta has broken 2 of my other toes twice by stepping on them. Tarzan broke his big toe once. so far between the 2 of us, 1 broken foot! ha

As always this is so much to take in and I agree with Scot, that was my favorite line also. I think because it has been so descriptive of me at times. I can just relate to the statement so very much. I am glad that someone found their way to your blog through mine. That makes me very proud that someone would find such a gem through me. Scott is a wonderful writer also, but he is like sipping a cold glass of tea on a a warm summer day as you sit on the porch….You on the other hand are like trying to get to the center of a tootsie pop. You enjoy the whole experience and it is all good, but at the same time, you so want to get to the center. You can’t wait to discover it. Sounds silly, but I knew you would remember the commercial. I was actually thinking about peeling an onion, but the thought of the onion isn’t so sweet. It does at times make you cry though….so in a sense it would have been better. Ah well. I just hope you won’t forget your blog-as I am still waiting to get to the center.

Pia:
For “being all over the place,” as you say, you thread this writing rather nicely. Descriptive, yet introspective, I find myself right with you as the events unfold. So much to comment on here. I particularly liked the irony expressed here: “I was overly independent and dependent at the same time. People thought I was deep; I was confused.” Talk about feeling ambivalent. . . This is my first time I’ve stopped in for a visit. From what I see, I know I’ll be back. Great content, presentation, and background. . .
Thank you for coming by my site for a visit. You make a rather astute observation when you say, “nuances shine through blogs.” JC’s blog certainly reflects that, and so does yours.
