May 22, Thursday – Six
The home visit in La Conner was done in a dream state. I’m now sitting in Snee-Oosh in the evening heat in northeast Florida with Mr. Mockingbird welcoming me back to the Circle Tour wondering if I ever left this state.
While in La Conner I spun my Buddhist prayer wheel every time I went to Shelter Bay being thankful for my safety and my journeys. I spun Geraldine’s prayer wheel at Joan’s with the same gratefulness. On my last evening I walked down to the Spirit Wheel by Maple Hall and spun it also with prayers. I love spinning the giant wheel and letting my fingers trail over the smooth and carved wooden surfaces. My presence goes into another dimension; a difference place.
My mind must have been in a different place several other times during my stay such as showing up 24 hours early for my dental exam. The examining dentist found a missing filling that my regular dentist had missed several days earlier while he cleaned my teeth. Rushed calls to him and I was scheduled in during his lunch hour for a new filling. Another example: Hannah was going to Tacoma today with the van to move her college stuff back home. I hitched a ride with her. Dutifully I arrived at the airport at six a.m., two hours before my flight. The electronic check-in told me to see an agent. I got to the airport at six, but my flight left at six and not at eight like my flight from Florida to Seattle had. The agent said he would send me out on a flight in 45 minutes to Cincinnati then down to Jacksonville getting me in there at 5 p.m.; He also said I got the last seat on the flight and that I would have had to wait until noon before another slot opened up. Mind awareness; be attentive to details; spinning prayer and spirit wheels smoothed the path of good luck
