Brainwaves & Food

I was pleasently awoken by the sounds of boBo's voice over the receiver early this morning. He had just gotten off of a 12-hour day. Something that he does not do very often, but a task that I can certainly emphasize with him over. He sounded tired but lovely as usual.

We spoke about books we are currently reading. I was surprised to hear that he is devouring Cunningham's A Home At The End Of The World and loves it while I am struggling through Saviano's Gomorrah partially because I am reading three other books at the same time.

I finished the cleanse and am slightly relieved to say the least. I will not type the words that I regret that I did it. It is not like that. I certainly took from it a higher consciousness of what I am digesting, taking into my body and how I can be more responsible and feel better. Going without food makes the senses more keen. But that being said, there is nothing like food for the soul as well as for the body. The toxins are still coming out though as my face has broken out with some sort of rash coincidentally as I did this cleanse. I am going to ride it out and ingest juices and fruits today as a means to continue the cleanse but with a bit more substance and nutrients.

B mentioned that he had to wake up early after his double in order to go to a brain scan appointment that he made with a person who is doing a study on the brain's relationship to love. boBo was to bring in seven images of people that he is familiar with but not close friends to as well as a picture of me. At random the photos were presented to him as a brain scan was made and the brain apparently reacted quite differently when he saw my picture as opposed to the acquaintances. I would like to think that. But I do not need a brain scan to prove that, although I want to see the video. (Babe, you should put it on YouTube!) All I need to do is hear his excited voice when I speak to him on the phone. That is enough for me.

Tak (left and above, between the two of us), our great friend and the one who presided over our ceremony in August, sent us this email today:

This Marriage

May these vows and this marriage be blessed.

May it be sweet milk,

this marriage, like wine and halvah.

May this marriage offer fruit and shade

like the date palm.

May this marriage be full of laughter,

our every day a day in paradise.

May this marriage be a sign of compassion,

a seal of happiness here and hereafter.

May this marriage have a fair face and a good name,

an omen as welcomes the moon in a clear blue sky.

I am out of words to describe

how spirit mingles in this marriage.

i did not want to crawl from the bed because usually when i have a bout with restless sleep, the minutes seem to not exist but micro-milliseconds replace them. that's when i hear every drop, tick, crack, breath of the overheating computer trying to download the last gig of the birds for my viewing pleasure.

when i finally built up enough determination to look at my phone, the time was half past five. not too bad. if i were still in san diego or even bologna, i'd be up anyway. still, i waited. when the eyes did not surrender to the droop and the thoughts continued to explode and compound like the way my school loan interest is continually doing as we sit here reading this lovely blog and picture extravaganza, i awoke and began to write the list of the day. the way some, maybe most, maybe not that many actually, start their morning. to get something accomplished. or to at least feel like something is being accomplished. whatever that means.

and i quote:
