Pensive me
While we bitch about gas and the soaring prices, it took almost $45 to fill up my little car. In 2001, when I first got it, it wasn't even $20. Cousin Jen and I wanted to meet over the weekend but decided not to... Because of gas prices. It's really interrupting from people coming together. Ain't stoppin' me from goin' to my mama's house for lil while (about a month).. Jax and I leaving to SC in couple of days..
My head is spinning.. Final exam this morning, things to do, dirty house, packing,.. and still not done wrapping up for the semester.
To Un-spin my head..
So yesterday was Mother's Day and I had to study, I missed Jax so I put my head to business. Like always, from what I learned in school, it give parrels to my everyday life and what's around me. For my woman and global course, I studied on India Gender Violence. And when I saw something on cnn website,there was an article on Good Moms/Bad Moms that the media displayed. You know how that is, it's giving Moms in the real world some kind of pressures... to be good/bad mom.
Alike with India dowry issues, the husband family wanting more prices from the bride family. Over time they are becoming overboard, burning their wives for a scooter (a disturbing case I've learned). I didn't mean to see this way today about Mother's Day, while not having Jax with me so I'd study for final, it felt weird not having him with me today. So I opened and un-horizon my perception about this, Mom's with high expectations to get pampered and spoiled is the same perception about Christmas coming from the kids, they want ipod and shit. Don't worry, Jax gave me something sweet from preschool and Lucas got me yellow roses (to apologize after the tough day I had) and miniature roses from neighbors (to apologize for barging in my house to turn off the fire alarm I didn't mind) all during the same week, heheh
The point is that, we can see the INCREASING expectations over time. In the past, the history showed that we never asked for too much back in the day. We were happy with simple and thoughtful things (without needing money). Or maybe it's just me from my background.

A Medium, her way of life among the dead
About a month ago, Mikey shared his experience when he went to the show and saw a medium. I was interested about his journey when I listened him out. Soon after, he decided to tag me along to his next show to see another medium. It's Lisa Williams, if you see her on lifetime channel. And yea, she talk with the dead people.
So last night we went and during the show, I was surprised on how she dealt with the dead people. Many of the spirits were tugging to get through her so that she could talk with their loved ones. I thought she dealt with them pretty good, for a person like herself with the special talent. She had them one at a time, able to find out which person from the audition of around 300 crowd. It was about 3 hours long, plus 15 minutes break, and I believe she got to talk about 7 or 8 group of people. She made a connection being the living and the dead, tried to help them to close the unfinished businesses. Most of time, the dead ones wanted to APOLOGIZE to the living ones, asking them to forgive them. Some asked them to let them go. And some just dropped by to say hello lo lo. I saw lots of love in the room though. At some point, it became emotional and I shred my tears with them.
After the show, Mikey and his friend Sheryl, also an interpreter Rachel (who offered to babysit Jax someday which was nice to hear), we were chillin in the lounge exchanging spiritual experiences and waited for two hours to get to meet Lisa. I drove Mikey and Rachel home which was 20 minute south from me and I got home after 2am. What a ride..
I cannot really type any further about my thoughts of this journey. Right now I'm having some serious exhaustion. I tend to feel very tired if I got to get to the higher level spiritually, and then, back to the earth, I pretty much crash deep. I'll get back to this...
