What I'm Reading This Week -- September 12, 2010-
Quote de jour
"I've always imagined heaven as a kind of library."
This will be short and bittersweet today. I am in mourning, and posting this out of sheer habit. The blog will be wordless and without comments in the coming week. Your support is especially welcome at this sad time of transition. It's my mission at the Boomer Muse is to inspire and amuse, but life isn't always amusing. That said, I do believe even in the heart of darkness, the there light.
I hope you stop by this week for some inspiration of a different sort. Thank-you for the kind words on and off line.
A charming color coordinated trio of novels. Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman is my favorite thus far.
I don't get all the fuss and kudos for The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender. I loved the premise: young girl discovers a talent for reading the emotions of the person who cooked whatever food she eats. I wanted to like it, but it didn't deliver.
Things improve with the light, masterful touch of Carl Hiassen and Star Island.

oh no! is it Coco? that you are in mourning for? the sadness of lemon cake sounds like a truly delice book, as I say sitting here eating Montreal sesame bagels with butter, crusted from the oven.

I am surmising, from your words, that Coco has passed, or will cross very shortly.
Please know that I am sending universal healing Light for all concerned, and hoping Coco's transition is/was a peaceful, gentle one.
I know that death is a part of the natural order of all things, but it's not easy to accept. Perhaps because whether or not there is any kind of existence beyond this experience is not known; we have only our own beliefs to comfort us. Or perhaps none at all, which leaves us without any comfort. Perhaps we're reincarnated, perhaps our molecules become "star dust."
One thing I *have* to believe, however: If there is anything beyond this physical plane, it is the same for All Beings. Not merely for the human species, which I regard to be the worst on this planet. But for All. Because even though I don't believe in personal deities, I do believe in the Oneness of all life.
In that way, you never will be separated from Coco, no matter what Absolute Reality might be--if there even is such a thing.
Blessings and Peace.
-Kim

There's not much to add to what Kim already expressed so beautifully.
You're in my thoughts during this heart-rendingly difficult time.
