September 01 New Moon

Yesterday I attended a funeral in my family. This was a slightly unexpected event on my itinerary but I'm grateful it gave me the chance to see family. The funeral has allowed me to be present and remind me of patience again. I think I'll finally get in the swing of things for the tour tomorrow. Yet, I have a bit of anxiety about being out without an ID and no clue when I can get another one. I'll call the DMV today to let that anxiety subside (Wait, it's Sunday-I'll call Tuesday). I am in dire need of some centering and remembering who the heck I am and how I be. Hopefully capoeira will be able to do that for me. I have been inside much too long and am also in need of sunlight. Slowly but surely I'll get back to Malikia. Right now going to Des Moines and seeing my mama soon are the only things driving me. This writing isn't helping like I thought it would. Time to try a new tactic (stretching).
