I did a search on my blog site using the word "cough".
It came up 133 times.
Unfortunately it is still with me.
For better or for worse. Perhaps I should marry my cough. Make it official.
Snort.
I don't have time to go into much detail about anything right now. Library is closing soon. I need to get to bed early tonight.
I do have a new inhaler. And some tricks up my sleeve. Perhaps I will share them with you tomorrow.
But what I am really excited about is Shakespeare!
I attempted to read several plays and sonnets of his when I was a mere lass of maybe 12. I didn't really understand what I was reading, but I loved how the words sounded. And that my friends is key to understanding poetry. I am a fast reader. I read for meaning. But in poetry, you need to be present in the moment. And let go of any need for meaning.
I am reading an incredible book right now called Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard by Laura Bates. This is a memoir. A true story about a Shakespeare professor who gets permission to teach Shakespeare to some inmates in "supermax" solitary confinement. It is an amazing book, not only for the look inside the life of these inmates, but it has also rekindled my love for the Bard.
On that note I must say,
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
(Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare)
Happy Wednesday!
Love,
Zita
p.s. I managed to get a brief Qi Gong/Hooping session in before my lungs gave out. Here's the video. Day 65:
