Space-time continuum of the soul
29 May 2011 Comments Off
I lead a double life. In one, I’m the focused career woman, passionate about my job, working long hours with the tenacity of a robot. In my other life, I’m married, I love animals, shopping and knitting, and I take painting classes. Except for the desire to buy shoes, the two sides never really affected each other, until last weekend when my beloved dog died.
I suddenly feel as though the space-time continuum of my soul has been torn open, and my 2 realities are overlapping, blurring the delineation and dissolving all clarity. The sudden death of Chai has made an unforeseeable impact on everything I do. Every movement seems slower, heavier, every thought careful and difficult. I know I have to overcome the emotional burden and turn it into something I can use. Sometime soon, sadness will fade, and the memory of Chai will fuel a new passion, a celebration of life.
