How certain was it that I would tell a story at the Moth Story Slam? Although I slept little the night before the event, I had lots of adrenaline energy the day of the event. As I sat with my husband Paul and two friends towards the front of the Main Street Landing theatre and looked around at the sold out audience, my heart started pounding and I was sure that I forgot my story completely. With Paul's gentle coaxing I did put my name in the hat. My friends were praying for me that I would be one of the ten people picked and I would be picked towards the beginning so I could relax for the remaining time. Picturing myself onstage in front of hundreds with nothing more than a microphone simply caused me to question my sanity. I was picked second. Something kicked in and I remembered my story. According to Paul I was poised. There was a big laugh at the end, and the three judges gave me the scores: 79, 82, 87. Not bad for a beginner. I just ordered a Moth story telling card game. Maybe we can play it next time with a Kabbalah theme.
Last meeting Annette spoke about the certainty of rekindled emotion when looking at the words written by her children when they were little. Our children grow up, people leave us, pets leave us, beautiful luna moths only grace us with our presence for one week yet if we see a luna moth while walking in the woods with a loved one, the emotion we feel when looking at the photo and remembering is eternal.
As a group we spoke about the certainty of the highest good. The highest good is always with us no matter what we are doing. If we are making a mistake, saying the wrong thing, or stubbing our toe, the highest good is with us. I feel it when we are together as a group.
Would someone like to organize lunch with Alex?
Please let me know which date is better for you to attend our next Kabbalah meeting: Monday Dec. 5 or Monday Dec. 12.
