red moon

Well I froze my little toes off, but it was worth it to see the total lunar eclipse tonight. Very different seeing it here, alone in the backyard, than it was last year in San Francisco when G and I hiked over to Dolores park and watched it surrounded by crunchy folk of all strata.

G did brave the cold with me for the first part of totality wearing nothing but his robe and slippers. He must love me very much indeed. That, or he's loony.

In other news, Gram was moved over to an Alzheimer's unit in Braintree today. G and I went over to help her prepare for the trip from hospital to rehab. He's been pretty wonderful supporting me through this week. To top it off, he never really got to know his own grandparents and was only too happy to let Gram adopt him as one of her own 7 years ago. This whole experience can't be easy for him either.

Hmmm...did I mention somewhere else in this post how great he is? (Sorry, we seem to be experiencing some Valentine flashbacks this eve. This should subside shortly after which your regularly scheduled programming will resume.

dream of fields

I saw Bunny G earlier this week and had a lovely afternoon with her. Was very happy that I got to see her alone this time. Recently I'd come to realize that I haven't seen her alone in over a year. Since I have my doubts about how much cult is in her commune, it was nice to do the one-on-one thing with her. I suspect she found it odd that I'd be concerned over that, especially since I know how strong she is; but the readings I've gotten from some of her new family have been pretty odd. They open their arms to people, but only while that person wants to come closer to their inner circle. When a person walks away, they just turn their backs. In such a small, closed society, that could be devastating and I do worry that she'd feel trapped. She doesn't, and having seen her alone, I finally believe that.

As for me, since their philosophies are based on a heterosexual paradigm, there's really not much for me there. They've been exceedingly polite in their interactions with me, but I've gradually come to feel that they tolerate me only as Bun's pet. A curiosity better left outside. That's ok. I look on all this as Bun's latest adventure. It may be an adventure that lasts the rest of this lifetime, but I know that we still end up in the same field. Even if we climb up different tubes.
