Doing better, getting ready to go on my walk through the woods.
Found out that my Sensei Gayle Fillman died a few days ago, feeling bewildered because, like always, that was the day I was thinking of her out of the blue and making plans with my mom to give her one of my grandma's painting's for Solstice. I took Aikido and Aiki-Iaido for 6 years, I helped her teach classes, so I was there 5 days a week sometimes. She had the aura of a happy little Buddha statue: a very positive person. She helped me through my parent's divorce, saved my dog from a horrific death, among many other things. She was a great friend. This sucks because I was going to surprise her and show up during Masogi on New Years day and walk into the frigid lake chanting and chiming bells. I was planning on talking to her then about taking sword arts again. Damn it.
2010 is taking lots of lives, fuck
