I Was Snow White, but....I Drifted...

The title of my blog on this December day is from, the anointed, Mae West. However I think I heard it repeated on a you tube talk by Charlie Mackesy.

This past week, I have listened and read everything I can locate about this man.

One of my dear friends, sent me his book, for the winter season of Covid. I hope you all have a copy, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse. He, Mr. Charlie, is...….magic? Gifted, flawed, darling, wise, a character in a Dickens movie, a writer, an artist, kind, crass, a delight, he invites you in.

He was interviewed on The Sunday Morning program, last week, I think, or a couple of weeks ago, not a big deal when!! I fell in love with every hair on his head, every word that came out of his mouth, and his heart. In a matter of seconds, I needed to know more. Then during the week, one of buddies, said " Oh Bonnie needs to read this book!" and in my mail it was. I had ordered two for gifts, so maybe you will be on the receiving end also. Every human needs Charlie Mackesy. Go to You Tube, he has several little talks about himself and his lack of religion, only to find Jesus, latter in his life. He tells a tall tale about many things, his description of the Nativity, in real words, life changing. Did you know we were all invited to the nativity!!?? Well, we were, with the lowly shepherds, invited to his birth. We are so loved, who doesn't love to be loved?? We received the invitation to the birth of the baby, animal smells and all. Mary knew, she knew, we all wanted to be there.

Charlie, the boy, mole, fox, and horse, we are invited to sit with them. Hear their words, and pass it on.

I oscillate between depression and joy, on a daily basis. It is a tight rope, that I know others may be on, also.

My grandchildren, give me the most unbridled joy, in the simple act of being themselves.

I had a silly photo of Finn this week, wearing my Florida face gear I sent him, because his Uma, that's me, wants her babies to go to SEC schools!! Adrian called for Grandpa to help him with hard Science, knowing his Uma, will only do Literature, Art history, History, and Music!!!! I reminded this child, that he has the most beautiful hair and eyes, I have ever seen. Love my Boson Babies, and then there is Wyatt, love everything he does!! Good, Bad, wild, calm, I want to bottle up his energy, and remind him that he is perfect. I love all my children, but these grandchildren are straight up, wonderful!! Do they misbehave, heck yes, who doesn't, but they too were invited to the nativity!! They are loved, and pinched and patted, and rubbed, kissed and fill me with Joy.

Mr. Charlie, needs to write a book about them, or maybe just read my words.

Take a moment to watch things around you, pay attention, to good and bad. Be Rad!! ( thank you Maria)

Dance and sing to your hearts content, and fall out, if you need too.

Love wins, yesterday, tomorrow, and right this minute.

PSSSSSS....Do not read Lenny Kravitz book, not all who sing and look gorg, can write. God Bless him.

love,
