CornerOfIncense

I am not deeply ritualistic. But I often pray, as in conversation-style pray, and I found myself talking about certain people, or saying things to 'God', and some of those people were people here in the blogosphere. 

I mostly light two incense sticks every morning at a fixed place in my house, and thanks to a brainwave this year, I started dedicating the second stick to whatever/whoever it was in my mind. And I found it made me happy or peaceful.

I intend to document it here. None of the people mentioned here asked for it. I am sure they do not even know it. 

January - June 2013

1. Baby J - His arrival set off the brainwave in me. He happens to be the miracle child of an ex-blogger who has come to his parents after terrible heartache. He made me so happy that I lit an incense stick that day for him (when I came to know he had arrived safely). 

2. Axel -  I read about him and what happened through Josey. In the post his mum has written, there is a picture of him on a Mexican beach. That pic was on my mind even after I pressed [x] on the tab. He stayed in my mind. Next morning, I dedicated an incense in his name. 

3. Vic - Kristin's husband underwent gastric bypass recently. It was meant to end his medical issues, and well Kristin, the un-caped hero that she is, was very brave in dealing with all the physical, mental and emotional facets that the surgery brought. I prayed for him to get out of the surgery safely, and that the surgery would bring on all the positives that were intended from it.

July - December 2013

 4. Mo - Dedication for the safe arrival of her precious baby girl.

July - December 2015

 5. Pundelina - Dedication for her full recovery from Breast Cancer. I am glad it was caught 'early'. I am not happy about the pain that goes into dealing with the beast.

July - December 2016
7. Stacie's Mother - Dedication for her full recovery from the Hodgkins Lymphoma

 8. Baby J's Sister - An ex-blogger is pregnant with a miracle sibling for Baby J (see, January-June 2013 for reference), and the baby girl is expected to be born next year. May she be born healthy, and on time. 
January - June 2017


9. Jointly lit for Stacie's mother who recently passed away and for the safe arrival of rainbow baby of an ex-blogger and friend.

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City. I should have known. ...I grieved at how many pricks and tubes were affixed to my little baby while she lay cold and unfeeling at the bottom of an earth pit fatigued from all the effort she put into staying alive.

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
