This is sort of an update in a nutshell. My spiritual quest took a turn on the spiral of truth, or should I say the Wheel of the Year, and I am now neo-pagan, Eclectic Wicca. I got involved in a Facebook group for beginners in Paganism and Wicca, took an interesting course on Wicca (Wicca: A Year And A Day), which I wasn't able to complete for various reasons. I learned a lot, and enjoyed it. I'm still learning and practicing on my own.
Last year, Spring Equinox, Aaron left this world behind, gave up the fight with ALS, and, true to his Gemini curiosity, intellect, and scientific mind, chose cryonics, and had his body put on ice, hoping to be unfrozen in a future when the medical research finds a cure for that horrible disease that crippled his body, stole his breath silenced his voice, but left his mind intact. Diana and I had planned to go to see him his last weeks on earth, but a freak blizzard canceled our flights.
I moved last fall, in September to a bigger, nicer apartment, by a lake with fountains. And I live upstairs now. I got the last of my inheritance, so was able to buy brand new furniture for the living room, for the first time in decades, even have a beautiful geometric swirl designed area rug. Life is good!
My LDR with my Twin is still going strong, now into our 6th year, still in love, crazy about each other, and Best Friends Forever. I never imagined anything like this.
And, in addition to my spiritual views changing, so have my political views. For the first time in my life, I am involved in a campaign to get a Democratic Socialist into the White House. I think I'm a throwback to the 60s, more Liberal than ever. And it feels good!
