My life. Shakespeare could have had such a heyday. Comedy, drama, tragedy. I have had those right place moments, those wrong time moments. Sometimes those places and times are all muddled together, and honestly, life really doesn’t work so precisely in my opinion. More to be revealed in future posts. I just would have had starring roles in them all. Except that the good Bard was into drag way before all this dumb hullaballoo (and if I just lost some of you with that statement, go right ahead and wave goodbye, we wouldn’t sit at the same table at the high school cafeteria back in the day anyway. Because I’m nice I’ll just hope that one day you can actually love everyone. Cuz that’s kind of my jam). Along my path through this world, I had the occasion and blessing to share it with a remarkable woman, an energy dynamo, exuding love and a bit of chaos and magic wherever she went, with a smile as big as the Earth. She was diagnosed with a rare cancer and 4 years later chose the date to enter hospice, disco ball hanging above her bed, asked us all (virtually) to hoist one in her honor, and with favorite music blasting, went on from this plane. It was through her that I was introduced to the writings of Suleika Jaouad, herself a rare cancer traveler, and author, her words so beautifully written and so real. In her book, Between Two Kingdoms, A Memoir of a Life Interrupted, she wrote about “The 100 Day Project.” Described as “a process, a journey sans predetermined destination.” I do love when I get to throw in a bit of my high school French. It is a call to do something, even something small, every day for 100 days. Thus, the Consequential Conduit was born. I hope you will join me – some posts will make you laugh, some will make you cry, some will make you think, and maybe I will piss you off. Dunno, but I’ve got at least another 99 days to see what occurs.
