An office of my own
I was blissfully going through emails in my lumbong across the garden from my house in Bali this morning, when I read a friend’s newsletter. That was the first I heard about the recent “random shooting” in Arizona.
I love not being fed the news on a regular basis. It lets me believe that the world is overall, a pretty safe place.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t experience a few of my own OMG events.
Yesterday when speeding along on my motor scooter down a bumpy country road, rice paddies whizzing by, I saw a plate-sized spider inching his way to my left hand on the handlebar. I screamed (which must have looked strange had anyone been watching) and veered to the side of the road leaping from the bike to await the spider’s departure. I don’t know what I would have done had that spider reached my hand before I managed to stop.
“How Safe Do You Feel” is a treatise on living our lives like they might be changed drastically, or end, at any moment.
Thanks Peggy for this latest scream of consciousness.

Eek! I didn’t know there were plate-sized spiders in Bali. I choose Bali to go to last year instead of Thailand or Vietnam where I *know* there are plate-sized spiders. 🙂 Your office is lovely as is your gate. I agree, not being fed news on a daily basis is bliss. See you soon, Ms. Robin!
