“

I’ll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened
When I cross that bridge
It’ll be as if this don’t exist

Have a prince who is waiting
And a kingdom downtown
I’ll go back to Manhattan
As if nothing ever happened

Don’t have to speak at all
One look in your eyes
And I won’t have to fall
Don’t have to speak at all

Brooklyn holds you
And holds my heart too
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds

Don’t have to speak at all
One look in your eyes
And I won’t have to fall
Don’t have to speak at all

I should go back to Manhattan
It’s just a train ride away
I know nothing about leaving
But I know I should do it today

”

- Norah Jones

all in a day's work....

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:56:49 -0500

I sat there and spoke to my patient about his wife’s death for about an hour while he I gave him a blood transfusion. His wife was out doing yardwork—“just keeping busy, you know,” he said, when a tree came right down on her and went bulls-eye right on top of her chest. He said he never knew what reality was until he came outside that day and realized his wife was no longer breathing, and her heart wasn’t beating. He asked me if I really thought that a transfusion would do anything but sustain him, “and for what?” he said, “it should have been me….I should have gone down under that stupid tree, not her.” He gave me details about how 3 different news stations showed up at his house only an hour after it happened. How he had never yelled at anyone that loud before to get off his lawn. And how his neighbors, who had never spoken even a word to him before were suddenly interested in the details of the death of his wife….how all of a sudden, people in the neighborhood were pruning their trees and taking extra attention to them. “Her therapist told her to keep busy by doing something regularly, and well, she wasn’t depressed for awhile there, but if it wasn’t for her damn yard work she’d still be here,” he said. He apologized for his lack of cheerfulness about 5 times during that story. I’m not sure why he felt like he needed to apologize to me when all I could think of was how sorry I felt for him.

I didn’t say anything. I just listened, for a whole hour- and I tried my best to hold back tears and to figure out how this man would go home and live his life without his wife…without someone to look after him. That’s my job, but it doesn’t ever get easy to deal with.

“

I’ve learned that powerful emotion has no recipe,
it’s often spontaneous and unpredictable.
Happening when the right two people are in the right moment.
Most often there are barefeet and flushed cheeks
and possibly an old dress or a twisted tree with branches full of that
effortless green that only nature seems to produce.

I call it “The Squish”
The need to cry and sing out over the lovliness of some thing.
When a moment is so positively right that doubt ceases to exist
and your body tells you, this is it.
this is all of it.
this is everything.

”

i frequently get “the squish” and just could never put a name to it. guess that means i have a pretty damn good life. so thank you…. so very much.
