"A Bit of Claraty"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Retirement:
As the explorer, discoverer and founding member of WOW [Wiser Older Women], the least unorganized but most rapidly growing segment of our population, I am proud to be a crone and to have reached the advanced status of octogenarian with most of my senses still intact or at least enhanced by spectacles and hearing aid. The welcome support of family and friends has so far empowered me that I bask finally in a retirement that requires only that I sit and wait. Don't ask me what I'm waiting for. If I knew that, I wouldn't be waiting.
A former student of mine sent me a little wooden sign which hung in her bathroom. When I visited her in Texas , I read this sign with pleasure every time I sat there. So back home when I opened her package [she's a Tupperware dealer and she boxed up a miscellany for me] and saw that sign, I knew where to hang it. It's in my laundry room/bathroom and I read it with pleasure every time I sit there.
It's an overstuffed, blue and white striped arm chair. Against three pillows a striped cat is stretched out, snoozing and smiling. The legend on the chair says it all: “How wonderful to do nothing and rest afterwards.” Can you possibly beat that as a mantra?
Sitting and waiting in my comfortable, snug house, surrounded by books, companioned by Mitzi, my Chihuahua crone, is not a bad way to face the day either. It reminds me of the spiritual practice of surrender. I remember that expectations are planned disappointments. Something is always changing, happening, unfolding. Life is good. So I speak, aloud or not, the best prayer in the world: “Abba, thanks for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever.”
