May I have YOUR input on what happened today?
In the afternoon, I had cortisone injections in both feet with those long bone-penetrating needles, after the "freeze" spray that they apply. This has NOTHING to do with the story, but my Dr is quite a handsome young man. Well anyway! Shortly thereafter, we dropped by the Catholic Church in Palm Springs that we go to (now, on rare occasions). This time, we went to say our prayers and blessings in honor of Pope Francis. We did the holy water, as always, upon entering and again as we were leaving. We stepped out into the bright sunny Palm Springs heat, and I unknowingly walked directly into a massive swarm of irritated, ANGRY bees! Chris was barely spared, but he was stung as well.
I tried to run when I realized what was happening, but my dead-numb feet would not work (I couldn't much feel them). I took at least a dozen stings to my face, chin and my neck plus a few more on my upper arms. I nearly hit my face hard on the concrete due to my temporarily non-functional feet, but I managed to hold my balance, somehow, after what seemed like several minutes of flopping around on my clunky feet, in spite of great trekkies. My feet were as useless as eight-inch heels on an 80-year-old man trying to run in a marathon! Yes, the stings initially hurt like "HOLY F___" there for a while, but then, within minutes - suddenly, no whelps, very little pain and almost no sign of the stings at all!
Was it the cortisone freshly flowing through my veins? The Holy water? Divine intervention? Magic? My love of bees and our natural Mother Earth....or all of it? Either way, today, I am blessed.
Blessed be to my wonderful readers with LOVE and PEACE! It isn't always about the light in my eyes, but the spark I see in yours. michaelhuntermcvay.com
