(Look it up for the meaning!). A French term used in drama to refer to the final scene. As Frank Sinatra sang, in his signature song, My Way, \u201cAnd now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.\u201d So I\u2019m entering that phase, the denouement of my life: Tying up loose ends. Letting go of things I\u2019m withdrawing from. I dreamed last night that I would prescribe some Valium for an acquaintance, and then woke up to realize I\u2019d moved out of Texas, where I had been licensed, and so wasn\u2019t able to prescribe any longer. Yet another blow (?)\u2014reminder ?\u2014relief ? I mused on my loss and realized it was trivial. I don\u2019t prescribe for others\u2014but prescribing had been part of my life for over 50 years! <\/p>\n
It may take me a decade to tie together all of the strands. Look at all of them (click this link<\/a>). In the olden days you couldn\u2019t do that. You had to walk three miles in the snow up to your pupik (Yiddish for belly button) just to make a hyperlink out of tinker-toys. What? You don\u2019t know what tinker-toys are? In my day… mufflegrump… (that was Ol\u2019Fart complex speaking). (Look it up for the meaning!). A French term used in drama to refer to the final scene.

My life has indeed been a trajectory, high productivity, many, many roles in different spheres<\/a>. I am being led to ruminate, reminisce, think about stuff. Joke about stuff. Play ol\u2019fart sometimes. Play, \u201c…to think, I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way, \u201cOh, no; oh, no, not me: I did it THY way.\u201d
Please note I substituted Thy<\/em> for My<\/em>, because so many things I\u2019ve been noticing are not just<\/em> good fortune\u2014though I\u2019ve had plenty of that, thank you angels\u2014but really \u201cI\u201d\u2014the part of me that wills, directs, and am consciously \u201cdoing\u201d\u2014doesn\u2019t do, in fact, more than a third of what comes through me, and less than a quarter of what happens to me! I\u2019m being given to and the least I can do is to grant that it\u2019s being done \u201cthy\u2019 way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
