elfsI have a new alter. Looking back, this new integration should have been obvious, but it’s nice to have him now. He is Sage.
Sage’s first day on the Council has been funny. He manifested because I needed the courage and fortitude to start talking to my doctors more directly, to ask better questions and get better answers. So, this evening, the Council kinda got together. Critic sat next to him and Girl Scout asked, “Well, you’re the keeper of ‘What should we do next,’ right?”
Sage said, “Look, the point of me is not to pick our projects, this practice can’t do that. It’s to help us do those projects in a way that supports our collective vision of a good life, caveat the ADHD and other challenges. And today, we did very well. The surgeon came in. We asked the question we said we would ask. We got the answer we didn’t necessarily want to hear, but he did describe the next steps, the courses of action. And it is the next step, not the step three or four steps down the line.”
And then he paused for a moment and said, “And my goodness, you were not kidding. That Omaha woman is fierce, isn’t she?”
Girl Scout rolled her eyes and said, “We know.”
Sage leans back against the sofa and tents his hands in his lap. “The only question now is simple: how permanent am I? Will you all support my invocation tomorrow?”
Girl Scout said, “We’ll try.”
“I suppose that’s all I can ask.”
