I remember now yet again, the day my first computer crashed
It was all well and good if the motherboard conked out but not with my hard drive full of files
Full of my medicine cabinet of writing
I remember making a promise… kind of a bargaining deal, if you ask me
Please God restore all my files intact and I will know that you want me to write and publicly display the thoughts in my head as soon as I can afford publishing
Miraculously God sent two PC technicians who agreed to if I am willing to risk losing everything, attempt recovery.
My good lord, this risk was a hard pill for my weak mind and pumping heart.
Talk about the longest leg of leap of faith I took, not hate first though just the first longest deep breath in a long time.
Off the PC went and I wish I could follow it all the way to computer ICU that weekend was like a lifetime on its own.
Somehow my heart was at peace. I wondered how could you be at peace at such a time like this!
Good lord
The following Tuesday, with cds in hand one of the IT angels brought me all my files intact and took one look at me and said; I don’t know what you intend to do with these files but here you are- all in tact- as for the computer it is ready for cremation.
My God, my cheeks were too small to contend my tears and my thank you were too limp and lame to express appreciation still it was accepted as enough
That was five years ago.
So wrote a poem as usual, to make sense of the situation
Two years later the second computer crashed… this time I was little prepared with external back up
Lately I have been feeling like something terrible is about to happen and this time I better get the lesson… I figure I better call on awareness to help me out because I did not want to wait till the milk spilled
Sure enough
It was my womb- my water broke, not the computer
So here’s to my growing pains
