My Two Jet-Setting Sons

I received a lovely long letter via email from Ky written last night. He is in New York City preparing to leave for London again mid month.

He too is ecstatic about Kadir’s trip and feels he will have a life altering experience as he did, suddenly making the rest of the world much more accessible.

Kadir has been invited to go to a resort in Cancun and will be accompanied by two of his school friends and their mom. Karen and I spent a few furious days trying to cough up a passport for him and to our amazement we succeeded.

Ky let me into his feelings (where he is usually tight-lipped) and despite the fact that he thought the grammar was atrocious it is one of the easiest to read pieces I have ever received from him. There was no bad grammar that I could see at all.

I had a few stunningly vivid dreams last night. In one I was talking to the Dalai Lama and in another being reunited with Veronica, the mother of my young (in the dream) son Chad. At times it seemed to be Kadir that I was walking with and hugging and kissing spontaneously. It was a wonderful feeling of bonding, of being welcomed by those I love.

I woke around 7 a.m. saying “Wow” and then going to the bathroom and going back to sleep to dream some more. I woke at 9:15, a perfect time for me to get up.

It is Sunday and feels like it although I couldn’t help but notice men’s voices in the hallway this morning. Whether they are residents or visitors I don’t know.

I checked Ky’s photos on Flickr this morning and he has now (what an array of changes in the past year) morphed into a Bob Dylan lookalike with a short beard, sunglasses, black suit w thin black tie and a small brimmed fedora style hat!

He posted a stunning photo of himself typing on a portable machine while sitting at a small desk on a dock or platform outdoors churning out pages of writing which are flying in the breeze all around him.

He calls it “too commercial” but I call it BRILLIANT! (Google: ky zoss photos) He never ceases to amaze me.

I also Googled “Milk Bar” which is the coffee shop in Soho he will be working in this month, once he arrives and settles in. He has a lucky horseshoe stowed somewhere on him.

Kadir flies out from YVR early tomorrow morning and Ky from JFK mid month.

I have marked both dates on my calendar so I can track the flight paths of my two suddenly grown-up young jet setting sons!
