Morning Agitation

August 23, 2010

I am agitated this morning. I didn’t sleep well. I awoke in the middle of the night worried about Daddy. Is he getting the care that he needs? I think he is too weak to be alone, but I can’t be there all day, everyday; neither can my sister. He is just stubborn enough that [...]

Believe Impossible Things

August 19, 2010

There is no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” — Lewis Carroll Related Posts:Responsibility of [...]

Circling the Journal

July 27, 2010

While floating in the lake watching the feather drift, I saw Pedro suddenly jump up from where he had been sleeping. Something startled him and he began barking. I peered in more closely to see what could have given him the heebeegeebees, and I saw that my journal was flapping in the wind on top [...]

Gratitude Heals

July 15, 2010

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” Meister Eckhart I have much to be thankful for. Today I am especially thankful for dear friends who are visiting from up north. There are so many blessings in my life. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by them all. They [...]

The Other Silence

July 14, 2010

“Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us. Not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other [...]

Tossing and Turning

July 8, 2010

“Think enough and you won’t know anything.” Kenneth Patchen I’m sitting at the bar in Einstein Bros Bagels in Augusta GA drinking a cappuccino breve with an extra shot of espresso. Sounds of air-conditioning, refrigerator, coffee machines, people chattering, and the groove of electronic music overwhelm and dull. I already have a hangover from sleeping [...]

The Practice of Discipline

July 7, 2010

The Kingfisher dove suddenly from the tall pine. I heard his chatter just before he launched. I looked up to witness the bird tumble toward the water, submerge for a split second, then rise with ease. He plunged with resolve and precision. I had been glancing up at him from my float while he sat [...]

Surprised, Touched, Inspired

July 2, 2010

I recently met with a friend whom I haven’t seen for 32 years. We had reconnected through Facebook and had some exchanges, but meeting in person was a real treat. She gifted me with a book she thought I would enjoy. She determined this by reading my status updates and my blog. I was touched [...]

Prepping for Beauty

June 18, 2010

I painted my living room yesterday. It has taken over 6 hours from beginning to end. At first, I struggled around all the furniture, convinced I couldn’t make more room for myself to move. After bumping into things repeatedly, getting cramps in my body from the contortions, and frustrating myself to no end, I finally [...]

90-Day Challenge

June 11, 2010

I mentioned last week that I have lost my mojo. I’ve been a tad bogged down. Lately, I’ve been listening to a series of talks through Integral Spiritual Experience, World’s Spirituality, and Feminine Power in an attempt to expand my mind and spirit. It helps to be taking in such inspiration, but it is not [...]
