Gratitude And Ponderings
1- mackeral sky
from the deck
in sarah-star and al's backyard
2- i love to hear the sound
of my duaghter's voice
as she talks @ the breakfast table
with steve and al
3- i don't even hafta hear
her words
just the tone of her voice
its lilts and harmony
make me feel connected
to bone of my bone
4- the blood that courses
thru her veins
came partly from mine
5- i did not imagine
how huge and wandering
enormous big and diversified
The North Carolina Renaissance
Festival would possibly be
the paths went on and on
meandering through visual
delights aromatic sensations
a day full to the brim and
overflowing with a wide variety
of textures to feel
6- the sensation of watching
a giant pendulum
bigger than all of us
swaying back and forth, hypnotizing us
transporting us
back in time
7- the costumes
what joy and delight
there is to step out of the box
to create a look
a style
a fashion
that let's you dance, prance
/stomp, tromp
/trapse around
in a different frame
of mind
pretending to be
a different character
in a different time and place
sometimes the pictures
we frame in our mind
are old timey
and remind us
there are threads of truth
that we are weaving with now
that connect us
with silver, golden or patchwork
threads
to days of long ago
9- came home and ate
salmon dinner
we sat with kathy, al
and sarah-star @ the kitchen table
10- watched 2 episodes of The Colony
11- and the movie THE UGLY TRUTH
12- read a bit in Kate Jacobs'
KNIT TWO

Gratitude And Ponderings
1- home for just one day
but ah! it feels good to the bones
to be home @ our Fish River
dwelling place
2- [notes from Guy Finley's
FEARLESS LIVING:
LET GO AND GROW BEYOND
THE LIMITATION OF ILLUSIONS]
Key Lesson: The true depth
and breadth of the heart
is measured not only by
what it can hold,
but also by how willing
it is to let go.
(who new
whole new)
3- our True Self
the presence of a timeless
Light within us
whose power makes
all things possible
whose presence makes
things right
a source of courage
@ the very center of us
our fearless nature
4- recover our native fearlessness. . .
soon comes a whole new way to
live
laugh
and love
5- this indwelling Light
/still small voice within us
that is incapable of
compromising itself
and that would rather perish
than cause unnecessary pain
to another
6- this celestial part of
our consciousness
lives in everyone
> our conscience is one
7- By the Light we are empowered
to see things as they are
to understand
and to become the very things
we have sought for
and fought for
all of our lives:
compassion
wisdom
kindness
courage
and love
8- our spiritual task,
assuming we are stirred
to seek
is to awaken ourselves
to this indwelling Living Light
and become what is
right
and bright
Our True Self
9- revelation: No fearful sense
of limitation/ inadequacy
belongs to our True Self
10- we already have
everything we need
to succeed
11- we are consciously grateful
for our life's ceaseless unfolding
12- our soul task
is to release ourselves
from an unconscious relationship
with a false self
13 [ESSENE BOOK OF DAYS]
today: I will bring the spirit of
Inner Glow to my: radiating of
the light within my spirit
14- feelings: i wish everyone
the whole world over
could begin their day
with a song in their heart
that uplifts their spirits
and fills their cup to the brim
and overflowing
with good ju-ju stuff
so that it sloshes over
onto all they meet
on the trails they walk
each day
15- stayed HOME
in my PJs all day
16- Renee came
and braided and beaded my hair
I Body Talked with her
17- unpacking
and packing
18- listened to the last session
of Clarissa Pinkola Estes'
stories of MOTHER NIGHT
