Mother Nature

With the weather changing from thunder storms to the intense sun, within minutes, it now appears clearer why weather has been assigned a gender.

During the sunny periods, not sure why I insist on picking up the leaves as soon as they fall to the earth. This is not sustainable. Nature always "wins out" in the end.

My idea of a fun evening is to clean up my yard, prefering this to being in a crowd.

It is a fine replacement, for now, to being in nature on the Seven Mile Beach, where I used to sit, Caribbean Sea lapping at my feet, watching the sun set and feeling very calm. It doesn't even feel like a replacement, being in my backyard. It simply, is.

Contrary to what I planned, I will not be going back to the Caymans first week July 2008, a holiday for me.

I am continuing on with this new adventure, taking different routes, changing routines, and attempting new things, with the intent to create new neural pathways in my brain, and thereby hopefully increase my levels of intelligence and intuition.

On Saturday I went somewhere that I do not usually go, rather than where I was planning to go, due to time constraints. I intuitively knew that I likely ended up there instead, for a specific reason. Sure enough, while attempting a hasty exit, I was asked to give my phone number to a committee member of a community event in the fall of 2008, and to speak at this event. I gave my consent.

The meditation helps. I used to do this daily in the Caymans, and have now re-established this habit in Canada. It is leading to further depth of understanding in interactions, in an attempt to try to understand at deeper levels what is not communicated, as much if not more than even what is explicitly stated.

There is no desire whatsoever to impose my will on anyone else. Firstly, my 'will' can be short-lived and, depending upon the day, not from a grounded self. Secondly, it is becoming increasingly clear that the only will that is appropriate to impose upon is my own. Everything around me seems to change when I keep the focus (of 'change') on myself.

If you could see what I see in my mind....a more perfect, healthier world....you'd be smiling too.
