(i just made that up.don't go looking 4 it)

because we need another viewpoint

in my case

blogger, twitter, disqus

how can we humans keep up with all this 

and still watch all the tv shows?

oh, and eat sleep work feed cats

and pay 4 it all?

Then something happens,

so bad, we cannot even stomach a glimpse.

and my problems feel so

small.

Labyrinth

Labyrinth

I walked the path

Around and around,

Forward, then right or left,

Effectively turning,

twirling in slow motion

sort of.

Did the turnings and thinking,

walking the path,

enjoying air and sunshine,

ultimately lead to

head clearing?

The mountain roads curled

around and around the mountain slopes

up and down,

Across creeks, streams, sags.

Taking me home, eventually.

Mountain memories

Energy lines found,

Did you feel the energy?

could you go round and round?

The mountain road and the labyrinth,

Energies entwined,

Healing all in its path,

Great that I could find.

Where is Spring?

Where is

Spring?

Every year no matter how warm it seems to be,

Spring simply will not begin

until Mother Nature chooses.

Posting some archival spring views.

spring will follow soon...

Senses

Roses

Buddy

phlox & spider web

Senses.
When each of us experiences this page,
We each will have a different memory.
I took the photos, intertwined with
planting, tending, caring for the subjects incl.Buddy, our old cat.r.i.p.
Meaning, did we even store these memories in different parts of our brain?

Links and Thoughts

Posting as often as necessary
to keep up with the swirl of info that comes in.
Life starts picking up in the Spring...North America...
Vortices's of energy?? Like the winds?
Sundays were Mom's days I decided long ago. I had not lived near her for 30 years but we talked many Sundays. Today, I want to devote part of Sunday to what Mom would find so interesting (along with me.) We would have had something to talk about, which got harder the more debilitated and "shut in" that she got.

First, a link to Jean's website.

http://www.jeanhouston.org/

aka Discover your Inner Purpose (no promises)...
did you need a promise of enlightenment?

I really enjoyed her mini free seminar and glad I took an hour for Myself.
The sensory imaging was so interesting to me,
like aerobics for my brain...imagine a rose garden, smell, feel, taste, wow,
next item...in a spectrum of items, acidic, sweet, bitter, fresh, smells,
rounding out my experience of the moment...all senses...
Who is not even secretly looking for Your true calling? Your correct best path,
Your keys to success.

The course promises more lectures, exercises, workbooks.
I cannot afford this, even if it paid me back in material success.
I did however take a few notes which materialized into the Triangle configuration I keep envisioning.


 

notes from jean houston lecture

Then I thought about her reference to a caterpillar.
A Butterfly,
the sophisticated organization,
Cells Coming together...so orderly and perfect,
from a mushy caterpillar...
More thoughts of Mom, her love of butterflies,
the Giant swallowtail that came to see me after Mom died.
The chat this week how a close friend of Levon's keeps seeing butterflies.
You know, it is not just the seeing the butterfly,
it is like the butterfly is trying to cheer you up,
snap you out of it,
Griefous Interruptous.

So if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, buy Jean's course.
No matter what the skeptics might say,
Nothing can be bad about unleashing your inner possibilities,
Be who you were meant to be.

 

Psalm Challenge 99, afterword

I Put up my Psalm 99 challenge offering last PM our time zone. Had a few things I wanted to add.
First, it was hard for me to get the drift of 99. I understood it better as a high royal praise expression. I Liked the cherub reference. Some articles said the cherubs
were on the Ark? Thought Ellen Clapsaddle's Postcard a perfect angel cherub.
Ellen had quite a story herself. As delightful as her art appears it has a darkness lingering when you know her story. Love an admirable theme. Finally A video I made and I am Kloot did the music.
I like the imagery of footsteps, letting go of fear of falling, and their music. Thought it matched the woods photos well. The woods a cathedral, a holy place. A sanctuary.

p.s. last night we watched Love for Levon concert again. Wow, again.
buy at

levonhelm.com


will listen to Dylan's The Tempest
fot anniversary of Titanic loss
& say a prayer for them.
His lyrics guide you through the ship
in the final days and hours.

Psalm Challenge 99

Psalm 99

Angels and inner voices, Your inner code. Just got done listening to Jean Houston's fascinating talk about awakening to inner potential you have as yet untapped.
Knew I had to study the next Psalm, 99. Another King, Royal Psalm.
Praising, reminding us to Praise God.
I liked the part about the Earth is God's footstool.

King James Version (KJV)

99 The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

Ellen Clapsaddle Postcard artwork

 

² The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
³ Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
⁴ The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
⁵ Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

⁷ He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
⁸ Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
⁹ Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Ramble day

hey, another Saturday...... night,

Music...does it just sound better on Saturday?

Last night we spooled up the second DVD of Love for Levon.

Wow, the interviews are completely absorbing, personal

tributes by his daughter and other artists who adored Levon, and who he adored.

It took more than a few kleenex to get through this awesome 

Meanwhile, today I will post a link to Levon's website,

Where you can buy Love for Levon or ramble tickets.
