Happy Thanksgiving
Have a wonderful holiday and be good to each other.
Words have power
While we like to teach children coping mechanisms by giving them a rhyme about sticks and stones, words have an amazing amount of power. If you don’t believe me, just watch any self-help show or the latest episode of Biggest Loser. Why would we need someone to confess to a crime or to admit that…
Affinities
We have such a craving for super powers or ESP or anything paranormal. There are lots of science fiction movies and tv shows out there and shows that claim to be ‘reality’ about these things. I personally enjoyed “Men Who Stare At Goats”. However I think some of this stems from our own personal, physical…
Change is in the air
We are taught that Spring is the time of massive creative change. Everything is procreating and growing and blooming and budding. The light is returning, life awakens and everything is full of hope and new beginnings. But Fall is also a time of massive, radical change. Everything that we have been and done over this…
If you were a deity
If you were a deity, which one would you be and why? Would you be one because of their specific X-men type powers and what you could do with them, seemingly without consequences? Would you choose one because you want more of what they represent in your life? Would you be Nordic, Native American, or…
Remembering
“But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.” J. R. R. Tolkien The Silmarillion
Get Grounded
Dancers know that you are not getting anything one or going anywhere if you aren’t paying attention to your feet. For most people, circus acts and Cirqe not withstanding, our feet are the way we get around in the world. They support us, they motivate us, and they allow us to wear beautiful shoes. 🙂…
Sleep
Sleep is a magic thing that I don’t think we have enough gratitude for. Our bodies use the time we are sleeping to do major processing. We replenish our tissues, soothe our nervous system, manufacture new fluids and chemicals in order to recharge our organs, focus on healing areas that have become damaged such as…
Persistence
It’s difficult to wait for what you want. We’re taught that with enough money you can get anything you want right now. No why pay attention to anything for any length of time? And more is better, right? Well all of that applies to commodities or things, but the world is not just commodities and…
Limitations
It’s always surprising to me that with all the physical limitations there are are in the world, geography, time, resources, that what hampers us most often is the limits we have in our own minds. How often have you heard someone grip about not being able to do something or get something and when you…
