Today's Gratitude

I am who I am
flowing and ever changing
I am who I am
looking always for new
I am who I am
listening for the flaw
I am who I am
moving forward
I am who I am
and that doesn't mean
that I'm static
or set in my ways
I am who I am
ever changing edited 18:48, 4 Feb 2013

A little pause ... and then a continuation. That is the way I work. I've never been a role model of day-on-day consistency!

My weight is, however, consistently going down. Mrs. Storm cooked yesterday for a change after we cleaned out the freezer. Cleaning? More like mining! Anyway she discovered an ingredient I'd have no clue how to prepare, so she did that while I watched the Super Bowl and munched on onion bhajis.

"There is no reason why a man should not be able to attain freedom from all suffering in this lifetime. I will show you how."

Meditated in the morning. I like the random setting on the gong.

::: A celestial harp
::: Is playing in the background
::: With the key of dreams

Very special metta time with Cat, Druthy and Lila - ty so much - it made such a difference that you all were there :)

I scrambled things up today a bit, trying to get back into a daily routine with Chi Gong in the morning, a short (too short) meditation in the afternoon followed by Tai Chi (13:00 minutes fast today) Hope to get more in the groove tomorrow and for the next 79 days

3am a lonely kitty wants to gently purr on chest. A great puzzlement over mad at being awaken or happy at the purring.
2 large complicated softwares are combining to thwart any productivity today.

In a language of branches and light, the cloud gives and takes dimension, from a picture on the wall.

Missed another day here yesterday; the end of day (when I usually write here) disappeared like a glimpsed dream 'gone' over the horizon; but maybe there's a bit of something waiting to be recognized in that -- our earnest efforts for care and love to self and others can seem to vanish but not really as they are just 'over the horizon'. This potential thought suggested by a (night) dream from which I arose refreshed and eager for the day.

My 20 minute morning meditation at O.F. brought a special claity on something that has been preoccupying me. Seems this is the time in the week when things become clearer, especially when my brain is freshly washed by 8 hours of sleep. Memories of loving conversations warmed my heart and gave me courage to persist in my burrowing down into the core of the matter.

Missed another day. Vaguely ill and incredibly tired, I stayed home from work, napped most of the day, slept early.
