2018.03.27 - Day 13

OK. Back to the intention of this exercise.

Breathe. Settle. See the sun and the earth, the tree and the cow. See lunch. Eat, appreciate.

I notice a tendency to feel either righteous or guilty about what I'm eating. When I let go of that I notice the food itself more.

Thank you, Wester!

(and thanks Adams Dubrovna for getting mind going and expanded today)

The tendency (blames Western Scientist mental :) to think the way to Seeing and Appreciating 'All' is to tear it to pieces and assign guilt or righteous points to each part.
The Presence of Being must certainly be some summing of the merits of molecules, star clusters, love/hate relationships, calories, what others think, the current point of view, amount of pain in knees, memory of grandmother's words, how many bass players does it take to screw in a light bulb? last night's dream snippets, etc. etc.
Tear All apart, put them in 99 bottles on the shelf.

Sit back.
In the center.
Look.
Breathe.
Let us Dance!

Sailing with Adams, opening up like a bird of paradise with Aphrodite, bowing to my food with Wester, drifting with Eliza, reading snippets of different books with Alma, bowing to my multiple selves with Riddle and dancing, I realize I forgot to contribute to Day 12.

Spent a lot of time yesterday setting up the FitBit device I just got to monitor more easily my daily 10,000 steps and got carried away, drifting away, ¨breaking new ground¨, sort of, to the open sea:)

I seem to have landed on an island or some such. It doesn't appear to be on my map. Either I don't have the stamina that I once had nine and a half years ago or I am a bit more patient now. WHO is a bit more patient? Anyway it was another day of resting. No use sailing in circles when one can rest I guess.I feel content with where things are tonight.

Thanks Eden for noting us all and thanks to Alma, Riddle, Wester, Eliza and Aphrodite for keeping this project going. Apologies to anyone I missed.

Thank you Riddle for being so welcoming to AD this morning. edited 23:59, 27 Mar 2018

Annie Dillard took me on a bit of a wild ride today. I'm somewhat speechless. How does she do that?

Finished session with Riddle and Adams last week. Made note in my journal:

Adams Rubble: but when we love we would move closer to God or in PaB terms, Being
Adams Rubble: When we Love we are Playing as Being :))))\
Riddle Sideways: :)) nice

Which reminded me that I have a 'love notes' page, in my Guardian Pages:
https://wiki.playasbeing.org/Guardian_Pages/Guardians'_Contributions/Eliza/Love_Notes

Which reminded me of Walt Whitman, and why have I never added him to that page? SophiaSharon and I used to consider this together...

“Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then,
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass;
I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name,
And I leave them where they are,
for I know that others will punctually come forever and ever.” edited 00:28, 28 Mar 2018
