When we met

Was one thing.

Where we are now is another.

Do we still want to be together?

One simple question do you love him/her?

Is your love unconditional?

If it is not unconditional then you are in some kind of contractual relationship.

If it is unconditional then you can work things out or let him/her go because that's what unconditional means.

If no then what are the terms of your spoken or unspoken agreement?

Still acceptable?

Then stay and make the most of it.

Not acceptable?

Something changed, then time to consider, maybe time to move on or out.

Do not stay together for the sake of it.

If things have changed then acknowledge this.

Be honest with yourself and your partner.

Shoes

They tell a lot about us.

Our fashion interest.

Our functional concern.

Our color sense

Our preferrred shape.

Are they clean and cared for?

How are yours?

Do you even notice?

When you want to buy some you suddenly notice others.

Once you have them you pay less attention.

Yet when we meet someone we notice their shoes.

Shoes are changing so fast now they are all colors, textures and shapes.

The old stigma against trainers is going now that they cost so much.

Indeed what we wear and when is also changing

What do your shoes say about you?

UV rays

Today is a day when uv rays are meant to amplify everything a millionfold.

True or false it is nevertheless a good idea to pay attention to our thoughts.

These thoughts will anyway shape our future.

So today be careful as the action following your thoughts will be a millionfold quicker and more powerful.

True or false we will observe.

Around 1700 hours today find somewhere quiet and meditate for what is important for you.

Bring something nice into being.

Thoughts

Are what cause us harm.

Why?

Because we cannot leave them alone.

They dominate our days.

Worming around disturbing our other actions.

Imagine the damage they do over time.

Thoughts are yours to control.

Control those thoughts, random thoughts cause so much trouble.

Said many times however we always put things off.

So start learning to control those thoughts please.

More on children

Do you ever spend time with children?

If yes then you will know what I mean when I say tiring.

If not then notice the noise and enthusiasm that they put into everything.

Essentially they love life.

Few cloudy days or sadness.

A spontenaity.

A curiosity

A simple belief that things are fine.

No worries about tomorrow

That comes later after our programming them to worry abouyt life and the so called future.

Help children to stay innocent.

Enjoy their love of life

Might we even dare say, learn from them!

Jem

How time flies when we don't see each other for some time.

Particularly when in this case Jem was only five years old and today he is ten years old.

The growth is amazing when five years have passed at this time in one's life.

Not only the physical growth but the maturity and knowledge gained in those five years.

From five to ten we learn so much.

What did we learn in those same five years?

A little more knowldege?

Some wisdom?

If we do not have children of our own have we forgotten their freshness and curiosity?

If you want to learn about where you are then spend some time with young people.

No nonsense, just straight answers and open remarks.

Try it!

Different eyes

Men and women see differently

No great secret in that.

Considering that this is so how come we get at crossed purposes so easily?

Maybe lack of attention.

Maybe lack of interest.

Just did not think.

And so it goes on, until the next time that is.

Smarter would be ot understand what pushes the buttons.

If it gets too much then time to consider what is going on.

Often we feel we have clearly said to the other what we do not like.

However if we ask them then they may well reply that they did not hear or understand what we had said.

So take the trouble to communicate clearly in different ways at different time if necessary.

Because indeed we have different eyes.

We simply do not see or feel the same things in the same way.

Approaching death

Many pretend it is not for them

Many do not want to think about it

Tell us who has not at one time or another thought about it?

And for you?

What is death?

Does it frighten you?

For all the research done on it by scientists and others we are still muddled in our thinking about it in the West.

The truth is that death is just a transition.

Really.

From one life to another.

But to know this for yourself you will need to look for yourself.

Do not believe one way or the other until you have looked for yourself.

Why should you do this?

Easy it takes away a lot of needless worry.

Find peace of mind, have a look..

Find comfort with the idea of death as transition.

Look at Sylvia Cranston's writing on this subject.

Daily lives

Are our lot each and every day.

Every hour of every day.

Every glance.

Every thought.

Every mood.

Take a moment to notice how blind you have become to things you know.

Time to freshen your days.

Live more consciously.invent a new way of seeing.

Notice how we rush from a to b without paying attention.

Slow down and enjoy the day more.

Notice more, experience more.

Heavy head

And along comes flu

Not a cold but flu.

Flu comes in many flavors

All are nasty.

Drink lots of water.

If you do not have to do something very important then go and lie down.

Recovery is quicker when we are smart.

So either lie in bed for a while or take your mind off it by doing something where you can stop thinking about it.

Either way it takes days to go.

There is no short cut.

So acknowledge the misery and let it come out.

suppressing it with pills is not very smart.

So let it out.

Flu surely helps us appreciate good health!

Strengthen your immune system winter approaches.
