Florida, Oddly Enough

Four days to clean the house, relax, smell the good smells outside. The pleasure of knowing I can go back to sleep if I want to, but getting up anyway to walk Sandy in the fragrant morning air. Time to relax and catch up on some reading, reading other people’s thoughts. It’s so nice. You can turn it off if you need to, or dive in deep if that’s the need. I read something today that had a line that really grabbed me. It was talking about not rushing to make decisions when your emotions are not clear. “First, get rid of the reasons.” Make of that what YOU will. For me, it means listen to the body. What will it tell you if you listen? Often surprising. Wish I would do it more often…

The other line that hit me was , “If only we could love without injury.” Same. But even an injury can lead to growth. Personally, I fuck up so often, and possessing a decent brain, I can only hope it’s coming to some good, somehow. We think we intend no harm, but there are other forces within us at play. Transformative processes. I may be an airhead but I’m not without an above average ability to contemplate. It’s sorely needed.

Sorry. Hello, ego. I at least think I’m good at contemplation.

Here’s to your renewal in the coming year, ala Easter.
