Taking the time while you're in the forest to look around

What? Why would we be in the forest?   Good question,  and I suspect that if there are any nature lovers out there, they go into the forest just to look around.  Oh, the things that you see, and even more the things you might miss if you don't pay attention.    So are you paying attention?  By this I mean to what is going on around you, now.  The seen and the unseen.    The obvious, and the not so obvious, or hidden, or not so easy to spot if you don't pay attention.     Right now, I want to advise you to pay more attention, or more than the usual. Don't relay on one source of information.     So many humans on this planet are very distracted by their gadgets, their toys, their games, that what may or may not be going on is not on their radar.      So here goes,  our ecomony as even the most unattentive of you might know is struggling.  Our government is very slowly havin...

Seven years later, reflections on learning about myself and how this homework thing gets worked out.

           Tomorrow marks the seventh year since our son committed suicide.  It seems like just the other day in many ways.  My heart still hurts, I still miss him, I talk to him everyday, but I have stopped crying.            It's funny how my views on relationships have changed.  I went from thinking in a grateful manner for one friend who called every week, but mostly so she could cry on my shoulder about her thirty something children and her ex-husband from thirty years ago.            I finally got the gumption to gently let her know that I was just not able to listen to her racial remarks, and constant complaining about every little percieved insult from decades earlier in her life.            I pondered on the fact that she never said to any of her family t...

It's a small Universe - part two

        So,   there was a space of quite a few years in between the sighting with my daughter and the next.         And so many things happened during the course of that time period.  I began to learn about Reiki and the flow of Univeral Energy, my daughter graduated, went to college, got married, and had a baby, then graduated.  And my son commited suicide.  He was only 22 years old.          He was almost finished with his first stint in college.  And my whole life from that point on was turned on it's head.            However, during that time period, I worked with an old lady who was a energy healer.  She was from England and had trained in France with a very famous energy healer.           The first thing she did was take some phot...

It's a small Universe - part one

    I never remember any of my family talking about UFO's too much.  Oh maybe a little here and there, with a smirk on a face.  When the subject was mentioned, but that would be a very quickly passed over oddity.    My parents have a friend who is very interested in them.  But again, it gets the smirk and passed by.    And yet as a family group we were very interested in the space race.  I recall watching the landing on the Moon. I was in high school then.  Neil Armstrong stepping out onto the surface of the Moon, and the footprint on the surface of the Moon.  And all that went with it.     After that, my life was filled with graduating, the whole college experience, disillusion with college, working, questing for the person I was looking for, often in others, and the dead ends those led to.      A long process, life long.  I found someone who loved me, I loved him, we got p...

The cult of victimhood, or how not to be one

      Every day we all hear some story from the news on something that happens to an innocent person. Granted some things just occur quickly, like a plant crash, car accident, what have you, and can be hard to avoid.      But other things do require that someone somewhere is not paying attention to the things going on around them, not giving the attention and effort before hand to prevent certain occurances from taking place.      Or on the other hand, some people seem to always be at the focal point to become a victim.  Jumping in to a situation with others without a thought about the outcome.      Either conciously or subconciously.       There is a solution, try to develop your analytical skills.  Viewing your surroundings, where are you at that point, where are your childrens, are they secure and safe?  Are you in a secure and safe location as y...
