A QUICK RIGHT TURN

In the past few days along my journey I've encountered a detour. The smooth road I've been on is in need of repair. Choices need to be made and new paths are to be taken. What will I see? What will I learn? What do I use as a Map or a Guide? So many questions and a lot of unknowns. It's good to have family and faith rapping their arms around me for comfort. I feel very blessed and thankful.

If all goes awry what is the positive side? One positive that comes to mind is that I win,I win the race on the journey to destiny. We will all run but I'll have the advantage of  arriving sooner than later. It's not the male bravado not fearing but it could be the fear of living past of considered usefulness that is a remote thought lurking in the recesses of awareness.

Am I ready? I hope so. The Plan is not mine as it is a Divine Plan and I believe I'm truly part of it. Life is a learning adventure.

The FALL of SUMMER

Can you smell the frost? Taste the red yellow and browns of the maple,aspen and oak. See flavors of ripened apples, grapes,melons and corn. Can you hear the sky with darker shades of gray. The senses tell not yet of course but the early morning signs are there. The need to savor the summer lingers the special times that reach the inner parts of heart and bring a flood of memories that are held so close. Not always shared but enjoyed and kept in that private place. The cycle of the four seasons in thought can be likened to birth,growth,understanding and dying. All things in their time. What a Divine Plan it is. Celebrate!!!!!

Contemplate

Random thoughts I think not. Millions of bits of data,ideas,thoughts,questions and what ifs. Are these choice??? Logic,reason or critical thinking is based on what is learned.What about perception or intuition??? Who or what instills these in ones mind? When inspired by the five senses we accept it as human understanding. What about the six or seven sense are these accepted or dismissed for lack of understanding. Blind faith is not blind. Not all questions have answers. (at least in the human sense) Take the gift time and contemplate Creation.

Seasons

Time allows me to listen to learn to enjoy the seasons...... not those of the year but those of life. Time gives the chance read and hear my children as they move thru their seasons. Part of my season is to review and reflect on memories of seasons past. (It's a older thing I would guess.) Joys and good times are many these I try to hold close. Regrets are few I try to accept them. There are different season yet to come. More to listen,to learn, to enjoy and to accept. Seasons renew.

Clear vision>>>only sight???

For the times it is hard to focus not only the eyes but the mind. Minutia clouds the thought process. Little problems like plugged sinuses and a persistent cough not only are bothersome but fog logic and reason. Medications also help the mind to wonder in multi disciplined directions. A clear head is truly a blessing allowing to expand your awareness outward to others versus self centered needs. Maybe these hazy times are needed to enjoy the ones that are not!!!!!

Tragedy and Treasure

It is truly the season for both, just listen to the spin around you. The news is filled with joy and sadness.Oh the wonder of being able to drink in, absorb,comprehend,digest the life that surrounds one. Precious moments in time are there to realize I am part of this season and so are you. PEACE

Driving in Ohio in 4 wheel drive

While heading south for the winter on I- 75 The snow started to fall then the rain and sleet. Cars to the right. Cars to the left. Cars on my rear bumper not touching but within inches. Many in the ditch or the median. Semi's unable to go up the exit ramps. The need to hurry is addictive never mind that Mother Nature has her own plan. Time to listen to her, slip the old RAM in 4 wheel and slide to the first exit with lodging it's 11:00 am but thats ok. We are safe from those who try to beat the odds. Time to kick back have a toddy and catch some TV. Schedules are for those who really need them. Thank God we don't.
