Namaste Sweetie,

Happy Thor's Day

I am really glad you are here with me today

Today. I am celebrating the end of summer

As summer winds down

The leaves begin to fall

A crispy nip enters the air as

Football begins its season

While I am sad to see the summer go

The arrival of autumn is a joyous time

One thing we notice is the fields turn

From Green to Gold

And that is our theme today

The Fields of Gold

I hope you will enjoy your visit

No post until Tuesday, September 4th 

I'm taking a 4-Day Romantic Weekend with myself

Saturday is the beginning of the football season

My Razorbacks play at 3 PM Central

On the SEC Network

I can't wait

And I can't wait to see all the games

I love it so much

And the season is so short

I want to savor every bit of it

I've even saved a portion of my Phamous Chili

To eat as the season kicks off

I wish you a beautiful day

And a phabulous weekend, my Friend

See you in September!

Let us continue to promote

Peace and Love,

I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer

Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings

Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind

And focus on the here and now

This present moment

Now

Breathe in

Filling your being with peace and love

As you begin each line, breathe out slowly

Breathing these thoughts into the world

Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love

Sending them from your heart

Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings

Breathe in and repeat the process for each line

The Dew Drop 

by Peter Hughes  

   

"As the sun rose, a dew drop became aware of its surroundings. There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight and throwing it back out. Proud of its simple beauty, it was very content. Around it were other dew drops, some on the same leaf and some on other leaves round about. The dew drop was sure that it was the best, the most special dew drop of them all.

Ah, it was good to be a dew drop.

The wind rose and the plant began to shake, tipping the leaf. Terror gripped the dew drop as gravity pulled it towards the edge of the leaf, towards the unknown. Why? Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?

The dew drop reached the edge of the leaf. It was terrified, certain that it would be smashed into a thousand pieces below, sure that this was the end. The day had only just begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried desperately to do whatever it could to cling to the leaf, but it was no use.

Finally, it let go, surrendering to the pull of gravity. Down, down it fell. Below there seemed to be a mirror. A reflection of itself seemed to be coming up to meet the dew drop. Closer and closer they came together until finally...

And then the fear transformed into deep joy as the tiny dew drop merged with the vastness that was the pond. Now the dew drop was no more, but it was not destroyed.

It had become one with the whole."

Namaste Sweetie,

Happy Hump Day!

Woo Hoo!

I'm so happy you are here with me

I KNOW you are as excited as I am

Only THREE more days to the start of the

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON

WOO PIG! SOOIE!

I do need to remind you to keep calm

Don't get too excited just yet

Save some for the games!

:  )

Ah, I can't wait to see my Razorbacks

We ain't gonna be great

But I am hopeful we will be better

Our new coach has been phenomenal in the off-season

If he is as good during the season

We are in for a Woo PIG! Fun Ride

It may take a year or two

But I am optimistic he will help get us better

I hope you will enjoy your visit

I wish you a Super Lovely Day!

Let us continue to promote

“Loneliness is the poverty of self; 

solitude is richness of self.”

“I hold this to be the highest task 

of a bond between two people: 

that each should stand guard 

over the solitude of the other.”

~Rainer Maria Rilke, 

(Letters to a Young Poet)

“A man can be himself 

only so long as he is alone; 

and if he does not love solitude, 

he will not love freedom; 

for it is only when he is alone 

that he is really free.”

“I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, 

but delicious in the years of maturity.”
