so I bought a new car...

Or rather the equivalent of one, by choosing to buy, not one, but 2 new heating and air conditioning systems for my home. Ok, so not quite the same cost of a new car, but close, and I'll be making month payment on them for nearly as long as they are under warranty...

Attuned to Autumn October 21, 2012

"Be fallow, turned into fertile ground"
Dedicated to those who are struggling yet still...
Enjoying THIS day
Finished reading A Mystic Garden by Gunilla Norris

"Make your own choice"
Now... Next things Next
"Overdose of practical considerations" ~ Eugene O'Neill
Passionate Play
Quab : to throb; to quiver; something unfinished or immature; unfledged bird
"Revelation of my own love seemed to open my eyes to the love of others" ~ Eugene O'Neill


"Surrendered openness"

"The beds seem barren. But I know lying fallow is different from doing nothing... ceasing of doing... is a kind of doing as well ... dynamic nakedness ... a radical placement of trust ... remain open to the mystery that made us... It requires emptiness ... It requires everything" (94).
Undecided...
Verizon store today??
"...willing, imitate the vast permission that is God's love" (95).

"YOLO" does not mean "I ONLY LIVE ONCE, I SHOULD DO STUPID THINGS AND THIS WILL BE MY EXCUSE!!" It means "You only live once, so you shouldn't waste your time doing stupid things. Do things that matter, because you can't go back and fix your mistakes." ~ EKM

It's a new day....and I'm feeling ...

I began this post very early Thursday morning when I woke with this song playing in my head.


Alive, Alert Awake ... Adjusted
Blessed
Crazed and Cluttered
Discombobulated but Determined
Enthusiastic
Frenzied
Grateful for ALL the people who have touched my life
How do ...
I ...
Just do "it" with "it" being everything thing on my "to do" list
Kindred spirits
Lucky
Muddled
Needy
Overwhelmed or One thing at a time?
Priorities Please
Queashy
Ready for
Sleepy and Sad
Tired and Teary
Uninspired Ugh or rather U.G.H. Unbelievably Good, Huh? Thanks to Antoinette
Vulnerable
What a mish mashed mess of feeling huh? So now you see why it to a couple extra days for me to post this :)

Cleaning up p. 92 of A Mystic Garden
Doing another redo ---------------
Everything can change in a split second...
For me, one of those times was simply,
Going to pick up my kid from Roleplay club...
Happened right in front of Cary High School.
I had to swerve to not hit someone who made an illegal left turn and pulled out in front of me and
Just (ps. turns out - this day, October 17th, is Julie's Birthday)
Kept right on going.
Luckily, two kind drivers saw what happened and stopped to see if I was ok...
Moving off of the Median, I
Next Need to get my kid and then
Off to AAA Car Care to see if I could get someone at look at it before they closed at 6pm.
Perhaps the very best thing about this incident was how calm my kid was,
Quietly and peacefully
Reminding me....



Turned out, I sheared the screws off of my Transmission fluid pan.
Undercarriage of our
Vehicle sits Very low :(
What next? Find a ride home, and a car to drive? Thank you, Julie.
less eXpensive fiX than I would have guessed, but have to find the part.
Yes, we are blessed, and that night, we really needed

A Mystic Garden: Working with Soil, Attending to Soul

Autumn is a ripeness, an urgency to complete.
Bear fruit for life itself...
Can be felt as the greatest fruit... Centered in deep Conviction...
Discover who we essentially are... Divine freedom that lets life live us...
Evolve without force.
Fulfillment demands that we let go.
Go to fruit and seed. Give to the future
How amazing to sense oneself rooted in dynamic and Holy leisure
Intention
Joy of completion blazes in every direction... Join the Joy!
Kindred Spirts
Let go... Let Life Live us... Let what is happening happen!
Muchness
Now the leaves are turning...
Our lives, too, must be allowed to mature... Open to an expectation
Plants in the garden are giving their all
Qualia Principles: The Foundation For A Science Of Consciousness source
Ripeness
Stems and leaves Surrender their energy to fruiting
Tawny or burning red and bright with gold... Trust infinte Timing
Urgency to complete... Unknowing again
Vegetable garden is full, full, full
We bear fruit to life itself... what needs to happen is occuring
eXpectation without intention
You are invited.
Zucchini is going...
Note: Nearly every word of this ABC list came from just a few pages (81-85)
