catching up
It’s been a while since I posted here. Here are some random bits I’ve written over the past week, as a placeholder until I write more. It’s been a busy time. Transformational. Big. Hoo-ha!

The grey skies continue to dump their load between bouts of sunshine, and being so weather-centric in my mood is making me feel schizophrenic. Happy? Sad? The negative ion count is oscillating and so am I.
It’s not so bad. Life feels more natural that way, connected to the real world of nature, the cycles of seasons and weather, even though I view the wind and rain from the quiet side of the picture window. I can imagine that I am out there, though the experience exists only in my mind and memories of actually being there. This is better.

Summer Solstice begins the countdown to the year 2012, significant in New-Age circles for various reasons. If you count the days from June 21, 2007 until January 1, 2012, it comes to 2,012 days. I don’t know what it means, but it’s cool.
This is the shortest day of the year
The hours of daylight at maximum
Now, we open the gate to transformation
Dance, sing, play, celebrating
The changes in the world
but first we go through our
Own kaleidoscopic unfoldings
Sweet and bitter, cycling in and out
Pleasure and pain, heartbreak and joy,
Love and isolation.
Life rocks.

I like the word ‘thrill’. It sounds like its meaning, a frilly, fluttering feeling that ripples through the flesh as it is spoken. Life lately is one thrill after another. Even the quiet moments contain depth and vastness, opening more and deeper as I expand myself to notice.
Life feels wonderful these days.The smallest things cause me to grin in goofy gratefulness. Synchronicities, minor and major, are becoming commonplace. I’ll think of something I need, then realize it’s in my pocket, though I don’t remember putting it there. More than once. Little things are adding up to make big things which all fit together in meaningful ways. My life is integrating. Praise is radiating my way from unexpected directions. God is proving Themself to me, skeptical brain is surrendering. Though my fuzzy-minded mystic self has predominated, still the skeptical part of my mind has been rigidly resistant. That’s melting now. Damn, it’s working!
I thrill to the knowledge of self-as-God, God-as-All reflecting back to me-as-self, as Dr. Bronner would say, All-One-God. The old soap guy knew things. We each are a religion of one. Each of us approaches the Infinite from a different angle and perceives it in a different light, whatever we want to call it.
Call it ‘the human spirit’ if you want to label yourself an atheist.
“Here we are now.” Yea and hurray!
