“Yang” was one of my focusing words yesterday. In Chinese philosophy it is the active principle of the universe, characterized as heaven, male, light and penetrating. Well the weather yesterday may have been all that and more. The high yesterday was about 25C and for late October it was amazing!! I did a 2 mile […]
I may suffer from Xenophobia and don’t know it – but I don’t think so. I remember the first time I had to transfer money into someone’s bank account in South Korea for an order of shell buttons. I transferred an amount that I felt I could just “lose” in the leap to do some
“W’s” are interesting characters. They look like 2 “V’s” merged. Does that mean that they are twice as emphatic as “V’s”? The Latin alphabet had no “W’s.” So I guess in a sense they are hybrids. However, classical Latin, not church Latin, pronounced all the “V’s” as “W’s” – as in Weni, Widi, Wicti, which
Monday itself might have been the “victorious” in my focusing exercise. It was a glorious day 18 degrees C, sunny, full of Fall colours. I just soaked it up. It was a vivacious “in your face” kind of day and I didn’t mind at all!! My daughter called too with her “victory.” She has a
Rain is tangible. Very wet leotards clinging to sodden thighs is tangible. I feel as though I am about to write a Gothic novella or something; but then I realized that I used the word “leotard.” Nobody uses that word anymore, unless you’re a member of the National Ballet and even then maybe not. So
Sanctity was one of my focusing words yesterday. Maybe I should have chosen sanity too. I have started to build a website in wordpress. I know that building a blog in WP is easy and that’s where it ends!! A website is quite a different matter!! There was nothing holy about it and by the
……and back again. The “radical” in yesterday may have been a dinner conversation with our 19-year- old. It started like this. Nick (19-year-old), “Serge (a friend) said that there were more moves in Chess than there were electrons on Earth.” Parents, “Really (in unison).” Nick, “Also did you know that if you took all the
Maybe not so. I have another blog and website which sits on a back burner, because I have plans for it later. Well the webmaster that created and hosts the site has never got it right. Last night I exploded!! The same problems were there again with pdf downloads from the site. If I could
Here are some of the focusing words from the blog that I have been following: J – Jovial, Jacked, Justice K – Kinetic, Kind, Kalon L – Light, Laughter, Loving M & N – do not have a post as yet – or I can’t find it. O – Oneness, Ovation, Orbital I understand that
Samhain cometh – Oct 31/Nov1. Samhain is the last of the four significant days that mark the changing of the seasons in Celtic Mythology. It marks the end of the lighter half of the year and the beginning of the darker. It is considered a time of great communication with the “otherworld” – the world
