Yesterday it rained – all day and today it’s still raining and it is forecast to rain until Thursday. Well yesterday I moped around until about 3:00pm because I couldn’t get out – I know I could, but I would get wet and I’m a whimp!! Finally, I decided that I really had to make […]
Maybe one of my focusing words yesterday also should have been “Zen,” then I would have accepted the day for what it was and found something positive in it. Well in spite of the cold and the grey, I was able to get out to pick up something very zesty for lunch at one of
“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
Today made up for yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day, almost warm, with a breeze. People were in shirt sleeves or light jackets. There was no need to bundle up. It was an unfettered day. We were not constrained by time either. We didn’t have to be here or there by this hour or
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
