died

sleep is evading any attempt to be caught

there is no rest for the weary...
or the wicked
or the washed-out
or the wasted
or the weird
or the wired

a good read...

now those of you who know me

<< & judging from the counter at the bottom of my blog there ain't that many of ya' out there... & that's ok.... keeps this personal>>

you know that I'm a bit eceletic in many things...
so bearing that in mind...
I do recommend the book
(I haven't seen the movie so can't speak to that...)
The Da Vinci Code

a good bit of history
a good bit of mystery
and a good bit of thought provoking reading....
(you know the kind ... the "I gotta' goggle that reference" or your head will rattle it around for days kind of reading)

it is interesting...

and I will NOT have any discussion about any religious issues as this is a novel, a story, one view of parts of a puzzle

I believe very firmly in puzzles
we have a brain to use
& we should
for our selves
whether it be a crossword
mah jong
sodoku
or playstation....

think &
read &
realize that stories of all sorts are often shaded by bits of the truth

simple joys

To find the universal elements enough;

to find the air and the water exhilarating;

to be refreshed by a morning walk
or an evening saunter;

to be thrilled by the stars at night;

to be elated over a bird's nest
or a wildflower in spring

these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

pause

have you ever needed to pause

~~~

to take a moment to breathe

~~~

to have a personal "time-out"

~~~

it's been one of those times for me

~~~

everyday has felt so maniac

~~~

so overwhelming

~~~

so much

~~~

that a pause was the thing

~~~

may you find a pause for yourself when you need it

~~~

and recognize that need to pause

By design,
the world is in a state of perpetual change.
Only God knows what you ask.
All a person can know is themself,
and only then if they are honest
and reflective
and willing to strip away self deception.

I saw this statement in one of my e-news letters and felt that it was most appropriate for where I am right now, personally & professionally.

There is a tendancy to deny and ignore that which is most uncomfortable within ourselves and to pratice honest self-reflection is a challenge.

To really truly grow as a human we are challanged by god/dess to look at ourselved in an honest manner & strip away the negatives:

negative self-image

negative health habits

negative inter-personal habits

It's a long walk but the journey is well worth the effort.
