You are the last of the Vashonistas for me to get to know. As I was the one person invited to the weekend that declined, I have wanted to get acquainted with all of you who I didn't already follow.<br />In reading this post I see that I missed meeting an amazing person. What's oddly coincidental is that it is 2:00AM. I'm sitting in my recliner with the cat happily sleeping on my lap, welcoming the unusual night time company, and sharing my lap with my lap top. I could not sleep. I've had a lot of trouble sleeping this week. Insomnia seems to come in waves. But fortunately I am a retired teacher so I no longer have to be ready to perform magic in the morning. <br />I hope by now the September surge in brain activity has calmed and you are sleeping better. <br />I'll be looking forward to your future postings.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-11631507100882922702012-10-11T13:24:59.167-07:002012-10-11T13:24:59.167-07:00Hi, I came over from Retired English Teacher's...Hi, I came over from Retired English Teacher's blog, where she wrote about meeting you in person.

I love those moments when things are made clear. We don't get as many deer in our garden as we did before we put up the railings at the bottom. I once planted several pots of geraniums in readiness for a garden party the next day. I admired the gorgeous blooms in their pots before bed and woke to find every head nibbled off and a family of deer, three or four in all, high-tailing it over the back fence. I had to admire their audacity. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-12024493740526156582012-09-14T16:40:59.185-07:002012-09-14T16:40:59.185-07:00As always a lovely post.

The author says that we need to learn that we are not those thoughts - simply the observer of them. The witness. And, as such, when we think there is a problem, we ought to not assume it's true, but rather ask the question, "what part of me thinks this is a problem?"<br /><br />Sounds like Nature intervened in your thoughts to draw you away and remind you you are the observer. What a lovely way she had of doing it. <br /><br />Love.kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-69474620241371856752012-09-09T12:23:34.449-07:002012-09-09T12:23:34.449-07:00It's amazing what goes on while we sleep!

A true living in the moment and receiving with open palms the gift being given. You know, your posts always inspire me. They provoke me into long thoughts about Mystery and how it lives itself out in our lives. That's no small thing, that your writing lifts my spirits and uplifts my mind and heart. <br /><br />Long ago, a psychiatrist encouraged me to be "gracious" to myself. I think the words you quoted were saying the same thing. Thank you.
