Swirling Colors

Last night I read the Wee One a book about a tractor, a little calf and a bull surviving a tornado by the kindness and action of one big-hearted tractor (Otis). :)  That tornado was black and gray and the pictures showed vast destruction after it passed through.  The image of the animals and the tractor gathered together with eyes closed in a low muddy river bed to wait out the storm was beautiful.  Each individual was as close as possible to the group to be safe from the winds above.  The giant bull was next to the small geese and sheep and all looked peaceful wedged between two brown sections of earth.

No relation to post, but I LOVED this couple at the Fair. :)
Today I had my own tornado of sorts.  My tornado was more of a friendly swirl of bright colors.  This swirl was more about opportunities rather than destruction.  You see there are many things that I want to do in life.  I can't believe all the things that catch my eye and I want to explore more.  Sometimes I get so many interests (all the bright colors) that the possiblities just swirl in my mind.  Thankfully the swirling motion was slow and not frenzied.

With limitless options, I must go for a walk and ask for direction and focus.  Movement seems to be my best procsessing method.  I realized recently that my efforts in athletics in my youth was my way to process emotion by diverting it into phsyical exertion.  It worked for me then and it works for me now.  Thank you body for providing this expression vehicle!  VROOM VROOM!  EE

What Does Your Fun Look Like?

I was listening to an interview of Allison Armstrong yesterday.. she's a woman who's studied men for 20 years and how women can better relate to them.  She had an interesting topic:  "What does your fun look like?"  And she talked about it by illustrating how different 'types' respond to this scenario: A friend comes to you and tells you 'I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.' What's your response to this?  Mine was 'COOL'! :)  Which I later came to know was the response of an 'Enjoyer'. :)  Her other types were 'Builder', 'Sharer', 'Expresser', and 'Growers and Knowers'. A Builder would respond with something like 'Why would you be learning this?  When will you use it?'  An Enjoyer (me) would respond like 'Sounds like fun!'.  A Sharer would respond with something like 'With whom are you doing that?'.  An Expresser might respond: "What do you want to say in Mandarin?&qu

What do I want to BE? What do I want to DO?

 AH HA I just remembered you today - lovely blogita.   It seems I missed 2021 in my blog posts, but here we are in 2022 - so nice and even.  This year is going to have at least one post.  So here goes: Second day post-termination thoughts:  I have so much time!  I could start a project.  I could read The Brothers Karamazov as I have been meaning to do.  I could clean (you can always clean), but that may go against my newer found philosophy of 'It's Better Than it Was'.... which is doing some to mitigate the mess, but not worrying about perfection. I had an interview yesterday.  That was weird.... just the getting up and getting dressed and leaving the house for a work appointment.  I had fun.  I like people.  I got lost.  I talked to the ceiling/heaven.  I laughed.  I used a parable in my answer.  Gees... where did that come from?  Heaven maybe? :) Tis time to shower.... I'm a bit oiled up after a 90 min massage that cost $189.  That's bloated.  I felt like the ther

Cycle of Downturns - a Poem

I'm noticing for you because I can feel it. which is kind of the point, You can't. This is where I retreat. I am not here to do your work. What is the loving response? Only you know what's there to transform. This is cycle number three. No change has disrupted the relapse. You are not present. You have receded into hiding. Here I am telling you what you need to do. It feels icky and uneven. Perspectives can be so far apart. I know I can't remain. <3 EE
