to know the way,
we go the way,
we do the way
the way we do
the things we do.
it's all there in front of you,
but if you try to hard to see it,
you'll only become confused.

i am me
and you are you,
as you can see;
but when you do
the things that you can do,
you will find the way,
and the way will follow you...

Non-judgmental behavior

I must say I am having a lovely Monday, just enjoying each moment as it comes, I was shooting some old photographs, for some clients that want retouching, for larger prints, must say I love old photos... long story short I decided since I had the whole production setup I would do some of my own, well this image is of Ruby ( my beagle/bassett hound mix) and me, way back when.
Ok, this is how I feel..the more present to the moment I remain, the less judgmental I become, in my own actions as well as others...

"time"

first it was an idea,
it has evolved into a dream
now it is exciting to just think about
now it is more comfortable;
a job to do
a new skill to practice
a place to be alone
it is a way of centering
an hour
a week
a month
are unimportant here
the only matter of importance
is the task at hand
all the time is present time...

inspiration

inspiration isn't man made, it's a gift from nature.
and when it comes, it creates something original and beautiful....

Mushrooms...the new meat

Just some interesting information out of the Spirituality-Health magazine, pg.31 Jan/Feb issue.
Substituting a four- ounce grilled Portabella mushroom for a four-ounce grilled hamburger over the course of a year saves more than 18,000 calories and nearly 3,000 grams of fat, the equivalent of 30 sticks of butter. Waistlines will benefit-and the environment will, too.

Intersections

Life is full of so many great things....opportinitys, or should I say intersections, having a choice in the direction we want to go, but not knowing the result, the uncertain result is what makes it so great!!
I have finished my health and wellness books, from the library of my naturopathic doc's office, and needed to start something new. Back to my favorite Anais Nin....In favor of the sensitive man and other essays. I read On Truth and Reality last night.
I must quote

{As a women I was fully aware that it was my personal world which was the source of my strength and my psychic energy. The creation of a perfect personal world was the root of my inspiration. So women is concerned with not losing this center, which she knows the value of. Just as the deep-sea diver carries a tank of oxygen, we have to carry the kernel of our individual growth with us into the world in order to withstand the pressures, the shattering pressures of outer experiences. But I never lost sight of their interdependence, and now I find in Dr. Rank the following statement: "Whatever we achieve inwardly will change outer reality."}
