    By Ted Grussing

    … February is fading and March is coming, spring arrives in not that long, Iris will be emerging from the soil and let loose an unbelievable display of beauty for a few short weeks. Last year I got a few nice shots including this one of a beauty in my neighbors yard. Did I play with this photo? Sure did, and I kinda like it … a wonderful world albeit it a very temporary world … but then again our “real world” is a very temporary world based on another scale of time. When I was a kid and thinking on the Big Bang theory I used to wonder if when we sent up beautiful firework displays, if millions of little worlds formed, had life forms develop on them and cycle through all of evolution before being extinguished in milliseconds.  It seems like that to us, but perhaps our own universe’s existence is as limited to an outside intelligence who just set off it’s own fireworks display … just saying … because our life spans are so short it seems like everything is forever, but it is not.

    A nice day today, busy and productive and wrapping up a project for some friends moving back to Arizona … always a fun thing. Down to the valley tomorrow and again on Friday for more projects. Need to checkout Lake Pleasant whilst Prescott basks in cold and water I don’t want to wade in … till late spring. More work on the gem stuff this week too and need to finish old projects up.

    My new breakfast habit is wonderful and a good reason to wake up every morning … extra thick crispy bacon on top of peanut butter which is on top of butter which is on top of Rosemary Flat bread … washed down with a minimum of 12 oz of espresso and a few oz of steam frothed milk. The bacon, which I get at Basha’s butcher shop weighs almost a quarter pound per strip … and the house has that sweet bacon smell for hours. My daughters continue to send me info on really good health foods so that I can live to be old … and healthy … my concept of healthy food is something like chocolate covered strawberries … or blueberries and raspberries on top of Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream which is on top of cereal which has milk and pure maple syrup poured on top of it all.

    Time for a wrap of the day and hope your day was good and share the joy you find in life … a smile is a terrific way to do it.

    Cheers

    Ted

    O sweet content! Where is they mild abode
    Where I may dwell in endless peace?
    Show me the much-sought road
    And give the lease.

    The answer came, “Then cease to vainly roam
    In search of me, for though wilt find
    My quiet hidden home
    Within thy mind.”

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
