Your post was beautiful Nora. I had something like that knocking around in me, but I am feeling a little knocked around today and could not form the words. Such strength and dignity, Nora.

ah, and
Lionel Richie reminded me of
this Stevie Wonder Video:

I always wondered... what is this thing that appears around 00:45??
The thing they use as a projection screen.
To me, it looks like a slice of wholewheat bread that's way too thick.
I always 'kind of hated' the director of that video for this...

About that wholewheat bread...I agree totally.
Bad art always has the same effect on me.
This is a good example of what happens when inspiration is blocked
due to excess fascination with the latest gimmicks and features that a new software provides.
Then added to that the deadlines these people have to work under....
typical unfinished video. My 2 centimos.

No matter how engrossed I am in 3D activities, I still feel detached. I'm wondering if I have entered an unhealthy world of detachment or a spiritual world of calm. I can't say I really would like to feel more grounded if that means engrossed in the sludge. All the emotional upheaval of times past...somehow when I think of being more grounded that is what it seems like that would feel like. That's not real appealing lol.

To me..being grounded might look a bit like dealing with all the 3d stuff without it dragging you down at all. No effort to slough it off is required,as it no longer has any effect upon one. Meaning, reactions are nearly non -existent. not in a forced way, but a natural way. figuring out how is key. peeling back one corner is the start but it is also 'the way'. So it is impossible, in some ways, to separate the journey there from the act of seeking it in a knowing/aware fashion.

Odd night for me woke up around 4:00 am out of the void and out of a very deep sleep -a lot of light around me like rays of moonlight.

Thank goodness for coffee. This morning worked with a guy, who will not budge move or go within.....Ugh sometimes feel like I am failing him.....

Am going through the Lithium thread and grateful for Here and Now -and listening to this.

My family can stir up more in me than I care to admit. I don't play in their sandbox very often either.....
I do not have a very close relationship with my sister -I had to change directions with her
My father too, aunts, uncles and a couple of my grandparents.
They watch Fox news, TV programs......., talk loudly.....etc and do the racial slur thing too..... this is just some of the societal issue....
do I judge them? sometimes; do I wish they would at least try to change their proogramming? yes. If I wait around for acceptance or (agreements to my view points) from them I might turn into an old lady. I don't try to convince them of anything.... sometimes I have to go in through a side door or create a doorway..... just like in this thread it has created a lot of doorways for me.....
and my brother lost, in a psychotropic rabbit hole -brilliant mind and musician and he makes the most sense out of all them.... really.....I am probably the closest to him and don't talk to him very often....

I love them all very much -we're all on different planes.....

Quite a few years ago, I moved to the southern midwest of the states for a job. I was standing on a sidewalk outside of a cafe with a few of the local people.... and an elderly man walked inside, got a cup of coffee and came back outside and sat down at one of the tables. He seemed pretty harmless enough so I went over to talk with him. I was new to the area thought it would be good to socialize and get to know the area a little and the people. While I was standing there talking with the elderly gentlemen about the town and some of his life there, someone came over and grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the man and asked me what I was doing. I said what do you mean what I am doing? He said what are you doing talking to them kind? and said what do you mean them kind as I am looking around; looking for what he was talking about. So he pointed to the elderly man I was talking to. I finally figured out that he was referring to the man's ethnicity. My reply to him was, "Please forgive my ignorance, I am from California" and walked back over to the elderly man and sat down at his table. Had a great conversation.

With a predominantly white background and from the North (limited ethnic types), I never encountered racism until I was....about 10 or maybe 11-12. I'd never heard of or understood the concept.

when I did, I was REALLY Po'd. And confused. I knew people were different yes, but mostly due to their upbringings, households, their way of life. Whatever. But to go after their...physical origins. Well. it was all very confusing, sad, and angering.

Yes you are aging gracefully. I know a thing or two about that subject.

Angular moon today. quarter moon. Emotions can be 'square' to the intent or interpretation. Thankfully, not all that loud. Just...off. (depends on the other astrological modifiers)

Thank you Modwiz and concern for you for you are my favorite wizard.

Had a dream the other night that everyone's Avatars in the village turned into water.

Changes in Avatars -pretty cute -I might change mine to an ocean wave in appreciation of Neptune.

Was a Van Morrison MoonDance morning. and These are the Days evening for me.
