Greetings from Hamburg.

Yes it's been a rough week, work wise. Weekend to myself. Planning to find spot for contemplation and gratitude. The weather has been kind considering summer has been, for the majority, m.i.a.

The moon was GORGEOUS last night. Wished I knew how to post pics from phone-to-iPad.

WELCOME MITZVAH!!

To the lamp of love:  may it burn brightest in the darkest hours and never flicker in the winds of trial.  ~Author Unknown

Wish I was there with you now.
If you are not using iCloud the other alternative would be to email the picture to yourself, then open it in your iPads Email account and save it to photos.

Whoa. Call in Bungalow Bill. Zap! Right between the eyes.

She would say let them eat cake, but she clearly ate it all. This woman manages to fill in a few definitions of p*g. See that look on her face? Somebody in that room is flashing food.

I'm done now.

Here and now, I am reflecting on my yesterday. I had to travel to north MS, City of Ashland, as referred to in the dream I wrote about previously in the Village this week. Traveling south between New Albany and Pontotoc on a road that I have never previously traveled, I saw a sign for an Indian Mound named Ingomar. Of course!, I detoured and went to see it. A short drive took me to the Ingomar Indian Mound! In the picture below, the mound is the mass of rising trees you see. It's about 30 feet high and has a large circumference, and dates back about 2,000 years. When I climbed to the top I was astonished to see, much to my delight, my favorite tree (along with the Catalpa and Magnolia - God I love them all!!!), growing en masse: there was a stand of many old bois d'arcs trees, or Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera). I sat and meditated with the winds of the tropical storm Isaac dancing through the tree boughs and the rain splattering down. I was immensely grateful and thankful to have that experience put in my path during my work day. Life is good, I thank the Creator for everything, and I have NO complaints!

Welcome to the Village Mitzvah!

Stuff like this used to happen on our farm, interrupting my flow.
Huge drama, getting those trapped animals out of there.

So there was a therapeutic moment for me when I saw this picture just now...
made me have my first larf of the day.

Cow is saying:
"AHAHAHA! This guy's an idiot. Quick, get a picture!"



...and here is my second chuckle of the day:

[benevolentcrow]

Good morning Villagers. FYI I typed in a couple of words that were used in a previous post in a search I was doing, and up popped my post on Project Avalon. I thought it a little unsettling that if you are privately associated with a couple of words publically there is that strong obvious connection. Not that it matters where I am concerned but it could for some. I guess you put yourself out there everyone time a post is made. Just makes you realize how strong words are.

On another note. I have had my grandsons for 4 days now. I have felt like they should be placed in a bubble to protect them from harm. I wanted no broken limbs or other injuries to happen to them. One is severely allergic to mosquito and spider bites. Epi pen close by for an emergency, thankful I did not have to use it. A fine line to be walked when to let them be kids and when to intervene in certain activities. Lorax, Chicken Little, movies were a safe choice for me. I was told by there mother not to let them go in the bushes or dig holes etc. I thought that was what they were suppose to do, must be that generation gap again. Oh well, their other set of grandparents get to take over today. Thankful nothing major happen on my watch!

Have a wonderful weekend, I can breath a sigh of relief!

last n ight i set up my brothers telescope and looked at the moon.

very funny to see what appear to be craters and leading out of them are what appear to be great run ways or roads and they also leave the crater is equelaterla intervals. one of which has 3 major road ways eqilaterally angled from the circle outward to make a triangle. its amazing how even a rock hitting the sufrface of a planet can spread debree in perfect angles and lines .... hmmm

i love this stuff , i was up till 3 am .. love it

September 1st, do you believe it? Where did the summer go...

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, I had to google that. What a great Prayer! Thanks for learning me something Eaglespirit!

[dan33]

I'm sad.
Hugo in hospital again.We discovered yesterday that is anorexic (also have the Helicobacter in the stomach). He told us (he is my gilfriend's son, 12 years old) crying after discovering bags full of food in the cupboard .. Very shocking, indeed. Now he is becoming to gaining weight again. Very slowly.

Any ray of energy is welcome. Thanks!

[Marianne]

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin. Beautiful, indeed. Thanks Eaglespirit ... I have to put the whole prayer up.

The Prayer

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin....All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer....

To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.

To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.

To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.

To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.

To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.

To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages, I thank you.

To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.

You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.

Thank you for this Life.

Daniel, sending loving energy to Hugo. My niece had anorexia and was recovering from it the summer she came to stay with us. She made a full recovery, is happily married with two beautiful children now.
Blessings to all the family. All is well.

Hello to all my new friends! I feel as though I already know, and fondly so, many of you through my SweetHeart, 'Another Bob.' Thank you so much for such a warm and kind welcome to your village forum. I look happily forward to sharing with you, and learning with, and from, all of you, through all that this wonderfully mysterious and amazing world has to offer.

Would be worth to put in a thread about psychopaths...

Today I drove my teenager to her new (1 month, although at this age it is old) boyfriend's mother's place for a "épluchette de blé d'Inde" corn on the cob day or something like this in English.

She was veeeery happyyyy because she had not seen him all week, school activities stopping the possibilities for her to meet him (he lives a bit far, in fact across a bridge).

I am so happy to see her glowing like this. The 17 years old boy friend is a nice chap, he really has some aura coming out. Quiet, intelligent looking, bit funny somewhat handsome and still looking at her with sparkling - eyes. She says he is a geek, but she truly feel fine with him. I am wondering if some day I will dislike him cause he hurt my daughter... hum.

I am starting to feel older... and know that now I have to start taking care of myself a bit more, she will ge gone in a few years (hopefully five or more).

Love your cow picture and the teen pregnancy gene Ulli, the latter never really quit my mind these days - lol.

Welcome Mitzvah, it will be nice to see/read the "other side" of a poet's life. I am pretty sure you are quite an inspiration to him and will be to us.

(flash said) I am starting to feel older...

Filling my day...



Hi Mitzvah! Loved A-Bob's pictures of your puree popsicles! I could use one of those right now

Much Love,

<bursting out laughing> So many odd results in our universe heh Nanoo?


Dan: I'm so sorry to hear Hugh has trouble with anorexia and helicobacter. If he is slowly gaining weight, he is beating the anorexia, and slow gains are good, more permanent I somehow think. Slow and easy does it with anorexia. The symptoms of helicobacter do not sound pleasant. I kinda wonder if the anexoria was an attempt to deal with the helicobacter. Healing and love to Hugh.

EagleSpirit: The garage is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

ViralSpiral: So glad to see you! Rest and recuperate from your hard week ... <dragging VS over to the Village healing pool, getting a glass of wine, three candles, five kitties, and seven villagers to start the party>

<trotting after Meeradas and Marianne also back at work ... >

Rahkyt: SUCH beautiful children. I woke up and encouraged Noah three times

Ulli: Sending lines of peace and calm to the storm.

The Chips fire (the last I heard) is ninety percent contained (yay!). The air is clearer, the temperature dropped yesterday and today, and I think that helped.

My sister is coming over for dinner this evening. It is SO cool we are living in the same town. She literally only has to travel ten minutes, make three turns in total enroute, and she is home. No more traveling over Blood Alley (Highway 17 over the Santa Cruz mountains) to see each other.

The moon begins to travel back to where it can be seen from the deck. I was stunned at the moon set the other night, stars in a clear sky, dawn coming, blood red moon setting between the trees.

I am so grateful for EVERYTHING. I have no complaints.

Come on in Nickolai, and welcome to the Here and Now Family!

FYI: I've put out a welcome mat for someone that may pop in. I wanted Nickolai to feel at home. I said that this is the place for 'chicken soul for the soul', and fun and healing and music and ...

I've been thinking about responding to this. Specifically, about how the magnification is related to the eye's capacity to see detail....and that detail is a combination of what both eyes see, not one.

Thus,it is critical to get a 'binocular head' for telescopes,as the apparent detail to the brain and eye combination seems to near double. this is because the eye sees by wandering about just a bit and the detail is constructed via information coming from both eyes, over time.

Thus, using both eyes, not just one, is critical. As well, when we use just one eye, that eye has to sort of transpose for both hemispheres of the mind/brain. There is a slight tendency for each eye to be cross wired for the opposing hemisphere of the brain. Slight, but it is there. Thus, the result, with regard to brain/eye processing of information.... as if you had double the resolution, if one uses a binocular head on a telescope.

A bit frazzled right now, 12 major transits at once. Probably a few more, I'd have to look.... Kinda feel like Bill looks...
