Surfing’s Got This Little Guy’s Seal of Approval

descriptive ~ "Surfer Matthew Stanley captured GoPro footage of a baby seal climbing on his board and playing with him and his friend Andrew Flounders. The two were surfing off the coast of England. In the YouTube video description, Stanley explains: “Me and my friend … were out enjoying some summer waves when this little guy came along and scared the [heck] out of us because we didn’t know what it was! It nudged his foot from underneath.” The young seal seemed determined to surf or at least lay on the board but it kept slipping and sliding off."

Shortened version of posts that unfolded over the course of the day.

I was so inspired by Christine’s latest video on the "The Faces of Avalon" thread, that I not only walked, but did Tai Chi and yoga.

Next, I shopped and prepared a boat load of wholesome foods. Some included: large batches of green drink with baby kale, apple, carrot, sunflower peanut butter and protein powder, and another with carrot, apple, ginger root.

Then I listened to Christine’s video a second time, while I created a collage from photos I snapped. This afternoon, the Weather Gods provided a little bit of everything: blues, and sun, clouds, thunder. I kept watch for a rainbow, but got hail instead.

Then Mother Earth and Father Sky heard the call and manifested a double-rainbow. (The second one is a little hard to see.)

I'm currently sitting in the train station getting ready to board. On my way here I was speeding down rural Missouri roads and hit a wild turkey with my car. My windshield is shattered and the top of my car bent. I feel miserable for killing such a beautiful animal...all because I was rushing and not being mindful.

Just thought I'd share...mindfulness is a good thing to practice in all avenues of life. This poor turkey is now a victim of my anxiety of being late. I'm going to visit my Lady in California...being late would have been a no-no!

If anybody would like to see what hitting a 30+ pound male wild Turkey while driving 65 mph down a rural Missouri road looks like...here you go:

Attachment 26112

The windshield is completely caved in and the roof of the car is bent! Thankfully it is a special type of glass...though there are some glass shards that hit me when it happened...

To continue my wild turkey saga, I have officially had my car towed to the nearest scrap-yard. While it has been sitting, mice have crawled in the engine and chewed up many of the wires. The cost to fix this car would be more than it is worth. Wild Turkeys, mice....what is Mother Nature trying to tell me?

Yesterday, I drove the farm's shared car to the scrap-yard to get some belongings out of my car and finalize paperwork. On my way back to the farm, I nearly hit ANOTHER TURKEY!! This fellow was on the side of the road and decided to fly right in the middle of the road in front of my car just like the previous one. This time I was driving a bit slower and wasn't in a hurry, so I swerved to the right-hand side into the ditch. I nearly hit the turkey, but thankfully, this time I missed and didn't ruin another car.

What can the universe possibly be telling me with the Wild Turkey totem? This is starting to get ridiculous.

In my medicine deck, Turkey is Give-Away. It is about giving oneself to the greater good.

Speaking of service, IIRC Jubal Harshaw was a reformed attorney turned fiction writer, to put the quote from donk into context a little more, that book is on my read-it-multiple-times list.

For the greater good, here's a turkey comic for you Samwise:

I'm very bad with human conventional humor, and therefore, I misunderstood the punch-line/meaning behind this particular comic strip. Could somebody please enlighten me...?

Did Van Gogh really say that? Amazing, especially from his painter's point of view. I catch myself saying so many times: The skies are a zillion paintings in one. Everyday, every moment of the day, it gives a new painting and no painting is exactly the same as a previous one.

It seems that the turkey's opponent is as "bright" as the sheep he'll be lying to.

Hehe I never left ....Theres just soooooooo many things going on in my life and everyone else for tht matter, lol. Time to me seems to be ramping up even more, which can be quite consuming!

Just trying to accomplish the most mundane chores can be a challenge in quickening time!! The ride has become wilder, and the challenges thrown faster and at times in bundles! Its as if im in the middle of an 'invisible storm', Avalon is always in my thoughts and I continue to check in from time to time just do not have as much time to be on the forum as before. However, our HEARTS are always linked--those who are focusing on the same goal for the Earth and inhabitants

Love to everyone <3 <--------------------tht is a sideways heart made with a three and arrow.....I do three because thts what I feel to do--Triple Love :D

Well, all of that is good news. I suppose it is what they call the quickening.
Once you are growing the challenges come faster than ever, but also go away at that same rate.
Zipping up the cosmic elevator, stopping at each level briefly to have a quick glance, then up to the next one.
When you get to my age the biggest challenge is to do with memory, but I'm sorting that out now as well.
The interesting part is to see how many things I can remember vividly and clearly, and how those pieces fit in with my overall soul agenda. It's the everyday worldly bits I am struggling with, like certain people's names.

No particular connection or point to the strip. Just a random joke. The only correlation was that it involved a turkey. However, just the idea of a turkey and a chicken talking politics was funny enough for me to laugh at....

But I still don't understand the joke. What does the punch-line mean and why is it supposed to be funny? I'm just curious as I'm so bad with jokes!

*shakes head, muttering*

Chicks is the punchline. A double meaning, as it is a rooster who says it, and the word chick is also slang for woman. So, the rooster is saying he does all this to get women, basically. So, what kind of humor do you get, if not the conventional human type?

*walks away, still muttering*

Hmmm...I thought there was more to it. I understood the use of the pun of "chicks" as a two-fold meaning...but I've never heard of a politician running for office to attract women, which is what confused me. Mother Culture sure has her way with words...

and why is it supposed to be funny?

Why is it suppose to be funny? Cuz, the sky's blue. Cuz, there's blue M&M's. Cuz, the sun took a soda break. Cuz, you chew your food before you swallow. Cuz, you put your socks on before your shoes. Cuz, you don't put your left shoe on your right foot. Cuz, giraffes prefer scarfs and ant eaters prefer nose warmers. Cuz, you duck when a pie's tossed, or run for the whip cream. Cuz, you only wear socks with holes in the heels on Fridays. Cuz, you don't wear a hat in the shower unless it's a cap. Cuz, bologna and cheese goes in the inside. Cuz, ants prefer nuts to peanut butter.
