Well, I am working at putting into practice something Eckart Tolle recommends in his most recent book, "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose." Instead of bemoaning an activity you do not enjoy, become fully present to it. If you are fully engaged, there is no room for complaints.
So, when I visited Mom this morning, I worked on being fully there, rather than splitting myself into the participant and the commentator/criticizer/frustrated daughter. This helped somewhat. More practice is necessary.
Mystical experiences, yearnings, politics, little dramas, poetry, kidney dialysis, insulin-dependent diabetes, and opportunities for gratitude.

A Good One From George
Here's a recent quote from George W.
"Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century." - George W Bush, August 15, 2008
Unbelievable! Does this man spend even two seconds a day in self-reflection?

- Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.
