(this was typed last night in 'word' which accounts for the capitalization.....no i still can't reach the shift key well......word does the capitals automatically)
How about life paths?
I kinda figure folks are where they are supposed to be at any given moment…….
This isn’t a predestined thing by any means
I do feel there is a plan to it all, in spite of the evidence that the universe is being run by chickens……….MY chickens apparently, Larry, Moe and Curly the roosters
( watch now…we got a NEW generation of roosters coming up …..but they are going in the freezer)
I also figure that if you follow along with that sort of reasoning……
There is no reason to envy anyone anything
And also there is no reason for jealousy
( although I will occasionally confess to produce envy……when I can’t get sweet peppers cheap and the garden ones are a bust)
I suppose this all goes along with reflecting and assessing where you are in your life RIGHT NOW.
And trying to pick up the threads and follow them to see if there is an overall theme
It does seem like the time of year for it doesn’t it
And in light of a poor economy, more then just me will be thinking this deeply
I still desperately want my farm and my animals home
I am so worried about them, I wake up at night thinking of them
I am, - I would imagine a hair closer,
as we are paying down the mortgage here…….and finally fixing the house up
I realized that I could use this property as a microcosm of a farm
Work out some of the details here on a small scale
Which is what I have been doing
It’s fun most of the time…..except the ticks and the mosquitoes
(which brought me to lyme disease…..or would that be brought TO me?)
I know so much better when we do move what I need to do to get the results I want
( see this sort of all goes along with the other philosophical writings I been doing lately)
however I don’t believe that staying in this house is good for us as we age
I don’t think it is a good house to grow old in
Nor do I think that this area is safe anymore
But back to life paths
I think that your life path is just that …….YOUR life path
And that sometimes if there are constraints, well maybe that helps narrow the choices down to a amount that isn’t overwhelming?
I know in art school we were taught to give the client THREE choices
Because if we gave them to many……they couldn’t make up their minds
It was too much
Too overwhelming
I think that is the same with life
I also think that it takes a very lot of personal knowledge to survive a place of unlimited and overwhelming choice
Sort of like a kid in the candy shop………..too much candy will get them sick
Or
I could be wrong

Now as of this morning ( I wrote the above last night)
I dreamt of a person that I used to know…….. a LONG time ago
Three times this morning I woke up from a dream only to fall back asleep into that same dream
I dreamt of Lucy Depadova, she is the mother of a boy I went out with in high school.
I loved her dearly
I hope nothing happened to her as the world would surely be a much poorer place withOUT her light in it
(*** thank you so much sjanova for finding that typo, i was still asleep)

ReplyDeleteI do read your blog pretty regularly but don't leave a trail (i.e., comments). I have a friend who has chickens also -- but they're pets, not for the freezer. They do eat the eggs.
About your morning note: You do mean the world would surely be a poorer place WITHOUT her light in it, right? Wonder if you could find her -- or her son -- some way. I suspect she and her family would so love to know that you dreamt of her and how you feel about her.
Getting in touch with someone from so long ago can cause a complete re-thinking of the relationship. I just got e-mail from someone who said she loved visiting my family when we were in elementary school and beyond -- it was the only place where she felt comfortable because there were other people who were intellectual. I had no idea she felt that way back then. Wow. And I've got to tell my mother about it.
