Daffy

 

First I’ve noticed this year

    Lord have mercy. Hold me close to you throughout this day. Thank you for flowers and memories and friends.

And again

The long views

With a friend, J, who invited me

Noon already

 

Worm tracks. Not fond of them either

And here I still sit. Phone calls this am: bro,  spectrum, terminix ( 3 ants crawling on me!  In my lounge chair!!  Guess I do not welcome all God’s creatures all the time). 

    Finally say hello, Lord. Let the thought of you lift my spirits. Move me, move with me. Bless my dear ones. IJN

More ignorance

 

OK. So you ignore me and I will ignore you

(Something wrong with blogger this morning. Or phone. Images not posting 
I take it back. It just self corrected.)

Now I’ve lost my whole reverie as I was finishing it!  I dislike the feeling of frustration and inauthenticity that comes with trying to reconstruct it. I also feel pressured to walk Red NOW!  So off I go, praying forgive me and walk with me, Jesus.

    And what a grand walk it was; see my other blog for a few dets.

   

      Earlier I remarked how far into the day I had gotten without saying hello, Jesus.  I may say to myself, like my boy I, I’m relaxing; or I’m taking my leisure with comic strips, Sudoku, Jumble, and family phone calls.  But that’s insincere.  I have said many times, “just a closer walk with Thee,” but I make very little effort daily to come close to God.  I may be waiting for Godot, to find out what that encounter really entails, but that’s insincere seems likely to be too late.  I pray for forgiveness and mercy.  IJN

God’s Creatures redux

 

Strolling in the pocket park

I like ‘em!

C said there was a discussion about them at city council, but  no idea what was said.  I hope government leaves well enough alone. 

Too much

Wish it could be better

but I wouldn’t throw it out

  After noon already, nothing accomplished. No aim. Just little tasks, like walk Red and do these blogs, which I foolishly consider my current art form.  Then I should take up these little tasks and do them wholeheartedly!

     I am grateful MF and DM will take up admin of the Sunday Webinar for Gwynne, and for her work all these years running it. 

    I spoke up for Jesus yesterday in one web, saying I had prayed that morning for him to be my essence, I couldn’t think of a better one, I had known him since I was a little child, that I may have left him many times, but he’s never left me. I went on to the topic of my disgruntlement with a favorite spiritual blogger who combines Christianity with Gurdjieff, so rare, with his political TDS and. antiwar diatribes, and that I had considered dropping him. But I realize that’s his personality talk versus essence talk and I don’t want to miss the latter. Thank you, Jesus

     The comments that prompted my own were quite funny to me, starting with, “There’s too much Jesus in Texas…”. LOL. Lord stay in Texas, but come visit ME, OH, and GA every day. IJN

      

Obnoxious

No comment

    I really do not want to read LvL’s anti-war Trump derangement syndrome publications. They negate and make me want to not read any of his publications, which seemed to have spiritual reality to me. I think people need to stop conflating their politics with their conscience.  Just because you think you have the moral high ground does not mean you do.  You have an opinion and so do I, and neither one of us knows if God has an opinion about the wars of earth and struggles between and within nations. I suspect the sufferings of Ors, like a single cell in a body, are too tiny for the Universe to notice.  So as they say, only history will tell. 

     And I pray, Lord, thank you for each breath, and grant us all a healthy day. Be in my awareness every moment. IJN

Good advice

I like this one from D’s friend.

     Words from the stars . . It is very important at this time to align our actions with our highest morals and ideals, and to avoid taking shortcuts. And enjoy your day and night.

 

     And the word for today is . . . WRONG-DOINGS. Universe asks that you not get hooked on the high of discord and trauma. Take that chip from your shoulder and realize that we all get our feelings hurt in this life. Fire yourself from the karma police; resign as the general manager of Universe. You are no longer responsible for sorting out the world's wrong-doings. Go from victim to victor. Let people be responsible for their actions and allow life itself to be responsible for the consequences. And rock on in this crazy world. Love and peace, Kate of the Universe

Close up—kind of
