Gazing at a sunset, often
we feel ourselves standing in the present moment , facing the tomorrow.

9.18.16 There you go
After such a long tiring
day, the car finally came home.
The pup and I pulled ourselves together,
grabbed supplies,
and drove excitedly down to the farmers' fields.
Where we leaped out of the car and took off down
Where we leaped out of the car and took off down
the peaceful dirt road.
9.18.16 Readying for colder days
Down we went to the
farmers' fields this evening, in the warm September air.
Small flocks of Sparrows twittered and took flight, as we passed by the tall corn, unaccustomed to being disturbed after bedtime.
Down we ambled along the arid dirt road, as the colors overhead shifted and changed, as the shadows slowly began to fall .
On we came to freshly shorn corn , the entire season's growth suddenly vanished , the field cut short and barely recognizable .
As a small swarm of insects approached us, swirling about in a group, almost the first insects , not counting pollinators or damsel and dragon flies, I've seen all summer.
So I welcome them, am glad to see them; so much life depends upon these small vital beings.
We gathered ourselves together at the curve of the road , not yet prepared to go further in case the neighbors are still in residence, with their RV and bee bee gun.
Round we came , as a small wind picked up , and I smiled to myself, preparing for the colder days.

9.17.16 Including our love and understanding
Sometimes we end up
believing that the only way to bring value to our bad experiences, invalidated
by others, is to keep on thinking about them. To prove to ourselves how bad
they were. It doesn't work and it doesn't make sense.
You already know whether
you were well supported or not with those bad things happening. Value that
yourself. Always.
How unrelentingly hard and isolating and damaging that was.
Now, for your health and ease and life, consider changing your focus if the
memories come up ,not when you're productively healing, but just ranging.
Consider saying to yourself 'Yes, that was hard and wrong . I'm sorry.
Now
let's return to the present moment, including our love and understanding
for
that past."
