More spidey sense and synchronicity with a friend

I awoke this morning with a line in my head from one of the poems a friend had written when we met:  “We speak the language spiritual, which no one comprehends. You are my teacher and the student, of loving spirit without end. I am closer to the spirit, our entangled spirits chase. The intertwined of loving kind, long past the end of days.” I posted it on Facebook, adding, “That’s all of us here, too. We all teach and learn from each other.”  He replied, “That you would pull THIS poem out of thin air is really strange, as I was drawn to this specific poem yesterday.  Sometimes it’s like you’ve rented space in my head. ”  I said, “And you’re surprised once again at the mind-meld, why?” This happens to us a lot.    Continue reading →

How I spent Christmas Day

I wrote at How do I know if it’s intuition or just my mind talking smack? that I’d synchronistically driven into a friend’s driveway just as he was coming out of his door to walk over. We laugh when that happens, as it often does.  He came with me on a noontime ride along the coast.  I like to take what I call “the loop,” driving south on US1 then east across the Wabasso Causeway to AIA.  Then I head north along Highway AIA with the Atlantic Ocean to the right, and the Indian River to the left, until I come to the Hwy 192 Causeway, which I take west to US1 and then south back home.  It’s a different ride with someone along, so we listened to rock and roll and sang and car danced along with it.  We watched the river and the boats, there were very few on the water although it was a warm 70 degrees.  I dropped him off for a family dinner and got into my day.

How do I know if it’s intuition or just my mind talking smack?

Christmas Eve I was up working and playing until about 7:00am, then slept until noon when I decided to head out to the beach for a surf check.  I figured my sidekick would sleep hours longer, so I got ready and jumped in the car.  I thought, “I wonder if he’s up yet, should I ask him to go?” My mind said, “No, he’s asleep, he was up late.” My intuition stopped me at the corner in front of his house.  “At least tap lightly on the wall and give him the chance to come on my adventure.”  My mind told me, “He’s asleep, drive on.”  I pulled into his driveway and was preparing to put it in neutral to back out without the beeping sounds when he came out the front door, on his way over.  The question always is, “Am I listening to guidance or is that my mind talking smack? How do I know what is intuition and what is my mind pretending it knows what is what?

“Sapiosexual: A behavior of becoming attracted to or aroused by intellignce and its use.”  I find intelligence in a spiritual seeker the most sexually attractive quality.

“I am blasphemy and religion, pure and impure; Old, young, and a small child. If I die, don’t say that he died.  Say he was dead, became alive, and was taken by the Beloved.” ~Rumi

Never say never and give it time, plenty of time

Give it time

A friend I did a reading for earlier this year told me, “You were right, you said the holiday break I would find out who he was and he showed himself.  Now I question if any was real. Never again. Thank you so I was prepared.”  I replied to her, ” It IS real for as long as it lasts.  The beginning is always good behavior.  Give it a year and most show who they are.  They are growing, too.  Take away expectation of anyone doing what they say they’ll do, then you won’t be disappointed when they move from shiny dime to shiny dime. Few can sustain real depth, they know if they stay in one place too long they are unmasked and they can’t handle that… yet. Never say never. Go with the flow and get other things going on.”  We all learn at our own speed. Never punish someone for not having or sustaining depth.  Never punish them for not doing what they say they’ll do.    Never punish them for not continuing to love you.  Remove all expectation, all of it.  If it’s meant to flow, it will flow.

I buy a new cell phone, an HTC One V

After the Brighthouse all out service debacle of this week, I decided I needed a new cell phone with a bigger screen and better browsing ability.  I went to Best Buy December 23rd and originally bought the LG Optimus Elite, similar to the LG Optimus V I currently have.  After consideration, I went back 3 hours later and traded the LG Optimus Elite for an HTC One V, which my computer dude says is a better phone.  It was just $20 more than the Elite. The HTC One has Android 4.0.  It is faster and easier to use.  It weighs about half what my old phone weighed (and about 3.5 pounds less than my first phone weighed LOL).  It is larger but about half the thickness of the last one.  I ordered a sturdy case to make it easier to hold.  I’m loving it for Facebook and texting.  The voice to text feature is excellent and very fast, alhough I do have to speak loudly into it.  I’ll have to practice answering the phone so that it does not disconnect the caller.  The keyboard is either a little big bigger or better spaced, I find it easier to type on.  I love it when the Universe forces me into upgrades in my life.  Most times upgrades that I never even considered seeking out.  My life rocks.
