I had a productive yet relaxing day yesterday. I worked in the morning, then spent the afternoon running errands with a friend, having lunch, napping. I asked if he wanted to go to a solstice celebration or drumming circle tomorrow evening 12-21-12, so we may. We’re on the same page, we wait to see how we feel as time approaches rather than carving in stone where we might want to be later. Often sleep wins out over evening events for me. I’ve not gone to the gatherings since he returned in Spring, so I am just now getting back into the flow. I enjoy my solitary celebrations and practices here but also miss the community of shared interest. I’m also getting my sleep schedule back under control!

To Ms. Jump To Conclusions: I am not out to get your man
If you’ve seen emails or messages from me to your man, instead of getting riled up for nothing and sending me confrontational emails, please have him open them in front of you. I’d rather you be ticked at him for secretly undertaking meditation instruction than whatever else you think we’re doing. Fer realz. No hard feelingz. As you were.
When you feel you’ve been broken, take care what comfort you attract
The heart heals as quickly as we allow it to
Sometimes your heart opens wide for one person and another falls into it. Sometimes your heart has been broken and the cracks allow in more grief and pain before the healing begins. Rather than heal our wounds from the inside, we seek an outside balm. Those in pain attract the wounded. Under the guise of the healer, the wounded offer guidance about what they do not fully understand yet themselves, because that is how they unconsciously work it out with themselves. Domino spends hours each week offering compassionate relationship advice to potential suitors. In his own life he is in two relationships with women who do not know of each other. Both think they are the primary partner, both complain of his lack of personal communication skills. Yet they hear him on the phone telling others how to fix the same problem in their life and establishing emotional intimacy with them, while those he professes to love are starving for it. He does not make closure with past mates, who continue to contact him. WTF? Continue reading
The heart breaks to make more room for love. Shakes you from the inside to remind you you’re alive. My heart heals with thick, rope-like scars that I use to pull me up the next clearing where I can see the stars. Singer/Songwriter and so much more Amy Steinberg
Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world, because even your shadow leaves you when you’re in darkness.
Develop your intuition. Encourage your own inner guidance. Make yourself into someone you want to know, someone who fascinates you with your own thoughts and curiosities, someone whose company you really enjoy being in. Bring it forth from within you and you’ll never feel alone again. Ever.

If you liked What The Bleep Do We Know then you’ll enjoy this. Here’s a scientificy explanation of the solar alignment on 12-21-12. Ah, good to know, we may get 3 nights of no sunrise, maybe it means 3 days and nights of no electrical power, maybe no power for anything, even batteries… knowing ahead of time means don’t freak, just relax into it and let it pass. Oh, and the sun may thereafter rise in the west…Then the cycle begins again… What do you think? Continue reading

Don’t tell me cats aren’t thinking, plotting beings
I have to hand it to Izzy, I’ve tried to lock him out of half the house as he recovers from his allergic bout of a few weeks ago. The still prevailing symptom is him going into a trance-like state as he gets a particular kicking action going, then suddenly he’s involuntarily urinating, wherever he is. Like last week on top of my car, this week on my windowsill next to the computer. I’ve been taking him outside but he doesn’t want to be out right now. I place two puppy training pads in the center of the hallway and he’ll powder his nose there. So today I barricade him out of the kitchen – twice. He’s taken to lying on the counter next to the stove. Too risky for accidents, so he gets barricaded out. Twice. Each time, he found a way to move the bar stool and the box fan to knock down the giant sheets of cardboard and leap onto the counter again. “I’ll fix your little red wagon,” I thought as I brought out the vacuum cleaner. His nemesis. He didn’t flinch. He looked me right in the eye from the counter as I turned it on. He kept his eyes locked to mine, looking very unconcerned. I brought the vacuum up to the counter and began to vacuum closer and he didn’t flinch. I vacuumed his tail. Nothing. Well played, Izzy, well played. Stay there, you’ve earned it.

Domino is aggravated by what his mate posts on Facebook
Domino complained last night that his mate is flirty on Facebook and it infuriates him to see it. I suggested he turn off the notifications for her posts. “Then how do I know what she’s doing?” he asked. Why do you want to know what she’s doing if it infuriates you? When you see it, does it make you insecure about your relationship with her? If you did not see it, would you be insecure about your relationship with her based solely upon how she acts and reacts with you? Do you feel the time she spends on Facebook is time she should spend with you? Facebook is another kind of relaxation. It appears she spends her time on the things that make her happy and Domino resents that some of those things do not include him. That’s a slippery slope. Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world, because even your shadow leaves you when you’re in darkness. “So the answer is to stick my head in the sand like an ostrich and not even be aware of it?” The answer is to keep your attention always focused on something that pleases you and, when you encounter something that does not please you, pivot your attention immediately to something that does please you.
