discover as I go.

ok thank you for your north American bird calls. I definitely recognize many. especially the wood thrush...here that in the woods all the time. what I am noticing is that my hearing sense is not as strong as my visual. which is fine....I just begin to listen.

well I fully agree with many things stated...but why do I have to lose thoughts? Tomorrow I will create something beautiful. I will make a progression of leaf colorations.....(having to copy andy Goldsworthy a bit.) unbelievable coloring hopefully that is not harmful or too self serving. damn this is a difficult forum

well. turn off the light then!

now this is my practice: I read some at the Dao Bums storm this early evening fast drifting clouds so my practice is to commune with nature The bravest bird to the feeder is the tufted T mouse...

ah but

why should I even speculate? and I was wrong.

listening close to the sounds of the birds.

ok

ok

ok

there needs to be a meat emoticon how on earth did an image of a tulip field get mixed up in this topic? I do eat meat. editing it now. I do not digest meat at all and pay dearly for it.

ok

fully convinced I would rather shoe a horse! trim the hooves, paint them black, hammer in the shoe......

well as long as we have shifted to recipes allow me to pass on a really good one. as you well know spinach is a good one in any meal. I think just a notch under kale. I made it last week and it was very good and easy to make. Chickpea, leek and spinach soup. I love garbonzo beans. loves sweetest revenge. no....no dignity here 2 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil 2 medium leeks white and light green parts only, thinly sliced washed and drained 2 15-16 oz cans chickpeas drained and rinsed 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced 4 cups chicken broth 1 lemon juiced(3 Tbsp) 2 5oz.packages baby spinach 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped In a 4 qt pot heat oil over medium pan add leeks. cook, stirring occasionally 5-7 minutes until tender but not browned(reduce heat if leeks begin to brown) stir in chickpeas and garlic cook about 2 minutes stir occasionally add stock and one cup water. bring to boiling. reduce heat. add lemon juice simmer uncovered 5 minutes gradually stir in spinach and thyme cook until spinach is wilted about one minute. season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper. serve immediately. this is just a plain ol recipe. healthy. I bought as many organic items as possible..... I like your political Bassa-Bassa. do you know where the video disappeared to from yesterday.... so many sections that I cannot keep track... I think it was called white cloud. I though it was in daoist section?

.

well what is the point of me "sharing" (loose knit word) if you both want to be showy pulling information out of mid air consciousness otherwise known as my thinking mind? if someone said hey-you are a little bit odd-I would agree. example- I just pretended a few days ago in order to get some cleaning done that I was preparing for a visitor.......... so right away I had to open the windows to increase the prana...... talk about her majesties services.... does buttler really have to T's? looks like a very small detail for editting lets pick out some better thoughts shall we? let me update you on the bounty of the back hillside.... finally the sunflowers all died back as did the corn. endless offerings.....if one takes the time to behold what the earth has to offer. there are atleast 3 different wildflowers out there now. My neighbor said asters were one of them. I do not know. what I do know is that this hillside is nonstop with its own innate beauty and harmony. all that needed to be done was to stop mowing and weed eating. the ones there now are tiny mini looking daisies... you know like the loves me loves me not flower? but very very miniature. and a very pale pale lavender. don't go getting on the merry go round unless you bring dan with you to say sorry for being a jack ass like Eyore. seriously not going.....saddled up ....reins and all...but sitting.....good luck with THIS one! not willing to budge an inch when it is necessary. now..as for snake fear......we can refer back to John Butler anaconda camping trip...... dare you sleep on the banks with that?

john butler does not reference flesh eating demon some other passage in the forum--its a thread title. john butler mentions having his mouth sides slit open and a big YELL to let out "something" I aspire for not too much. I will check out the video today. off to daily routine- I do not think I have wold pack mentality--I tend to sit at the edge but I have been feisty at times. it is necessary to challenge at times though-maybe in some respects. I can imagine that though in a very competitive society and we have lost touch with the land, stars, growing our own food, basic skills like sewing, making things.......valuing stars, or just sitting to enjoy them on a dark evening.....its all computers and tehnology and politics that are bashing and not uplifting to humanity. just my random thoughts streams are polluted as are rivers and oceans as is inside bodies---- I guess cleaning my own is ideal than I have done my part. worried though about skewing my view with others views...we shall see

ok

curing what ails me....not sure if NM can heal inflammatory bowel or my incessant need for comfort. I began watching the video....ha....alittle more less interesting and more complex than john butler. this is material that is not easily assimilated. NOT that each video HERE needs to please ME, by any means. I am at the assumption that you found NM to be a wonderful message and you would like to share that. I have the I am That book and it is a doozy. three hours long video. I wonder if it is steve wollinsky reading each passage in monotony?:-) I like the title rays of the absolute. just to keep it clear! brilliant! you and netti netti and oak certainly resonate.:-) great minds do not think alike!

I do not get carried away by symbols. I just noticed the familiar symbol. I make nonsense mostly out of each moment. yesterday I came home from work and sat on the bed. I moved sweatshirt off the bed and noticed a flea. I do not have a pet at this location. but it got on me somehow.....I managed to kill it because I am not going to try to catch it and take it outside. I guess that is unfair but my instinct were to kill it because otherwise it would hop around in the bed and then bite me. you may not be concerned if people comment or not. but the video in my opinion even without some perspective of being able to relate--is that his words are eloquent and simple pointing to stillness. it is in the manner of how he chooses to form words slowly and tenderly.... away from crowds is good for those who like away from crowds. I am not much of a reader but I would take an interest in what he wrote. I like that he is 79 and that his story goes back far before all the mainstream popularity. simple stories and genuine moments of what his mother and father taught him. the clarity of his father teaching him to work with tools with attention. crowds have things to teach to you know. I learn a lot about myself when I am subject to that environment. I have to attend football games, marching band competitions and endless events like jazz band concerts or fundraising events. I do aspire to live removed from the world....just in wilderness with lots of space....not in an amish sense. threadbare simplicity. the roadsign I mentioned was a stop sign..which is stop. the owl in my mind is symbolic of wisdom. it says-stacey use good wisdom and stop that invitation from occurring. unfortunately it seemed to manifest later in life.... not that that was the invited. so the video quells a bit...then the merry go round begins again... only so much that I can tend to...picking and choosing my battles carefully. how to express oneself from a place of decency and without my hoopla. letting go of angst and the recognition of whatever is passing through to not grab me too long. mostly work related. each moment though. why did the video do you well. and why is the part necessary about the flesh eating demon.
