  1. And if your weary by all means, Michael row your boat ashore. Avoid the rocks if at all possible, and please refrain from asking me why!
  2. A seasonal effect? Possibly more pronounced in the spring, slowing in summer diminishing in fall? I gain great comfort working in, walking in, being in nature. My emotions often follow the seasons.
  3. Parenting

    Walls don't have to be confronted. Look to nature they can be dug under (ground hog) climbed over (snake) leapt over (deer) or ignored(me).
  4. I maintain I didn't exist until an egg was fertilized. I, being the particular physical manifestation that I identify as myself. From that zygote nine months (more or less) later a huge (relative to the zygote anyway) being emerged as an individual (at least in my case) so yes I believe in miracles. This or that is my current understanding. I studied soil classification many decades ago as a requirement of earning a degree. My understanding of soil has grown even though I am not current with the latest in soil nomenclature. My ability to converse with others is limited whether it be soil, or anything else for that matter. I suspect but can't prove that I am not alone in that. My understandings of soil have grown over the years mostly through observations which were / are prejudiced by my needs and desires. I find a place of comfort to explore from. During my explorations I often tumble into a rabbit warren. It may or may not be comfortable. Based upon my experience I think I learn and grow more when confronted with discomfort. I don't intentionally seek discomfort. But I don't run away from it either. Random tombstones I have encountered include : Born Suffered Died, and I knew this would happen someday. I consider me (my being) a gift / blessing of the highest order. As are all of my senses.
  5. I also, would suggest consulting both a acupuncturist and a physician. Best wishes!
  6. My fave is bicolor, btw we feed the peg corn to the mule, its rough on human chompers!

    " 90% of success is showing up" While I agree, I would counter that 100% of failures begin by not showing up. Choices always better than orders! Two examples of the many gems insights offered in this thread. Thanks

    It all depends upon your path and the signs therein... For instance should you encounter a sign stating: "abandon hope all ye who enter here" I suggest: An immediate u turn or should you find "your going through hell don't slow down keep on moving"
