Play Attention People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was talking to myself quietly in my head and I accidentally said play instead of pay.First, I pondered whether I had ever fumbled my words inside my mind before, to which, I have no recollection of this ever previously happening.Secondly, I laughed at the ridiculousness of mispronouncing a thought without actually pronouncing anything.After all, how do you mess up a word merely by thought and not by the mistake (or accidental intentional slip up) by the utterances of the mouth?It’s funny when
ElderCare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was listening to a well-known farmer the other day.I’m always exploring ways to learn how to connect with the land, how to garden, how to take care of more animals before I make even greater commitments than my tiny homestead is ready to take on (and me). I like to hear differing perspectives, some a little woo, some more practical.I have no clue about any of it, only that I’ve learned more about how to take care of chickens and ducks by doing it than listening to advice on the internet.I am s
Life Lessons from the Universe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don’t have to believe what I’m about to tell you, nor should you.I’ve experienced and tested this myself.Learning this about how the Universe works has helped me recognize when I’m in a loop, where I’m being asked to look at (and work on) something, or simply for a giggle from the cosmic jokester.Now here’s when I say the cliché that no one ever actually seems to take to heart:What you resist persists.For example, if you always rebel against outer authority, maybe it’s actually not about the
The Mockingbird (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The natural world, in all its wildness and brutifulness (my word for its beauty and brutality combined), holds the innocence that humans forget.It reminds us to laugh, to stop, and to be present.Note, I’m including the super-nature-al in this assessment.I like to imagine four-leaf clovers as gifts from the fae. They wait and wonder if we’ll “notice” and they cheer when we find the magic of being present…and find the present.Sometimes I feel like I walk by a tree when working in the yard and it i
Time Freedom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To me, disconnection from modern life is never hard and fast, even if you make a clean cut and walk away.Maybe it’s never possible to “fully” disconnect, I don’t know.Every comfort is a tether.Every distraction is a reminder.Every temptation is an invitation to return.Every justification back is a tie still in a knot.No matter how awakened you are, there is always another level to unravel, another way to see.Things we resist or hate still hold messages for us.Things we fight or surrender to stil
