And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:
A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

The Temple Bell

Remain faithful to the earth, my brothers and sisters,
with the power of your virtue.  Let your gift-giving love
and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.
Thus I beg and beseech you.  Do not let them fly away
from earthly things and beat  with their wings against
eternal walls.  Alas, there has always been so much
virtue that has flown away.  Lead back to the earth the
virtue that flew away ... back to the body, back to life,
that it may give the earth a meaning ...
     Verily, the earth shall yet become a site of recovery
and even now a new fragrance surrounds it, bringing
salvation - and a new hope.
                                    - FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE



The temple bell
stops ringing
but the sound keeps
coming
out of the flowers.
- BASHO

Staying close to the earth is so healing ... breathing deeply the air, digging toes 
into the sand, running fingers through blades of fresh grass.
Life can be so busy, and this world so electronic!!

Mother Earth carries a deeper history,
a depth of connection,
a true Spirit of life ....
right there for the connection ....
if I so choose!

and, I do!!
