Nancy used the words: permeability of things/people. Got me thinking. Permeability (with our emotions and acceptance of situations) is the answer so many times. Stop resisting (worrying, fretting, hoping, avoiding) and just be with whatever it is. Let it move through you. Be permeable. We don't know what is coming - we WANT to know.

The question:
10 Would you sign up to be a colonist on another planet if it meant you would never be able to return to earth?It would all depend of different things. Would some people I love be going along?

Recently I read an article where they asked elderly people who had been parents what was their happiest time of life and they all ( Read more... )

This morning Dave and I drove to Butler to see our lawyer and talk about drawing up a will. Sounds weird, but just because we are planning something, one part of me can't wait till it happens and we can get all this wrapped up (which means we have to die). Not really. Just something going through my mind as we were there - let's get on with it - do ( Read more... )

I saw where there is a Nick Cave documentary called "20,000 Days on Earth", which made me wonder how many days I have had on earth. Does 23,141 days sound like a lot or a little? It's slowly adding up in 24 hour increments - that is 555,384 hours ( Read more... )
